Claus Zehner, who manages the Copernicus Sentinel-5P, the satellite which took the photos over the Po Valley region, told the Independent that researchers are confident these changes are due to the reduction of activity at factories and on highways.
“Although there could be slight variations in the data due to cloud cover and changing weather, we are very confident that the reduction in emissions that we can see coincides with the lockdown in Italy causing less traffic and industrial activities,” Zehner said.
The canals in Venice have also been unusually clear as traffic in the waterways has come to a halt. According to a report from the Italian publication TGCOM24, the typically murky waters in the Venice canals have cleared up as everyone has been locked inside.
Images of the current condition of the canals were posted to the Facebook group “Clean Venice”.
The caption for one of the photos read, “Incredible images of the Rio dei Ferali, behind San Marco square, usually cloudy. Nature reclaims its spaces. Less traffic, less discharges.”
One of the members of the group further explained to others that the boats were not kicking up sediment as they would during a normal season.

However, once that happened smoothly, the turtle began passing plastic trash in the stool, nearly a hundred pieces. Sadly, the ocean is filled with toxic waste dumped by human beings. It is most likely that the turtle was swimming in open water and the floating pieces of plastic entered its system. According to scientists, if we don’t reduce the heavy consumption of single-use plastic, we will destroy even more marine lives.
They are trying to advocate a more eco-friendly lifestyle where alternatives for almost every kind of plastic product can be used. For example, one can invest in steel straws instead of plastic straws, carry one’s own cloth bag to the supermarket, refuse the extra plastic packaging in laundry hubs, and avoid using excess tea bags. Even the trending sheet masks and glitter packs can harm the ecosystem of the oceans. Before buying items of daily need, read the packaging carefully. Opt for natural products in shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Instead of hoarding plastic containers that pollute the environment, buy glass utensils that will not affect the environment. Avoid anything with microbeads as they are never bio-degradable.

According to the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, the sea turtle has been given special supplements for her gut mobility and she will soon recover. The center won’t let her go till she has passed all the plastic in her body. If we aren’t careful with our plastic consumption, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050, the scientists predict.

If we’ve learned anything during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, it’s that boredom gives way to creativity. In Cyprus, for example, following a government-mandated lockdown, a man used a drone to walk his dog.
To prevent the spread of the airborne contagion, cities and entire nations have shut down entirely. Schools, gyms, libraries, and businesses have been temporarily closed with the intention of “flatten the curve.”
Responsible Cyprus resident Vakis Demetriou was adhering to the lockdown when he decided to use a drone to walk his dog. USA Today reports that the pup, Oliver, was tethered to a drone that carefully hovered several feet above.
Hilarious footage uploaded to social media shows the white pooch leisurely strolling during the fifth day of quarantine. “Stay home but don’t forget your dog’s happiness,” the video is captioned.

Marijuana shops labeled ‘essential’
Across the country, many establishments such as gyms, bars, restaurants, and theaters have been placed on lockdown.
But in cities including New York, San Francisco, and Palm Springs, legal marijuana dispensaries have been labeled “essential” – meaning they can remain open during coronavirus lockdowns (with certain conditions attached).
In Oregon, average sales have reportedly been as much as 75% higher in terms of the number of people purchasing. The average spend per customer also rose from $32 to $43 (before tax prices).
In Denver, Colorado, the average adult-use cannabis basket price before tax was $58, compared to the previous amount of $45.

So what are the reasons behind the spike in sales?
For some people, marijuana is a vital medical supplement that offers pain relief from a vast array of ailments.
In other cases, recreational users – many now on lockdown and forced to stay in their homes, could simply be looking to top up their supply levels, worried that stock will soon be hard to come by. Rather like the panic buying of toilet paper and other items deemed by the public to be essential.

Women buying more than before
In another interesting statistic, there has been a much larger increase in sales by female customers. Although males have also been purchasing more marijuana products, the female increase has been twice as much.
Previously, Headset reported that cannabis sales to male customers made up roughly two-thirds of all
total sales.
There has also been a large jump in the sales of edible and beverage-based marijuana products.
Marijuana Delivery services thriving
Another notable aspect has been an increase in the number of customers who are ordering marijuana via delivery services. This has even caused some outlets to increase the size of their vehicle delivery fleet.
Delivery service Eaze claimed a home delivery spike of 38% in California, while deliveries to first-time customers reportedly shot up by 50%.
Recreational cannabis use is legal in 11 American states: Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. As well as the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam.
A further 15 states, as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands, have decriminalized marijuana.

Until quite recently , tree hugging had been seen as the domain of the ecologically friendly hippies of the 1960 ’ s and 70 ’ s .

Indeed , there are a growing number of people who are questioning the Western medical establishment and are understanding better the benefits of natural or holistic treatments .

“ When you hug [ a tree ] , you feel it first in your toes and then up your legs and into your chest and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explained forest ranger Þór Þorfinnsson .

The History of Tree Hugging
It wasn’t the hippies who started tree hugging. It actually began as far back as 1730, with a group of around 363 people belonging to the Bishnois branch of Hinduism in India.
When foresters decided to chop down trees to build a palace, the Bishnois protesters tried to stop them by clinging to the trees.
Tragically, they were all killed by the foresters. But their efforts were not in vein as a royal decree was later issued, banning the felling of trees in any Bishnoi village. Resultantly, a wooded oases remains in what is otherwise a desert landscape.

By John Vibes / Truth Theory In a recent video published online , “ Joker ” star Joaquin Phoenix urged New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to release the region ’ s prisoners during the pandemic .
In the video , the actor said , “ The spread of coronavirus in prisons threatens the health and safety of all of us .
When you ’ re incarcerated , there ’ s no such thing as social distancing , and ensuring good hygiene is not an option .
I ’ m calling on Governor Andrew Cuomo to take action in New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prison .
The lives of so many people depend on his action .
No one deserves to die in prison from COVID-19.
” Last month , the Cuomo administration ordered the release of 1,100 low-level parole violators as a pandemic precaution , but inmate advocates have pointed out that this is such a small fraction of the city ’ s nonviolent offenders , and that high prison populations are still creating a dangerous situation for nearby communities .
Experts have argued that prisons can be like “ Petri dishes ” and encourage the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together in such crowded facilities that are typically not kept in the most sanitary conditions .
Prison food is also not very nutritious and has likely left many inmates with weakened immune systems , leaving them even more vulnerable to catching illnesses like the one sweeping across the world .
In fact , the largest cluster of new cases in the US is in Chicago ’ s Cook County Jail , where hundreds of inmates and staff have now tested positive for the virus .

The virus was likely initially brought into the prison by correctional officers and other workers at the facility , or perhaps by friends or family members of inmates before visitation was stopped last month .
