Dear Friends,
Many of you will have seen the Guardian newspaper article by Kevin Rusby: We want to keep our Forest: Why Guyana’s Wilderness Needs Visitors and his wonderful descriptions of trees festooned with ferns, creepers and orchids; of a jungle full of treasures and jewel-like birds in splendid emerald and sapphire livery. It’s impossible to read it without feeling nostalgic for Guyana. Continue reading

Urgency over the need to curb global warming seems to be finally taking hold
– By MOHAMED HAMALUDIN
Republicans have unique perspectives on global warming, the accelerated overheating of the planet by carbon dioxide emissions which poses an existential threat to the human race.
Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe once held up a snowball in the Senate in 2015 as proof that the planet is not getting hotter. Illinois Congressman John Shimkus, an evangelical Christian, cited God’s promise to Noah in Genesis 8:21 never again to destroy the world by flooding.

Environment: Plastic Pollution: Coca-Cola Nasty Plastic Problem + Video
By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. Ten tons of plastic are produced every second.
Sooner or later, a tenth of that will end up in the oceans. Coca-Cola says it wants to do something about it – but does it really?
In January 2018, Coca-Cola made an ambitious announcement:
The brand, which sells 120 billion plastic bottles every year, promised a “world without waste” by 2030.
