Before this Halloween, let’s hold a food drive in our school and bring non-perishable food items. Then, we are going to drop them off at a local food bank or help children from a village nearby.

Let’s join those who have been striving for years in many countries to help people in need ♥:

It takes a real hero to stand up to hunger.

Please, join us! Be Hunger Heroes!

Cyberbullying – means that people use technology to harm or harass other people such as: mean text messages or emails,  posted on social networking sites, or embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.

 Effects of Cyberbullying:

Cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyberbullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar.

Kids who are cyberbullied are more likely to:

• Use alcohol and drugs
• Skip school
• Experience in-person bullying
• Be unwilling to attend school
• Receive poor grades
• Have lower self-esteem
• Have more health problems

You can prevent this together with parents and school

Report it when it happens

And, when using the internet:

The  European Commission website has  statistics about the poverty in Europe.

According to these statistics,  Romania has the  highest rate of poverty and social exclusion in the European Union

Last year in the European Union, 124.5 million people or 24.8 percent of the population were at risk of poverty or social exclusion, up from 24.3 percent in 2011 and 23.7 percent in 2008.

In Romania, about  42 percent of citizens  fell into one of these groups, according to the Eurostat study we mentioned above.

That’s why we try to find ideas in order to  make a change in people’s life.

The natural greenhouse effect

Earth’s atmosphere behaves like a gigantic greenhouse, though it traps heat a different way. Gases high in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, behave like a giant piece of curved glass wrapped right round the planet. The Sun’s rays (mostly visible light and short-wavelength, high-energy ultraviolet radiation) pass straight through this greenhouse gas and warm up Earth

Questions to Ask a Beef Farmer

Are your animals raised on pasture? When cows are raised on pasture or in fields, they graze outdoors and have plenty of room to roam and a diversity of grasses to eat. Cows belong to a group of animals called ruminants, whose stomachs are best suited to digest grasses. Ideally, you should choose beef from cows grazed on pasture.

Are your animals fed anything else besides grass, hay and grass silage? On factory farms, feed may be supplemented with unsavory additives such as animal byproducts, rotten food, poultry manure and feathers, and even cement dust. The best answer to this question is that the cows ate only grass, hay, and silage. Beyond that, you want to be sure that the cows had a 100% vegetarian diet. Many farmers, including some sustainable farmers, supplement cows’ diet with corn. While this is still vegetarian feed, it’s important to remember that cows are not well adapted to eating corn, and a large amount of corn in a cow’s diet can make it sick.

How are your animals finished? “Finishing” is the weight-gaining process an animal undergoes as it’s readied for slaughter. If an animal is finished on pasture, it eats only grasses and hay up until slaughter and is 100% grass fed. If an animal is finished on grain, it means that for a certain amount of time before slaughter, it was fed grain. The most common grain used, and the hardest for a cow to digest, is corn. Many farmers maintain that grain gives meat the marbling and texture that most consumers are used to, but providing only grain to a cow will make it sick.”
