I've read an article in Independet by Chantal da Silva called " Finland remains happiest country in the world - even during Covid". It shows that Finland is on the of World Happieness Report, for the fourth year in a row. In this year Finland was was put to the test because of Covid-19 pandemic, but it wasn't an problem. In fact, it was something that helped the residents of Finland during the lockdown. People trust each other and have confidence in government. Maybe this was crucial thing in this situation. The other countries in this ranking was merely in north Europe (9 out of 10). Afganistan found the least happy country in the whole world, with Zimbabwe and Rwanda just above the South Asian nation. It shows that in the north of europe people are happier than somewhere.

 I've read an article in Independent by Louise Hall called " 'A little bit of normalcy’: Chicago River dyed green after mayor reverses St Patrick’s Day decision". It was about a celebration of St Patrick’s Day. In 2020 all forms of celebration St Patrick's Day was canceled because of Covid-19 pandemic. In this year it was supposed to be the same. Altough, a few days before this day mayor Lori Lightfoot made a decision to continue the tradition despite of Covid. Finnaly the Chicago River was dyed green. The event was not published before "to minimise crowds and avoid congregating".  In my opinion mayor made good decision. It was a piece of normal during the Covid-19 pandemic. It wasn't as dangerous and i think that people, who are live there was very happy about this.

 I've read an article in Independent by Ian Hamilton called "It’s not just a bad hangover – this is how alcohol affects the environment.". It was merely about impact alcohol to enviroment. It shows that a lot of water is used to produce alcohol: " (...) one 500ml bottle of beer uses 148 litres of water – and a single 125ml glass of wine, 110 litres". And it also shows that now there is a situation, where alcohol production is more important than the food production. In my opinion it's unacceptable, that something like this has happend. Many people on the world need food to survive and by alcohol production it is taken away from them. Food production should be on the first place in every country. The alcohol production should be possible only if there is enough food. Alcohol is not need in our life and we should focus on important things. Drinking alcohol is only a pleasure.
