#freshair

Fresh air between us — the wind carries your words in, even when you leave.

Space to breathe — no confinement, no questions, just the knowing: you will return, or perhaps not.

No walls, only horizons — I watch you fade, grow small, and hold nothing.

You leave and return — your steps on the stairs, familiar, each time anew.

I stay here — at the open window, with the feeling of wind, with the waiting, which is no burden, only expanse.

I want to thank you all – for your visits, likes, and reposts, which are still reaching me despite everything. I see it all and really appreciate it!

I’m currently spending a few days hiking in the mountains (around 2500 m altitude), with rather weak signal. So it’s a bit quiet here at the moment. Occasionally, I manage to post – I’ll share more once I’m back down.

Until then: It’s good to know you’re here. Raja 🌿

Kurzes Lebenszeichen aus den Bergen ⛰️

Ich möchte mich kurz bedanken – für eure Besuche, Likes und Reposts, die trotz allem bei mir ankommen. Ich sehe das alles und freue mich sehr!

Zurzeit bin ich ein paar Tage zum Wandern in den Bergen unterwegs (auf etwa 2500 m), mit eher schwachem Empfang. Deshalb ist es hier gerade etwas still. Ab und zu klappt’s mit einem Post – mehr gibt’s dann, wenn ich wieder unten bin.

Clean air is the most important thing for life on Earth 🌎. Humans, animals, and plants all depend on it to stay alive and healthy. Without clean air, it becomes difficult to breathe and living things cannot live long ⛔.

For humans, the oxygen in the air is essential. Every cell in our body needs oxygen to produce energy 💪. Breathing polluted air can cause asthma, lung disease, heart disease, and other health problems 😷. Clean air helps people live longer and stay active.

Animals also need the oxygen in clean air to breathe. Birds, mammals, insects, and aquatic animals all depend on oxygen to survive 🐦🐘🐠. Polluted air can damage their lungs, affect growth, and even reduce their chances of survival. Many animals are sensitive to smoke, fumes, and chemical gases, which can damage entire ecosystems 🌳.

Plants also need clean air. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air for photosynthesis, the process by which food is made 🌱☀️. This process also releases oxygen, which humans and animals need. Air pollution can block sunlight, damage leaves, and slow plant growth 🌫️. Without plants, the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air can be disrupted, affecting all life.

Vehicles 🚗, factories 🏭, burning waste 🔥, and many other human activities cause air pollution. Protecting the air means planting more trees 🌳, reducing emissions, using clean energy ⚡, and avoiding burning waste.
