How to cut down on plastic?

Cutting down on plastic is not easy, but there are ways you can do it. Bringing a reusable bag is a good start for less plastic production. You can even find bags that can fold and they don't take up much space. And when you're shopping you should try looking for products that aren't wrapped in plastic, and this applies for both food and cosmetics. Bringing your own food to work or school is better than buying a takeaway everyday. It's cheaper and more eco-friendly. Also carrying a cup you can refill is a good idea. A lot of coffee shops even offer small discounts when you bring your own cup.


In my opinion this topic is really popular and important but still not many people care. Especially when it comes to fast fashion and buying groceries wrapped in plastic. I feel like fast fashion is really popular these days and a lot of famous people promote buying cheap, plastic clothing. I think it's not a bad thing to buy stuff from those shops, because sometimes you want to buy yourself something nice and new, but you shouldn't buy everything you want in them. Now buying from second hands is getting popular and it's also more eco-friendly and it’s not expensive as well. There even exist apps and websites, where you can buy nice second hand clothing.When it comes to groceries I feel like it’s way harder to find products without plastic wraps. For example when it comes to different types of pastas, I personally never saw them being sold without plastic packaging. When it comes to cosmetics I think it’s the hardest to find something without plastic packaging and if you do find something, you usually don’t have as many varieties of products as you would have with products in plastic containers. I try my best to not use much plastic but sometimes it’s impossible to cut it down on it.

Can you learn a language in your sleep?

Sleep learning was first shown in cartoons which started to interest more and more people that wanted to know if you actually can learn while sleeping. Finally thanks to neuroimaging we know that the brain in some phases of sleep can actually pick up some information. They tested it out on people who wanted to quit smoking and 35% of them actually quit after they mixed the smell of rotten fish with the smell of cigarettes and presented it to them during the time they slept. Then they tested if they can teach people japaneses while sleeping. During the day they played a sound of animal and an image of them to the person learning then when they were sleeping they played the sound of animal and what are they called in japanese and in the morning they played what the animal is called with two images to choose from and they observed that the participants chose the wright picture with their skills rather than luck. That means that it is possible to learn language while sleeping, but they rec...

How to sleep better and reduce back pain

 Sleeping is really important, so how you sleep is crucial for your well being. A physiotherapist who used to have back pain from bad sleeping revealed how to improve your sleep position. First she recommends stretching before you go to bed. This can help with your blood and oxygen flow, plus your body can get siff from static position when you sleep. You should also try exercising during the day. Another tip is to try and find a mattress that will suit you, because a mattress that is too soft or too hard can be bad depending on your body. Also your pillow position is important, some people that sleep on their side put one pillow under their head and one between their legs and it helps them reduce their back pain. The last tip is to try and relax before going to bed. 30 minutes before you sleep you should do something that will relax your mind and body. In my opinion sleeping is really important and I can see it, because my mood depends on how good and how much I have slept. The be...

Taliban ban Afghan women from university education

On the 20th of December Taliban banned women from afghanistan from university education. Earlier women were banned from going to secondary schools as well as going to gym, parks, funfairs, public baths. Women were also banned from traveling without a male relative. Women are terrified for their future. They are paid a small salary after they were pushed from their jobs, to stay at home. Ramiz Alakbarov, who is the secretary general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan showed his concern on Twitter for the future of Afghanistan, if women are blocked from education. This is happening, because of the takeover of Afghanistan by the Islamist last year in August. I think I wouldn't know what to do, if i was in the Afghan women position. I feel really sorry for them, but personally I don't know if there is any way to help them. I also agree with the secretary general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan, about the future of Afghanistan, if women are not allowed ...
