Health

Minimizing microplastic exposure is a proactive step for better health and environmental care. Here are some effective strategies, I would at least consider: Guess I should Drink Filtered Water: Use water filters that can remove microplastics, such as reverse osmosis systems or activated carbon filters. Avoid Bottled Water: Opt for tap water or filtered water in reusable glass or stainless steel bottles instead of plastic bottles. Choose Natural Fabrics: Wear clothes made from natural fibers like cotton or wool instead of synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, which shed microplastics during washing. Use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: Avoid products with microbeads, such as certain exfoliating scrubs or toothpaste. Switch to Glass or Metal Containers: Store food in glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic ones. Cook with Non-Plastic Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or metal utensils and cookware instead of plastic. Reduce Plastic Use: Limit single-use plastics like straws, bags, and packaging. Improve Laundry Practices: Use a microplastic-catching filter or laundry ball to reduce microplastic shedding from synthetic clothes. Dust and Vacuum Regularly: Microplastics can accumulate in household dust, so keeping your home clean helps reduce exposure. Avoid Heating Plastic: Do not microwave food in plastic containers, as heat can release harmful chemicals. These steps can significantly reduce your exposure to microplastics while also contributing to a healthier planet. 🌿✨

Stupid

Smart children cannot stop asking why. Some adults, according to their own education and childhood, might become very angry and answer in short: Could you please stop asking stupid questions? Are there any stupid questions anyway? Well, after teaching high school kids and young adults for over 35 years, I must admit, there are some stupid questions. However, blocking smart children from asking their questions is not a very good idea at all. Because they will always try to find an answer how the world is working, or, in the words of the German Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang Goethe: Was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält. So, why is a very smart question, and telling kids to shut up might be necessary from time to time to protect yourself while working, however, telling them why you are not able to answer their question at a certain moment which is now for them, is always a good idea. AND TODAY YOU MIGHT WISH TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE HYPE ON LONGEVITY AND THE BLUE ZONES, AND WHY THE BRAIN IS AN ORGAN.

Education

Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. Once a teacher, always a teacher … The problem obviously is, you cannot stop curiosity! But you can stop educating or even teach people. Some people love teachers, but most people hate teachers! Why? The Mother of all questions … Why do you ask? Wisdom | Credit phb

Alfie

Credit phb In a dense forest where the sun's rays played hide-and-seek with the trees, lived a curious young squirrel named Alfie. Alfie loved to explore and ask questions about everything he noticed.   One day, Alfie found a strange, flat rock covered in odd shapes. The shapes looked like wiggly lines, circles, and other strange marks. He had seen these before on the signs the humans left in the forest, but he never knew what they meant.   Alfie decided to ask his friend, Bella Block the wise old owl, who lived in the ancient oak tree. Retired, but not tired. Bella was known to have answers to the most puzzling questions young squirrels might ask.   "Hello, Bella," Alfie chirped as he scampered up the tree. "I found this rock with funny marks on it. Do you know what they are?"   Bella turned her head slowly and peered at the rock with her large, knowing eyes. "Ah, Alfie, those are letters and numbers. Humans use them to communicate and count things. They are part of something called the alphabet and numbers."   Alfie tilted his head. "Alphabet? Numbers? What do they do?"   Bella hooted softly. "The alphabet is a set of letters from A to Z. They form words that humans use to speak to each other. And numbers, like from 0 to 100, help them count…

About my background as a High School Teacher in Germany, Namibia and Australia. My name is Peter H Bloecker, StD i.R. I am hosting the Business German Podcast, which focuses on teaching authentic German for professional settings. My aim is to help learners navigate the German language and culture from an intercultural perspective with a FOCUS on The Intercultural Gaps. From 1998 to 2005, I worked and served as the German language adviser at the Goethe-Institut Australia, contributing to the promotion of German language and culture in Queensland and in Australia. My office was at the LOTE Centre, Westend, in those days next to the School of Distance Education, now sold and demolished. Now fully retired, I live with my wife Maria Ines at the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. A tree is a tree and has a soul ... More promotion will come here soon, once my free Podcast has hit the target line at Spotify and some other channels. Author & Blogger Peter Hanns Bloecker Linked About us Profile

Wenn Trump bluehende Landschaften in Gaza verspricht wie Kohl damals in der DDR, ist das kein Scherz: Es ist schlicht der Gedanke eines Real Estate Moguls aus dem Trump Tower in NYCity. Why not, fragt sich augenwischend der Deutsche Michel (Taugenichts)? Habe ich hier was verschlafen? Nichts ist unmoeglich, sagte uns eins Obama, just follow the AD. Was Trump mit Musk offenbar verstanden hat, oder irre ich mich da? Kein Stein auf dem anderen ist Gaza! Wer soll da jetzt wohnen, ohne das Drama noch einmal zu wiederholen?
