Smokers to be given free e-cigarettes at A&E

 I've read an article in Independent by Rory Sullivan called "Smokers to be given free e-cigarettes at A&E" . It's about new program, that will be implemented by five UK hospitals. It's purpose is to encourage people to quit smoking.  Smokers, who will attend to the hospital will get a set for free (the reason, why they attend in hospial, doesn't matter). The idea about this method apperad after research, which showed that vaping is the best method to quit smoking. E-ciggarets are healhier than conventional cigarettes. They don't contain tobacco and do not produce carbon monoxide. In my opinion it is a good idea, because smoking it's one of the most widespread habit in the whole world. This idea can help people, but also can help environment. 

World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem

I've read an aricle in BBC called " World's wealthiest 'at heart of climate problem" by Roger Harrabin. It was about problem of carbon emission in the world, but mainly among wealthy people. The raport from the UK-based Cambridge Sustainability Commission on Scaling Behaviour Change says that1% of wealhy people produce two times more carbon than 50% poor people.  It's the global problem. One of solutions by the author is to deter frequent flying and the use of SUVs and to persuade the wealthy to insulate their homes well. He also said, that implementing new "clean" technologies, will be more successful, than implement ing hefty penalties or lifestyle restrictions. Wealthy people have completly different lifestyle, than poorer people. in my opinion it will be hard to change their everyday life, because they are accustomed to a good conditions in everything they have and they do. The problem can be solve only if they want to cooperate with others. In o...

What are the new rules on weddings in England ?

 I've read an article in Independent by Olivia Petter called "What are the new rules on weddings in England from today?" . It's about new rules about weddings implementend by English gouvernment on 29 March. During the lockdown restrictions thee weddimgs in England was limited to exceptional circumstances. It included cases like “an urgent marriage where one of those getting married is seriously ill and not expected to recover, or is to undergo debilitating treatment or life-changing surgery.”  Now every wedding or civil partnership ceremonies can take place without exeptional circumstances. It means that anyone can get married in line with social contact limits. However, receptions are still not permitted. In the next month, when the situation will be better, gouvernment will implement new rules, which will inculde parties in a safe outdoor places.  In my opinion it was a smart decision from English gouvernment. Situation with covid cases is getting better, so why ...

When is Easter 2021 and why does the date change every year?

  I've read an article in Independent by Sabrina Barr called " When is Easter 2021 and why does the date change every year?". It was about what is Easter, how it is celebrate and why the Easter date changes every year. Easter is one from two the most important festival for Christians. It commemorates the Jesus Christus resurrection following the crucifixion. For people, who don't believe in God it's time to meet with family and spent time together.  In this year Easter is on Sunday 4 April. The date, when is Easter, depends on lunisolar calendar. The date of Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox in March.  In my opinion it's interestin, because many people, even when they're Christians, don't know why the Easter date changes every year. Maybe it's because, now the date is automaticly inscribed to the calendar and people don't need why the date changes. They only need the date, because the...
