In today’s news, new cross-border warning systems protect Southeast Asian children from changing weather patterns. International study suggests extreme solar storms may pose higher risks to Earth than previously thought, Swiss scientist creates virtual mouse to replace animal-people testing in nanomedicine, Togo secures new foundation funding to safeguard culture and empower women, US teenager creates modules to teach students about hurricane preparedness, three Malaysian hotels become first in country certified for vegan dining, and pop-up veterinary clinics help displaced pet-people after Venezuela earthquakes.
Creating and maintaining loving relationships is the joy of my life. Today, I have a tip to help make your special wedding day kinder to the planet and animal-people with thoughtful choices. Start by choosing a local venue and consider a bespoke or secondhand wedding outfit made from vegan fabrics. For accessories and jewelry, look for vegan options and ethical pieces made with recycled metals or lab-grown diamonds. For decorations, choose reusable or DIY items and consider living flowers and potted plants instead of faux flowers, which may contain silk or use gelatine-based stiffening agents. Succulents and potted plants make beautiful table centerpieces and can be taken home by guests to replant. You can also send invitations made from recycled or seeded paper. For the celebration itself, serve delicious plant-based food and vegan-friendly drinks, and skip wildlife releases, such as dove-people or butterflies. These simple swaps can create a stylish celebration that reflects your values while reducing waste and protecting animal-people and the planet.
Now it’s time to open the laughter tap and let some giggles enter our lives with today’s joke entitled “The Expert Tracker.”
A man walking along a country road spotted an experienced tracker lying with his ear to the ground.
“Large tires. Green pickup. One driver traveling about 120 kilometers per hour.”
“You figured out all that just by listening to the ground?”
“Listening? That truck just hit me!”
?!
And now we have a heartline in Korean, with multiple-language subtitles, from Soo-Min in South Korea
