GREEN: Eat locally or at home, take your lunch in reusable containers, use reusable utensils and a cloth napkin. Extra waste comes from doing big shops, and putting two-for-one bargains in the trolley. Whole-animal eating is respecting the animal enough to realise that, if it has died for you, you can make use of every part of it. Recycle kitchen scraps, in a compost bin. Stop using plastic bottle and paper cups by going for reusable options. Look for loose fruit and vegetables. Plant a tree in memory of a loved one. Some house plants remove formaldehyde released from carpets and furniture. Try going paperless. Repurpose your items. Instead of turning on lights and lamps, save the planet by using natural light whenever possible. Being active outside is a great way to reduce your daily use of electricity and get a daily dose of vitamin D. Research local events in your area that contribute to or promote sustainability. No need for tech toys every year. Have the heater is a few degrees lower. Then, use more blankets. Use washing machine, dishwasher, and other household appliances less often, wait for full load. Take showers instead of baths. Beware modern, pumped power showers can use more, not less, water than bathing it is claimed. Only use the standby mode when you’re sure you’ll get back soon. By cleaning and maintaining your white goods, you will prolong their life. Shut off the water when brushing your teeth. Walk, or cycle, Use motor vehicles only when needed. Reusing furniture. Airship NATURE: Honeybees visit only one type of flower in any one foraging trip. The more vegetation you have, the more carbon you are storing. Hedgehogs eat pests such as caterpillars, slugs and snails. Will I wear it at least 30 times, before buying? Clothes shipped across the world have a high carbon footprint. All animals and plants are carbon stores. Globally, 10 billion tonnes of carbon are transferred to seabed sediments when phytoplankton die or are eaten then excreted. https://www.wildlifetrusts. CARBON: Many are commenting that the government and the council are avoiding making carbon cuts for themselves. Farmers must get recognition for the trees that they plant and the hedges that they grow. “At the minute within the national inventories, all the benefits associated with this activity go directly to society,” he said. “The carbon that is locked up by grass, trees and hedges must be allowed to offset the emissions produced by animals on farms. This is not the case at the moment. https://www.agriland.ie/ It is claimed that 100 global companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. CSO: Milk prices increased in 2020 and, with output expanding by 3.9%, the value of milk production grew by €144.1 million (5.5%), from €2.6 billion to just under €2.8 billion. GROWTH: GlaxoSmithKline turnover grew by 5% to £9.1 billion in the third quarter. MORE: School books are dumped, Farmers are being forced by regulations to erect buildings etc and in a few years will be idle, rather than repair, many items are disposed, fashion and advertising contribute to global warming and should carry a warning. CLIMATE finance plays a critical role in helping developing countries tackle climate change and adapt to its impacts. In 2009, developed countries agreed to mobilise $100bn in climate finance per year by 2020, and in 2015 agreed to extend this goal through to 2025. However, the UK COP26 Presidency now says the $100bn goal is likely to fall short in 2021 and 2022 – though is confident it will be met in 2023. Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of the Maldives, said: “To provide confidence and momentum going into COP26, the $100bn climate finance goal must be met immediately, not in 2023. https://www.bbc.com/news/

The length of the occupation remains unclear, though it may have been a decade or less, and perhaps 100 Norse people were present at any given time, Dee said. Their structures resembled Norse buildings on Greenland and Iceland. Oral histories called the Icelandic Sagas depict a Viking presence in the Americas. Written down centuries later, they describe a leader named Leif Erikson and a settlement called Vinland, as well as violent and peaceful interactions with the local peoples, including capturing slaves. The 1021 date roughly corresponds to the saga accounts, Dee said, adding: “Thus it begs the question, how much of the rest of the saga adventures are true?” Reporting by Will Dunham in Washington, Editing by Rosalba O’Brien BACTERIA IN INVADERS’ BONES New research suggests the Vikings brought leprosy to Ireland as remains from Irish cemeteries examined —————— Researchers focused on five cases of probable leprosy which were identified in human skeletal remains excavated from burials in Ireland —————————— None of the three individuals appear to have been local to Dublin and, while one may have been British or from the north of Ireland, the remaining two grew up in Scandinavia. https://www.thesun.ie/news/
