What does the Amazon rainforest deforestation has to do with bushfires in Australia?

As we all know, there have been fires across several states in Australia. Hundreds of hectares were burned, more than 600 homes were destroyed, many of our wildlife is dying. Scientists say the fire conditions this year are without parallel. Over the past 50 years, 2019 is the third worse ever bushfire record. The others were in 1974 and 1984. And a fact that may be contributing to it is lack of rain. Rainfall between January and August 2019 was the lowest on record in some areas of the country, which includes parts of New South Wales and Queensland. These extreme events in Australia may not be a mere coincidence with the severe loss of tropical rainforests, which includes the Amazon forest in South America.

Children in nature #2

According to Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, a US bestseller book, there are many children in the world suffering from what he has called Nature-Deficit Disorder. In the modern world, many boys and girls are being raised inside boxes, away from plants, streams, rain, trees, flowers, wild animals and the songs of birds. Jane Clark, professor of kinesiology at the University of Maryland, use the term “containerized kids" to define those who spend more time in car seats, high chairs, coaches and even baby seats watching TV, than in nature itself. And even when children go out into nature, they are often inside strollers being pushed by walking or jogging parents. “Most kid-containerizing is done for safety concerns, but the long-term health of these children is compromised”, Louv explains. If we want heathier and happier children in the world, here is a simple solution: just take them to nature, go hug a tree with them! :)

Please, visit our website and take a look at Early Childhood Education and Care course. You will be even more inspired to look after the little ones.

How can you deal with the mess in our world without going crazy?

Yeah, we know it. Oceans are acidifying because of our CO2 emissions and this has contributed to the Amazon rainforest being destroyed rapidly! There was a 278% increase in deforestation from July last year to July this year, followed by criminal fires in October, an explosion out of control and hundreds of species becoming extinct daily around the world! If we continue to consume plastic the way we do, there will be more plastic than marine life in the oceans by 2050 – that’s just 30 years. As Australia's vehicle emissions rise, so does the deforestation rates. What do you feel or think when you read this? Not easy, hey? So, please, take a look at our blog post, you will certainly feel so much better about your power to change the world for the better!

We've selected inspiring movies that will help you start 2020 with more inspiration and energy. Inspiration is fundamental to life, especially in times of end of cycles and the beginning of new ones.

So, let's start with 3 movies (soon we will publish a more complete list on our blog, be in tune):

1. The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain - because it's essential to bring magic to little things. We tend to miss them so much. The more we value and put beauty into all we live, feel and do, certainly happier we will become.

2. Captain Fantastic - it brings a whole new way of living and exploring the world. It is revolutionary in political, sustainable, parenting and even romantic relationship terms. If you weren't born to put yourself inside of a box, this is a movie for you!

3. Dead Poets Society - it’s a great American movie from the 80's and if you haven't watched it yet, you definitely should. It is about the spirit of poetry and the incredible relationship between one teacher and his students, all boys. Be aware of the sentences they bring up into this movie - they may have the power to shake your life and to definitely inspire your 2020.

Tell us if you watched it! How did you feel about them? How did they touch you? Here, we absolutely love them.

Italy has shown a great example to the world: it has become the first country to decide to implement classes on climate change in all its public schools at least for one-hour weekly. Also, teachings of geography, maths and physics will be connected to sustainability. "The entire ministry is being transformed to make climate and sustainability the centre of the Italian education model,” says Lorenzo Fioramonti, the country's education minister. This is certainly an example to be followed by other countries around the world. New generations need to be prepared for years to come. Applauses to Italy! 👏👏👏
