Plastic bag ban
Thin plastic bags are commonly available at retail stores. Many stores make them available for free. These bags have a number of problems though: In many cases, they are only used once. Like other plastic, they take a long time to decay. In the 21st century there have been ideas to replace these bags with other bags, or to make a tax apply to these bags. This is known as plastic bag ban, or plastic bag charge. These bags are commonly made of low-density polyethylene. For a long time, they were considered an easy way for transporting goods, both cheap, and hygienic. The problems that are associated with these bags are that non-renewable resources (such as crude oil, gas and coal) are used to produce them. Disposing them is also problematic, very often they are simply thown away. Shops have started introducing reusable shopping bags.
Different governments have banned the sale of these bags, or they put a tax on their sale. Bangladesh was the first country to do this, in 2002; it banned these bags completely. Between 2010 and 2019, the number of public policies intended to phase out plastic carryout bags tripled. As of 2022, bans have been introduced in 99 countries and 32 countries have introduced a charge per bag.
Plastic bags cause many ecological and environmental problems. The most general issue with plastic bags is the amount of waste produced. Many plastic bags end up on streets and pollute major water sources, rivers, and streams.
Even when they are disposed properly, they take many years to decompose. This generates a lot of garbage. In many cases, they are simply thrown away. This will pollute waterways. Thin plastic bags are in the oceans, where they affect the ecosystem of marine creatures. Several microbial species colonize on plastic particles making them more harmful. Plastic particles driven by winds form garbage patches in the oceans. The UN estimates that there will be more plastics than fish in the oceans by 2050 unless countries come up with urgent measures to promote efficient production, use and waste management of plastics throughout their life cycles.
Plastic bags contribute to global warming. When they are exposed to the sun, they release two greenhouse gases, methane and ethylene. Because they are thin, they break down more easily than other forms of plastics. At the end of a 212-day trial, emissions have been recorded at 5.8 nmol g-1 d-1 of methane, 14.5 nmol g-1 d-1 of ethylene, 3.9 nmol g-1 d-1 of ethane and 9.7 nmol g-1 d-1 of propylene.
The bags cause direct harm to wildlife. Animals may be caught in the debris. As they cannot get away, they may either starve, or drown, when the debris is washed into the sea. Many animals cannot distinguish the small plastic pieces from food, and eat them. The debris then clog the animals' intestines, and may lead to the animal slowly starving. Plastic bags can block drains, trap birds and kill livestock. The World Wide Fund for Nature has estimated that over 100,000 whales, seals, and turtles die every year as a result of eating or being trapped by plastic bags. It is very common across Africa to have sewers and drain systems clogged by bags which cause malaria due to the increased population of mosquitoes that live on the flooded sewers. The term "white pollution" has been coined in China to describe the local and global effects of discarded plastic bags upon the environment.
Lightweight plastic bags break down by polymer degradation. Any toxic additives they contain will be released into the environment. Many of those toxins directly affect the endocrine systems of organisms, which control almost every cell in the body. Research shows the average operating "lifespan" of a plastic bag to be approximately 20 years.
Plastic bags dumped in the Pacific Ocean can end up in the Great Pacific garbage patch. 80% of the plastic waste comes from land; the rest comes from oil platforms and ships. This can be eaten by marine animals, and block their breathing passages and digestive systems. Plastic bags not only add to the Great Pacific garbage patch, they can be washed ashore around the world.
The two most popular methods of phasing out lightweight plastic bags are charges and bans. The charge strategy has the same results as a plastic bag ban; it also has benefit of creating a new revenue source. The plastic bag charge method also protects consumer choice, which the ban does not.
Plastic bags can also be recycled. The problem with recycling is that as of 2023, only 5% of plastic bags make it to recycling facilities. Even when bags are brought to recycling facilities, they often fly out of the bins or recycling trucks and end up as litter on the streets. Different bags are made from different yet similar types of plastics. Recycling facilities can often only recycle one kind of bag. Recycling different types will make recycling more expensive.
Plastic bag bans have also been criticised. Such bans can lead to larger black markets in plastic bags. Studies show that plastic bag bans can shift people away from using thin plastic bags, but it can also increase the use of unregulated single use paper bags or unregulated thicker plastic bags in areas where these are provided for free. The bans can also lead to more trash bags being sold, because people can no longer reuse their old grocery bags for things like lining small trash cans..
Sometimes, the production of non-plastic bags can emit more greenhouse gases, than plastic bags. Some alternatives to plastic bags would need to be reused over a hundred times to make them more environmentally friendly than plastic bags. They are also viewed as less sanitary than plastic because they can bring germs from outside the store to high contact volume surfaces like carts and check out stands.

Animal language
Certain animals use complex patterns to communicate with each other. These patterns have been called animal language. In many ways, they are similar to human language. That way, animal can use signing, or sounds. Sometimes, they use chemical compounds.
Animal language has many of the same properties as human language:

These bags can be made of paper, of different kinds of plastics or of a natural fiber, such as jute or hemp.
Because plastic bags take a long time to decay, some countries have banned single-use plastic bags.

Normative ethics
Normative ethics is a branch of ethics, that looks to establish norms of how people ought to behave, and act in certain situations. It also looks at how norms and values are formed in a society. It looks at what is good, and right in a moral sense.
Philiospohers such as Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas looked at the question what virtue really is; from this a branch called virtue ethics develped.
People like Immanuel Kant, with his categorical imperative, John Rawls with his contractualism, or John Locke with his theory of natural rights are seen as advocating deontological ethics today.
Utilitarianism says that an action is right, if it makes more people happy.
These are common branches of normative ethics.

Edwin Chadwick
He was born on 24 January 1800 in Longsight, Manchester and moved to London when he was 10. He was a member of the Royal Commission into the Operation of the Poor Laws 1832.
After a serious outbreak of typhus in 1838, he convinced the Poor Law Board that an enquiry was required. The work was done by his friends who were doctors and he published it as "Report on The Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great Britain" in 1842. A lot of people bought it. It said that better water supplies and a drainage system to remove waste, would stop so many people dying. Evidence given by Dr Dyce Guthrie convinced Chadwick that every house should have a permanent water supply, rather than the intermittent supplies from standpipes that many poor people had to use. The report led to the Public Health Act 1848, which was the first time the British government took responsibility for the health of its citizens.
Public Health Act 1848
The Public Health Act 1848 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was the first time the government had tried to improve the health of the people. Edwin Chadwick had pushed for it after his reports on the condition of the working classes. It did not cover the City of London and some other parts of London.
It put the supply of water; sewerage; drainage; cleansing; paving, and environmental health regulation in England and Wales under a single local body. The General Board of Health was in charge, and local boards of health could be set up, either by local people or by the General Board. The General Board did not have money. The local boards could get money from rates. Sunderland was one of the first places to set up a local board.
The Free Energy Principle is a scientific concept that explains how living things interact with their environment. It says our brains try to avoid surprises and stay in control. Our brains make predictions about what will happen based on past experiences. When reality matches our predictions, everything is fine, but when something unexpected occurs, our brains need to update their predictions and take action to reduce the surprise. To do this, our brains gather information from our senses and compare it to their predictions. If there's a difference, the brain sends signals to our body to make adjustments. This helps us stay to adapt to new situations, learn from experiences, and optimize their interactions with the world.
One of his first jobs was to to survey the route of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
By 1850 he had been involved in building a third of the country's railway system. He designed the High Level Bridge and Royal Border Bridge on the East Coast Main Line. With Eaton Hodgkinson and William Fairbairn he developed wrought-iron tubular bridges, such as the Britannia Bridge in Wales, a design he would later use for the Victoria Bridge in Montreal, for many years the longest bridge in the world. He eventually worked on 160 commissions from 60 companies, building railways in other countries such as Belgium, Norway, Egypt and France.
Liverpool and Manchester Railway
The Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the first inter-city railway in the world. It opened on 15 September 1830 between the Lancashire cities of Liverpool and Manchester. It was also the first railway to only have locomotives driven by steam power, with no horse-drawn traffic permitted at any time; the first to be entirely double track; the first to have a true signalling system; the first to be fully timetabled; and the first to carry mail.
It was designed and built by George Stephenson. It made money, and influenced the development of railways across Britain in the 1830s.
He was born in Kita, Tokyo, Japan and grew up in Mukden (Shenyang), Manchuria. He studied at Seijo High School before returning to Manchuria. Abe later studied medicine at the Tokyo Imperial University (University of Tokyo). There, he began writing novellas and short stories.
Abe's first internationally known work was "The Woman in the Dunes." This was a novel he published in 1962. The novel won the Yomiuri Prize that same year. A movie based on the novel by Hiroshi Teshigahara was made in 1964.
His next award-winning work was "Friends." This was a play published in 1967. It won the Tanizaki Prize the same year.
Abe died on January 22, 1993 due to heart failure in Tokyo after a short illness.

Font del gat (water trough)
It is a very significant fountain of the city, since the main use was as a water trough for the horses of the carriages that entered to Barcelona through the Portal Nou.
Until the beginning of the last century, the water came out of a cat's head, which is why it was called Font del Gat, to distinguish it from the one on the other side of the square (more modern Canaletes style ). Unfortunately this original fountain disappeared when the council demolished the house in 1996 to build social housings. In the place where the fountain was, they left an Office of La Caixa d'Estalvis. After a while, when the residents claimed it, the city council made a replica (with three fountains as seen in the photo), since they could not find the stones of the original fountain.

Resistentialism
Resistentialism is a joke theory about objects intentionally being mean to humans. Objects like lost keys, broken printers, or bouncing balls are said to dislike us.

Oil shale is a sedimentary rock which can be squeezed to get oil out if it. The part which has oil in it is called kerogen. There's a great deal of it, and the oil is said to be "oil in place". It is planned as a source of oil after regular oil wells dry up.
So far only Estonia and China have got big oil shale industries, but other countries plan to develop it. The forests of ferns and trees which originally made the oil were very widespread on Earth, so in theory many other countries have oil-bearing land.
Alternatively, there are people who believe that hydrocarbons are not biogenic. They think hydrocarbons were formed in space and delivered to planets like Earth ready-formed. Although this might seem far-fetched, it has been suggested by some notable scientists, such as Thomas Gold.

His efforts failed because of the demands of the ongoing Vietnam War.
