National Crush Day: A Call to Action to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
On September 27th, we celebrate National Crush Day, a day to raise awareness of the importance of recycling, particularly aluminum cans. But the message of National Crush Day goes beyond just recycling cans. It's a reminder of the importance of the three Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Reduce means to cut back on the amount of waste we produce in the first place. This can be done by making small changes in our daily lives, such as bringing reusable bags when we go shopping, avoiding single-use plastics, and composting food scraps.
Reuse means to find new ways to use items that would otherwise be thrown away. This can be as simple as refilling a water bottle instead of buying a new one, or using old jars and containers to store food or other items.
Recycle means to convert waste materials into new materials and objects. This can be done with a wide range of materials, including paper, plastic, metal, and glass.
Recycling aluminum cans is a great way to reduce our environmental impact. It takes 95% less energy to produce a can from recycled aluminum than from virgin aluminum. And for every 75 aluminum cans that are recycled, enough energy is saved to power a TV for three hours.
But recycling is just one part of the solution to our waste problem. We also need to reduce and reuse whenever possible. By following the three Rs, we can all help to protect our planet and create a more sustainable future.
Here are some small acts that we can all do to save the earth:
Bring reusable bags when we go shopping.
Avoid single-use plastics, such as straws, utensils, and water bottles.
Compost food scraps.
Repair items instead of replacing them.
Donate unwanted clothes and household goods.
Recycle everything that we can.
National Crush Day is a reminder that we all have a role to play in protecting our planet. By reducing, reusing, and recycling, we can help to conserve resources, reduce pollution, and create a more sustainable future.
The climate emergency is real. Climate change is already having a devastating impact on our planet, and the situation is only going to get worse if we don't take action. Reducing, reusing, and recycling are all important ways to reduce our carbon footprint and help to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Saving the earth is not difficult. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily lives can make a big impact when we all work together.
Each and every one of us can make a difference. No one is too small to make a difference. When we all do our part to reduce, reuse, and recycle, we can make a big difference for our planet.
Every little bit helps. By working together, we can make a big difference.

Apple on Climate Change.
I think it is a good start, but it is still not enough.
Apple is committed to making its products carbon neutral by 2030. This is a ambitious goal, but it is possible if Apple takes the right steps. The company has already made some progress, such as switching to 100% renewable energy in its offices and data centers. However, it still needs to do more to reduce the carbon footprint of its products.
One of the biggest challenges for Apple is the materials used in its products. Many of these materials, such as cobalt and lithium, are mined in ways that damage the environment. Apple needs to find ways to use these materials more sustainably.
Another challenge is the energy used to power Apple products. When people charge their iPhones and iPads, that energy comes from the grid, which may be powered by fossil fuels. Apple needs to find ways to make its products more energy efficient so that they require less power to charge.
The new Apple video is a step in the right direction, but it is just a start. Apple needs to do more to reduce the carbon footprint of its products if it wants to achieve its goal of being carbon neutral by 2030.
However this video is a bit too self-congratulatory and does not address the real challenges that Apple faces in making its products sustainable. However, I think it is important to acknowledge Apple's efforts, even if they are not perfect. Every little bit helps, and Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world, so its actions can have a significant impact.

Twitter VS Meta Threads
Twitter news:
Elon Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, sent a cease and desist letter to Mark Zuckerberg over the launch of Threads, a new app from Meta that is similar to Twitter. Spiro accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who had access to Twitter's trade secrets and other confidential information. He also accused Meta of scraping Twitter's data.
Meta has denied the allegations, saying that none of the former Twitter employees it hired were under non-compete agreements and that it did not scrape Twitter's data.
Here's my argument.
It is not clear that Zuckerberg did anything wrong. Meta has denied all of the allegations, and there is no evidence to suggest that they have violated any laws or regulations.
However, I can understand why Musk's lawyer would be upset. Meta's Threads app is very similar to Twitter, and it is possible that Meta did use some of Twitter's trade secrets or data in the development of the app. Even if Meta did not break any laws, it could still be considered unethical to use a competitor's confidential information to develop a competing product.
Ultimately, it is up to the courts to decide whether Meta has done anything wrong. However, the letter from Musk's lawyer has certainly raised some interesting questions about the ethics of competition in the tech industry.
Here are some of the arguments that could be made in favor of Zuckerberg's actions:
1. Meta is a publicly traded company, and it has a responsibility to its shareholders to make money. If Meta can create a successful app that competes with Twitter, it will make more money for its shareholders.
2. Twitter is a public company, and its shareholders have a right to compete with Twitter. If Meta can create a better product than Twitter, it will benefit consumers.
Here are some of the arguments that could be made against Zuckerberg's actions:
1. Meta may have violated Twitter's trade secrets or data. This would be unethical and could potentially lead to legal action.
2. Meta's Threads app is a copycat of Twitter. This could be seen as unfair competition, and it could hurt Twitter's business.
It is important to note that these are just arguments, and there is no clear consensus on whether Zuckerberg did anything wrong. The courts will ultimately decide whether Meta has violated any laws or regulations.

Independence Day.
Today, June 12, 2023, marks the 125th anniversary of the declaration of Philippine independence from Spain. This is a significant day for the Philippines, as it celebrates its hard-won freedom from colonial rule.
The Philippines was colonized by Spain for over 300 years. During this time, the Spanish imposed their language, religion, and culture on the Filipino people. The Filipinos eventually rose up against Spanish rule, and on June 12, 1898, Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine independence.
However, the Philippines did not gain full independence until 1946, when it was granted independence from the United States. Since then, the Philippines has been a sovereign nation, and its people have worked hard to build a strong and prosperous country.
Today, the Philippines is a vibrant and diverse nation with a rich culture and history. It is a popular tourist destination, and its economy is growing rapidly. The Philippines is a rising star in Asia, and it is poised to play an increasingly important role in the region and the world.
The significance of June 12, 2023, is that it is a day to celebrate the Philippines' hard-won independence and to look forward to a bright future. It is a day to remember the sacrifices of those who fought for freedom and to recommit ourselves to building a better future for all Filipinos.

Yesterday's memories, drifting through my thoughts. #1
When I'm crushing on someone, I become a master of the art of the duck and weave. If I see my crush coming, I'll do anything to avoid eye contact. I'll duck behind a pillar, weave through a crowd, or even pretend to be on the phone. It's gotten to the point where my co-workers have started betting on how long it will take me to see my crush and run away.
I know it's ridiculous, but I can't help it. I just get so shy when I like someone. I'm afraid that if I talk to them, I'll say something stupid and they'll think I'm a loser. So I just avoid them altogether.
I know it's not the healthiest way to deal with my crush I'm a grown-asswoman, but it's the only way I know how. Maybe one day I'll grow out of it, but for now, I'm just going to keep ducking and weaving. 😜🤪

This part hits me the most
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away. And I breathe you into my heart and pray for strength today.
Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right and though I can't be with you tonight you know my heart is by your side.
I don't want to run away but I can't take it. I don't understand. If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

There is no need to unlove a person right away. It's so unreal and won't be an easier path to force yourself into unloving someone. But what we can do is love them from afar. Yes, it's possible. We can still love someone unconditionally from afar. We can still be proud of them...Be happy for all their achievements...Cheering for them...But from Afar. Step back and compose yourself. Don't limit yourself because you can still love them. Love them from AFAR.

Daily Dose of Wisdom
In the end, you realize there are no accidents. When Something bad or painful or hurtful happens to you, it happens for a reason. But we may not be in a state of mind to understand that nobody is punishing us, nobody's harming us or wanting to hurt us. We are doing it to ourselves to learn lessons that's why we are here. We came here, incarnated here, to learn life's lessons and it's a hard school of thought that we decided to come down here and learn and some of us just take a little longer to learn some of these lessons you know, the first time around, we don't get it. We might have to do it 4 or 5 times. Then finally say, why is this happening to me all the time? Well, you're not learning what you're supposed to learn, so get with the chord. It's always introspection and self-examination. Be kind to yourself don't hurt yourself. Be patient, and Be Kind to yourself. It's Ok to make mistakes that's why we are here.

When we stand up for what we believe in—for what’s right—there is always a chance that we risk the very things we fight for: our safety, our lives, and our freedom. But if we stand down, the risk is definite. -

New Year Thoughts 2022-2023
I am genuinely grateful for the experiences, both good and bad, that I had last year. I learned a lot from them, and I will not disregard any of them. Bad things happen, but we can learn from them and move forward. As Rafiki said to Simba in The Lion King, "The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it."
I know that many of us go through life making the same mistakes over and over again. We don't even realize it until the same outcome keeps happening. This is often because we let our past dictate how we live in the present. It is time to start fresh and stop letting our past ruin our future. We have a long road ahead of us, and we don't want to waste it by repeating the same mistakes.
Here are some tips for moving on from your past and creating a better future:
Forgive yourself and others. Holding onto anger and resentment will only hurt you in the long run.
Learn from your mistakes. Don't make the same mistake twice.
Focus on the present. Don't dwell on the past or worry about the future.
Create a vision for your future. What do you want to achieve? What kind of life do you want to live?
Take action. Don't just dream about your future, make it happen.
