Ecology and Religion

Every week we are given a paper to read and every Tuesday at 11.30 we meet all together and have a discussion around the topic. It is so far the only constant event during my working hours. Tomorrow we are going to reveal our comments on "Big ecological questions in Australia". Climate change is the most serious issue. Almost every part of nature is influenced by that. It acts in synergy with other factors to produce numerous direct and indirect effects. For example:
- Ocean acidification
- Coastal inundation
- Weed invasion
- Decrease of biodiversity

and so on and so on. I' ve been hearing about it since I started my first year at the University of Life Science in Lublin. Today I surfed the net in search of explanation for word Religion. And I am close to state that Ecology is a new religion in XXI century : ) Religion as a word derives from Latin relegere which means " to read over again". Isn't like this that we see those ecological informations across all media?
- Do not waste, recycle!
- Save energy!
- Save water!
- Use public transport!

and so on and so on. I think this is a beauty of life = constant and unpredictable change that science and mind can not grasp. And it seems that Kevin Rudd together with Barack Obama share my opinion. Otherwise they would sign up the Kyoto protocol about reducing the emission of greenhouse gases : )
Anyway, I am happy I am biking to work everyday. I reduces my transport costs, I reduce my fat tissue layer and by the way I support all other countries beside USA and Australia in reducing the production of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).

Glorious / Disgraceful Tuesday 19 June 2018

I simply have to diarize that Thrilling Tuesday (19 June 2018). That Tuesday didn't start anything special. Following one month or so of Christina's unflattering comments on my hairstyle I arranged a meeting with a hairdresser. Here we come - the roller coaster starts accelerating. The hairdresser turned out to be a rock/jazz band singer and I could not stop asking for more details. Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )

Few days ago my friend Bartek sent to me this picture: It is a view from his window. Transport/communication in Lublin at the time of this white precipitation was paralysed. Bartek asked me to stop uploading pictures of sunny Australia : ) if I want to save him from depression.
