Humanity has wiped out 60% of animal populations since 1970 !

Humanity has wiped out 60% of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles since 1970, leading the world’s foremost experts to warn that the annihilation of wildlife is now an emergency that threatens civilisation.

The new estimate of the massacre of wildlife is made in a major report produced by WWF and involving 59 scientists from across the globe. 

It finds that the vast and growing consumption of food and resources by the global population is destroying the web of life, billions of years in the making, upon which human society ultimately depends for clean air, water and everything else.

“If there was a 60% decline in the human population, that would be equivalent to emptying North America, South America, Africa, Europe, China and Oceania. That is the scale of what we have done.”

Mike Barrett, executive director of science and conservation at WWF.

I’m not about storing up clothes I no longer wear so here’s what an old t-shirt turned into! Yep, I tried it and it worked! lol

METHOD: 1. Remove the sleeves.

2. Cut the bottom of the t-shirt into slits +-1-2cm wide.

3. Knot every two pieces (front and back of t-shirt).

4. Add beads to the bottom and tadaaaaa!

La mejor protección para tu OnePlus 6

El OnePlus 6 se ha convertido en uno de los smartphones más codiciados de este año. Es cierto que ya no es tanta la diferencia con respecto a otros que son más caros, pero ahí está su gran desempeño durante los últimos años. En mi caso, he de decir que soy poseedor de uno y estoy encantado con él. No por ello intentaré venderoslo, solo decir que es un gran teléfono. Tan codiciado es para mi, que…

This weeks recycle project is peggy the love pot.

First, let me say, I don’t do Valentine’s day. I tried it a couple of times in high school -EPIC FAIL- and nipped it in the bud then and there. So, this week’s activity was going to be a more playful, kiddies version of the toilet roll core gift box and the outcome looks like I was in some kinda Valentine’s mood -so not the case! Also, it was made with a little girl in mind so the colours and hearts make sense... right? HA! Don’t look at me like that, this is not about Valentines day, ok?

Materials: • Colour paper • Paper glue • Scissors • String • Confetti (I used the ones from my punch) • A surprise (I used a kiddies watch and some stickies -got for free at the supermarket lol kids like that kinda stuff!)

Method: Cut the Toilet roll core at about 2/3 its length. The 2/3 will be used for the cracker and the 1/3 will assist with the wrapping. I cut out some hearts for decoration.

Place the paper in landscape, and roll it around the 2/3 toilet roll core. Add some glue to hold it together.

Place the 1/3 toilet roll core in to the rolled paper spacing it about 5cm from the 2/3 toilet roll core which should be in the center of the rolled up page. The 1/3 core creates the cracker shape at the ends of the page. Squeeze the paper together between the two cores and tie with a string. Remove the 1/3 core.

Add the confetti and surprise and close the other side as in step 4 & 5. I added the hearts for decoration.
