Queen Elizabeth's Funeral


Queen Elizabeth's Funeral

When I think about the vast amount of  tax payers’  money  spent , as well as , the exorbitant amount of money spent for countless flowers etc. and the degradation to the quality of our air with  travellers coming from all over the world to the Queen funeral, I  wish  the Queen had left strict instructions for her last wishes.

Imagine what an everlasting impact and legacy if she could have had, if she had declared that instead of a nine day funeral procession ,  she would like to use 50 % of her estate  and donations from her loyal subjects to create GHG - reducing- and - carbon sink  parks and woodlands  in all the Commonwealth countries in her name.
Then she would have create a peaceful solace where people could hike, explore, mediate, and think about her legacy.

Hopefully, King Charles the 3 rd , who apparently is profoundly concerned about global overheating and climate chaos, will seriously think about an everlasting legacy that dovetails his passions.

Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water

Bacteria in bottled water can multiply very quickly when stored over long periods or exposed to intense heat. Our oil supplies are peaking and gas prices are sky rocketing, making plastic bottles

DON'T TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN

 DON'T  TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN On Sunday, October 15, the Barrie Garden Club ventured out on a dark, dreary, and drizzly day to pick up litter, along Highway 26 close to Wilson Avenue. As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables. So it boggles my mind why so many Canadians do not use the readily provided containers, but instead  treat Mother Earth like a gigantic garbage bin. I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage to carry  it back home a
