Fast fashion contributes to plastic pollution

Fast fashion is an invisible contributor to plastic pollution in the ocean.
                             Clothing that is cheap and durable but made of plastic such as acrylic or polyester,when washed,releases thousands of plastic microfibers.A single load of acrylic or polyester clothes when washed can release thousands of plastic fibres in the water.These plastic fibres end up in waste waters and then move on to lakes,rivers and seas.These plastic microfibres add to microplastic pollution in the ocean and accumulate in the food chain.
                           To help alleviate this problem,we should buy fewer clothes and wash synthetic clothes less often.

Bad breath

The moister your mouth the fresher your breath is.Saliva is nature's way of keeping our breath fresh.Saliva has oxygen in it and oxygen is the natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria.
                                        The more saliva you have the fresher your breath.By drinking plenty of water we can keep the saliva in our mouth going all day long.

Alcohol makes your mouth dry and makes your bad breath worse.
                      Smoking also makes your mouth dry and makes bad breath worse.

Some think love can be measured by the amount of butterflies in their tummy.Others think love can be measured in bunches of flowers,or by using the words 'forver'.But love can only truly be measured by actions.It can be a small being ,such as peeling an orange for a person you love because you know they don't like doing it.-Marian Keyes

New York city bans cashless stores

New York city crafted legislation in January 2020 that would prohibit restaurants and retail outlets from going cashless.Food establishments would be forced to accept cash as payment under this law.
                                We must balance technological progress with equity.Cash is a universal currency.
                                   A broader trend has unfolded in the U.S. recently.San Francisco and Philadelphia also adopted bans on cashless stores and restaurants recently.The cashless marketplace and the cashless business model are being increasingly banned for brick-and-mortar businesses.
                                    Many businesses and retail stores want to go cashless.But several people are fighting back against this.
                                       There are many reasons to ban the cashless business model.Senior citizens often prefer cash.Many poor people in the U.S. have no creditworthiness and cannot pay by card.Many people are unbanked or underbanked;the unbanked have no credit cards or debit cards and can only pay by cash.(Those who are underbanked live in areas where there are few to no banks).
                                       Many other people also want to pay in cash because they are protective of their privacy.We live in an age of Big Tech and mass surveillance and identity theft;some people also prefer to pay in cash because they are afraid of identity theft.
                                           The fact is that many people still insist on using cash.Other American cities and Canadian cities should pass legislation too to ban cashless brick-and-mortar restaurants and retail outlets.

Quote from Jacob Bronowski

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin,barefoot irreverence to their studies;they are not here to worship what is known,but to question it.-Jacob Bronowski

New year resolutions

It is estimated that 80% of new year resolutions fail by the second week of February.
                                          Instead of setting year-long resolutions,sometimes you should go for micro resolutions.Set goals for a four-week period.Achieve a month-long goal.Set a different goal for each month or week.

Unfairly light jail sentence for cab driver killer in Yellowknife

Ahmad Mahamud Ali,a taxi driver of Somali origin,was 73 years-old when he was murdered by Elias Schiller on November 19,2018 in Yellowknife.
                                    Elias Schiller was 18 years old at the time of the crime.In January 2020,Justice Andrew Mahar sentenced Elias Schiller to only four years in prison,citing Schiller's remorse for his crime,his indigenous background,his troubled upbring,his history of substance abuse and the fact that Elias Schiller suffered a lot of bullying at school because of being overweight.The judge also noticed that Schiller did not have a previous history of crime.
                                     Elias Schiller got off with a very light sentence for committing a horrible crime.He should have gotten 8 to 10 years of a prison sentence at least.
