Join in Earth Day Celebrations on 22 April

Earth Day is officially celebrated throughout the world on 22 April each year, with some large-scale or multi-day events often being organized over the weekend either before or after 22 April. A number of communities incorporate Earth Day into either an Earth Week, or an Earth Month, with a series of activities promoting environmental awareness taking place over this period.

How to Travel Cattle Class in Comfort

The term ‘economy’ is at least true when it is a matter of relative price, but the euphemism ‘coach’ is positively misleading. You are fortunate if you have never had occasion to travel in the rear section of a commercial jet, especially if a long journey over oceans and across continents was involved. I wish animal activists would extend their concerns and pressures to humans, because I have seen thoroughbreds of the wealthy travel between race tracks in greater comfort than my ruthless employers have me do every month in search of my bread!
