Microplastics could raise stroke & heart attack risk
& may explain residual cardiovascular risk where 20-30% of those treated for common factors still have heart attacks & strokes

Kitchen sponges like these are made of plastic. They have a short lifespan, & as they degrade they release microplastics that end up in the sea. They can't be recycled, so remain in landfill for 100s of years. Eco-friendly alternatives are available – see:

PLEASE SHARE. Chinese police are attacking Wongtho Monastery, detaining hundreds of Tibetan Buddhist monks. Dozens have been hospitalised as a result of police violence.
Tibet deserves freedom. End the occupation, FREE TIBET!
It is almost impossible to get news and footage of police repression out of Tibet so this is extremely rare

(AL) It is vital that we protect #birds and the habitats they rely on, particularly during nesting season. From March 1 until Aug 31, it is against the law to cut, burn or otherwise destroy vegetation including hedges.
We urge you to respect this and share this info widely!

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” scoop.me/housing-first-finla…

“Humanity has trapped itself into a parasitic relationship with Earth. A parasite doesn’t know it’s a parasite, because it does not know of any other way to exist: it simply takes for granted the nutrition it receives, without any consideration for its host
We need to rethink our entire mode of existence on this planet”

This podcast came out very well indeed! It has a sharp focus on why the adaptive responses of anxiety and low mood are so often useless...even when the control mechanisms are normal.

Goldfinches in Wildflower Meadow
We’ve seen a concerted effort by the public to increase native wildflower meadows in recent years, a long disappearing habitat. Such habitat helps sustain the colourful and energetic scenes shown here

‘The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn’
Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which parts of two different trees, commonly but not exclusively the same species, grow together, self grafting and sharing nutrients
The term emanates from latin- ōsculārī, to kiss
