Spring equinox, March 20

The temperature is getting slightly warmer and flowers are beginning to bloom which signals that spring in the Netherlands is fast approaching.

To determine the first day of the season, astronomers look to the skies.

The spring equinox - also known as the vernal equinox or the March equinox - officially marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. After this date, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures. 🌞

3 Million Masks a Minute: The Next Plastic Problem?

Studies estimate worldwide humans are using 129 billion face masks each month, about 3 million a minute. Most masks are disposable, made from plastic microfibers that are not biodegradable and may fragment into smaller plastic particles polluting ecosystems.

Masks are littering cities, clogging sewage channels and turning up in bodies of water, prompting researchers to warn of the potential for masks to become the next “plastic problem.”

MAKE SURE TO REPLACE YOUR DISPOSABLE MASK WITH A REUSABLE COTTON MASK. 😊💚

One of my favorite documentaries: Down to Earth.💚

Leaving behind their cosmopolitan life, a Dutch couple and their three young children embark on the journey of a lifetime. For four years they travel the world to find the “Earth keepers” – elders and leaders in far-flung places who might reveal the secrets of living a “connected life”.

The Earth Keepers have retained a natural balance and live in harmony with all that is. Having lived in hiding for centuries, they see that now is the time to step forward and share their insights and wisdom with those who are ready to listen.

Today 21 december 2020 Jupiter and Saturn will be less than a degree apart in the night sky. The Great Conjunction of 2020 will be visible from across the world.

Saturn and Jupiter appear to pass close to each other, as seen from Earth, every 20 years, and when they do we call it a ‘great conjunction’. The last time Jupiter and Saturn were this close together away from the Sun was in 1226 A.D.

Many mark this very special meeting in the sky as the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️

Maybe "a sprig" won't do this year. I think I'll throw a whole holly tree on the fire this year. 😅
