HAPPY EARTH DAY AND EARTH WEEK!!!

This is my favorite holiday out of all holidays! Happy Earth day mother Earth!
If I could hug you a zillion times, I would!






Folks, this is the first earth day of the new decade and mother earth currently has everyone in daze. The world is currently in a pandemic and it's not for naught!

This Earth Day, let's take a look at some of the positives that resulted from the current coronavirus pandemic:
1.) The Himalayas can now be seen at a 200km distance for the first time in 30 years due to the lockdown in India.
2.) Air quality is much better in many highly polluted cities such as NYC, Mumbai, Los Angeles, London, Delhi, Rome, Milan, Seoul and Sao Paulo.
3.) The amount of soot in China has dropped 54%.
4.) The amount of nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere has declined significantly.
We can see a pictorial view of the amount of nitrogen dioxide that was present in the states in 2019 compared to 2020.







5.) Life has slowed down --The daily hustle and bustle of life has slowed down. people have more time and less workplace related stress and health conditions.
6.) Coronavirus is a zoonotic disease that attacks the lungs. Better air quality in cities that were once considered to be polluted is a wonderful benefit for people with respiratory conditions.
7.) Traffic has plummeted due to less automobiles being on the the road. No trains, no buses, no planes, no ships are polluting the air.
8) People are realizing that they can lessen their carbon footprint by cutting out meat or beef! Have you signed up for BAMFEI yet?
9) More of our animals friends can roam free! China has banned their wild meat market due to the coronavirus spread.
Mother Earth simply needed a break and she forced her way into achieving it. Before the pandemic, people were contributing greatly to the decline of the environment.
The pandemic is a sort of wake up call to many. It's a wake up call to understand that you play a key role in keeping this wonderful earth in good health now and for the years to come.
Be more responsible. Be more earth conscious. Listen to mother earth when she speaks.
Take the initiative today and for the rest of the year to get involved in an earth centric activity. Sign up for BAMFEI if you haven't already

Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his fo...
