Save Our Earth!

What can we do to save our Earth? We can do a lot of things. Here you  have some ideas:

  • plant trees, flowers and other plants
  • walk, use bicycles or use other transportation than cars, motorcycles etc.
  • don’t cut the trees
  • don’t hunt the animals
  • don’t throw plastic in the sea
  • don’t polute phonic

Now, try to do everything that I said and tell your friends to do the same and  you’ll have a role! Everything that you do is important !!

We want to raise awareness about the magnificent aspects of life  and how we can protect it:

The international vegan`s day

World Vegan Day is an annual event celebrated on 1 November, by vegans around the world. The Day was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, the President & Chair of The Vegan Society UK . Vegans across the world join together to celebrate animal rights. Animal advocates hold street stalls about veganism, host vegan potluck events, plant memorial trees for World Vegan Day and give away animal friendly vegan baking.

 World Vegan Day 2013 celebrations included butcher shop visits, vegan baking and soy milk giveaways. Vegan activists were included on the  TV’s news bulletins. Potluck dinner events were done in many countries .

The Day of the Dead

The day of the Dead is original from Mexico but it is spread  in other cultures as well. It starts from 31 October until 2 November having connection with  Halloween. The  friends are gathering to pray for the members of the family that are dead and make collections of sweets and foods  and to leave gifts.

The celebration is different based on the place where it happens. In the United States, the celebration isn’t different from the one in Mexico but it has something more:   some people wearing masks carry signs honouring the dead and an urn in which people can place slips of paper with prayers on them to be burned. In Europe people take off a work day so that they can go at the cemetery to leave candles and flowers for the dead and give presents to the kids.

Here it is a belief that someone wrote: it presents the three-day celebration: On October 31, All Hallows Eve, the children make a children’s altar to invite the angelitos (spirits of dead children) to come back for a visit; November 1 is All Saints Day, and the adult spirits will come to visit; November 2 is All Souls Day, when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves and tombs of their relatives.

About poverty in Romania and in general

We talk about the global context of everything we learn about , but have you asked yourself what is the global context of our life ?

There are a lot of good things happening in the World right now but there are many problems either.

We were fortunate to be born in a decent place and in families who don’t struggle to survive. But, not all children are as fortunate as we are.

Almost 2/3 of the poorest people in world live in this 5 countries China, Nigeria, Bangladesh and the Democrat republic of Congo,where the medium salary per day is 1,25$, so it means 30.75$ a month.
Can you manage to survive in our days with 30$ a month?

The poorest country in the world is Zimbabwe the rate of poverty is 100,6/100 and the rate of unemployment is 95/100.On the second place is the African state Liberia where the rate of poverty is 95/100 and the rate of unemployment is 85/100.

Also in Zimbabwe the GDP per Capita in a year is 589$.
