Green Swedes Sample

Living for the future

Sweden ranks first in the EU in consumption of organic foods, leads the way in recycling drinks cans and bottles, and gets the highest share of its energy from renewable sources. What’s more, Swedish fashion retailer H&M is a world leader in using organic cotton and the Government has allocated SEK 400 million for research and development of environment technology.

Green Swedes

In Europe, where the organic food market is growing by 5-7 per cent a year, Sweden ranks at the top of the green shoppers list. A study by the European Commission found that 40 per cent of Swedes had purchased an eco-labeled item in the past month, which is more often than the European average.

In recent years, more stores with organic apparel have opened while established brands have started to use organic fabrics in their collections. According to the organization Textile Exchange, H&M is the world’s largest user of organic cotton.

Vintage fashion

The secondhand clothing market, both in stores and online, is also growing. Vintage fashion is so popular that even established chains are selling second-hand items. Swedish clothing company Weekday sells vintage pieces alongside new apparel, as does fashion store Grandpa. Sweden’s first and only vintage clothing fair, Vintagemässan, started in Stockholm in 2008, and now attracts more than 6,000 people every year.

Recycling leader

Swedes are conscientious about recycling beverage containers. The target of including 90 per cent of all aluminum cans and PET bottles in the recycling system is close to being reached, today hitting about 85 per cent.

According to recent statistics from Swedish recycling company Returpack, Swedes returned an average of 180 cans and bottles per person for deposit. In recent years, Returpack has introduced a number of measures to get people to recycle more, including doubling the deposit on containers and innovative advertising campaigns, such as Pantamera

One's Recent Choice in 2018

David Goodall recently celebrated his 104th birthday on April 4th. As he blew out the candles on his cake, the elderly man had only one wish: to die

“I greatly regret having reached that age. I would much prefer to be 20 or 30 years younger,” Goodall — who is not ill — told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. “No, I’m not happy. I want to die… One lives some decades and then one dies. It’s not sad. What is sad is if one is prevented.”

Goodall, a botanist and ecologist who is considered the country’s oldest scientist, left to fly to Basel, Switzerland — by way of Bordeaux, France — on Wednesday, according to Australia’s 9 News. There, he will participate in the Life Circle service — in which he will consume a mixture of euthanasia drugs and die, according to both a GoFundMe page started for the man and Australian Broadcasting Corp’s Radio National Breakfast

“Once one is past the stage of middle life, one has paid back to society the debts that have been paid out,” he continued to Australian Broadcasting Corp. “One should be free to use the rest of his life as one chooses. If one chooses to kill oneself then that’s fair enough. I don’t think anyone else should interfere.”

Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are illegal in Australia — like most countries — and although Switzerland has not passed legislation to legalize assisted suicide, the practice is allowed in some circumstances, according to the Chicago Tribune. Goodall is traveling the thousands of miles to the country with the help of Exit International, a pro-euthanasia organization founded by Dr. Philip Nitschke, according to the organization’s website.

Nitschke and others are supporting Goodall through the process, Australian Broadcasting Corp said. According to Australian Broadcasting Corp, Goodall has tried to kill himself at least once in the last 12 months

Nitschke said in the radio interview that Goodall’s family respects the man’s decision.

According to 9 News, before his departure from the Perth Airport on Wednesday, Goodall — accompanied by friend Carol O’Neil — was seen wearing a shirt that read “Ageing Disgracefully.”

Dying Process

Dying In peace

Professor David Goodall travelled to the Life Circle/ Eternal Spirit Foundation in Basel, Switzerland this morning for his final appointment.

David was accompanied at the appointment by his grandchildren and Eternal Spirit staff.

As he elected to receive a lethal injection, Dr Christian Weber administer a cannula to David’s arm. David turned the wheel to allow the solution to flow.

David fell asleep within a few minutes and died a short time afterwards at around 12.30pm.

Dr Philip Nitschke was present at David’s death and was proud to have been appointed ‘music director’.

David’s chosen music was the Ode to Joy of Beethoven’s 9th symphony. According to Dr Nitschke, David died at the

Philipp Nitschke, director of Exit International, said Goodall was declared dead at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Goodall had traveled to Switzerland to take advantage of the country’s assisted-suicide laws.

The British-born scientist, described by Exit International as its first member, said this week that he had been contemplating the idea of suicide for about 20 years, but only started thinking about it for himself after his quality of life deteriorated over the last year.

He cited a lack of mobility, doctor’s restrictions and an Australian law prohibiting him from taking his own life among his complaints, but he was not ill.

Ebola 2018+

Ebola was in Europe once in a while but mostly in Africa. It is happening now again in Congo (aka Zaire) about few weeks ago. Lets see it from CDC

History of Ebola Virus Disease

Emergence of Ebola in Humans

Ebola virus disease (EVD), one of the deadliest viral diseases, was discovered in 1976 when two consecutive outbreaks of fatal hemorrhagic fever occurred in different parts of Central Africa. The first outbreak occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) in a village near the Ebola River, which gave the virus its name. The second outbreak occurred in what is now South Sudan, approximately 500 miles (850 km) away

Initially, public health officials assumed these outbreaks were a single event associated with an infected person who traveled between the two locations. However, scientists later discovered that the two outbreaks were caused by two genetically distinct viruses: Zaire ebolavirus and Sudan ebolavirus. After this discovery, scientists concluded that the virus came from two different sources and spread independently to people in each of the affected areas

Viral and epidemiologic data suggest that Ebola virus existed long before these recorded outbreaks occurred.  Factors like population growth, encroachment into forested areas, and direct interaction with wildlife (such as bushmeat consumption) may have contributed to the spread of the Ebola virus

Identifying a Host

Following the discovery of the virus, scientists studied thousands of animals, insects, and plants in search of its source (called reservoir among virologists, people who study viruses). Gorillas, chimpanzees, and other mammals may be implicated when the first cases of an EVD outbreak in people occur. However, they – like people – are “dead-end” hosts, meaning the organism dies following the infection and does not survive and spread the virus to other animals. Like other viruses of its kind, it is possible that the reservoir host animal of Ebola virus does not experience acute illness despite the virus being present in its organs, tissues, and blood. Thus, the virus is likely maintained in the environment by spreading from host to host or through intermediate hosts or vectors

African fruit bats are likely involved in the spread of Ebola virus and may even be the source animal (reservoir host). Scientists continue to search for conclusive evidence of the bat’s role in transmission of Ebola

History of Ebola Outbreaks

Since its discovery in 1976, the majority of cases and outbreaks of Ebola Virus Disease have occurred in Africa. The 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa began in a rural setting of southeastern Guinea, spread to urban areas and across borders within weeks, and became a global epidemic within months.

Understanding Pathways of Transmission

The use of contaminated needles and syringes during the earliest outbreaks enabled transmission and amplification of Ebola virus. During the first outbreak in Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo – DRC), nurses in the Yambuku mission hospital reportedly used five syringes for 300 to 600 patients a day. Close contact with infected blood, reuse of contaminated needles, and improper nursing techniques were the source for much of the human-to-human transmission during early Ebola outbreaks.2

In 1989, Reston ebolavirus was discovered in research monkeys imported from the Philippines into the U.S. Later, scientists confirmed that the virus spread throughout the monkey population through droplets in the air (aerosolized transmission) in the facility. However, such airborne transmission is not proven to be a significant factor in human outbreaks of Ebola. The discovery of the Reston virus in these monkeys from the Philippines revealed that Ebola was no longer confined to African settings, but was present in Asia as well.

By the 1994 Cote d’Ivoire outbreak, scientists and public health officials had a better understanding of how Ebola virus spreads and progress was made to reduce transmission through the use of face masks, gloves and gowns for healthcare personnel. In addition, the use of disposable equipment, such as needles, was introduced.

During the 1995 Kikwit, Zaire (now DRC) outbreak, the international public health community played a strong role, as it was now widely agreed that containment and control of Ebola virus were paramount in ending outbreaks. The local community was educated on how the disease spreads; the hospital was properly staffed and stocked with necessary equipment; and healthcare personnel was trained on disease reporting, patient case identification, and methods for reducing transmission in the healthcare setting

In the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, healthcare workers represented only 3.9% of all confirmed and probable cases of EVD in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea combined.5  In comparison, healthcare workers accounted for 25% of all infections during the 1995 outbreak in Kikwit.6 During the 2014-2015 West Africa outbreak, the majority of transmission events were between family members (74%). Direct contact with the bodies of those who died from EVD proved to be one of the most dangerous – and effective – methods of transmission. Changes in behaviors related to mourning and burial, along with the adoption of safe burial practices, were critical in controlling that epidemic
