US makes official return to Paris climate pact 21.02.21

 Last Friday the USA returned to the Paris climate agreement. That happened 107 days after the USA left and almost one month after Joe Biden said that he wants to rejoin the pact. World leaders expect the US to prove its seriousness after more than four years of being almost absent. The USA's goal is to cut emissions of heat-trapping gases by 2030. Biden said that the US would return to providing climate aid to poorer countries.

I think it's such a good information. US's re-entry is very important because they have huge impact and they can do a lot for the environment. They can show their power again especially after four years of Trump's presidency and being absent for so long. I hope the USA will be an example for other countries to follow and they will achieve their goals to make the world better. We are all aware that we have so little to time to rescue the planet and stop the devastating climate changes. People have to go into action and take care of the environment because this is the only way to save what we have been given by the nature.

    Absolutely! Let's just hope it's not too late. We've carelessly wasted the last forty years in this respect.

My reflection 01.11.21

 A few days ago while I was on my way to school I listened to a very interesting radio broadcast. It was about a new law which the European Union wants to bring into existence. The UE wants to ban short-distance flights. By that they mean flights of less than 500 kilometres. The exception are the distances that cannot be covered by any other means of transport in less than 2.5 hours.  In my opinion that's a good idea because thanks to that we can cut back on  carbon dioxide emission  significantly. However  I don't think that it would work in Poland correctly as we don't have a rail network designed for high speeds. So, for example it would be impossible to travel from Warsaw to Szczecin by train in less than 2.5 hours. Of course in other countries  that have better developed infrastructure bringing this idea into force would be great and maybe it could help save the environment even in a modest way.

Reasons of emigration

Migration has existed since forever. Everything started when tribes searched for new places for hunting, fishery and their livestock. They also migrated  in search of more fertile lands and to create new settlements. But time has changed, the world got more developed and at the same time more complicated. People emigrate for many more reasons than a few centuries ago. The most important and common one is that they are looking for better opportunities. Many people move to bigger cities because they know that there are more workplaces. the second motive is to escape conflict zones. People leave their homeland because they don't feel safe there and they want to escape danger. Another reason is to escape poverty and find higher standards of living. Emigrants try to earn more money abroad and live in better conditions than before. Some people change their place just for fun. They are young and free, they don't have any purpose in life yet so they are looking for some experience and...

Ellis Island

Ellis Island is an island on Huston River between New York and New Jersey. This place took a huge part in history of NYC. It was opened in 1892 as an immigration station. It served for about 60 years and was officially closed in 1954.  In XIX century a lot of Europeans decided to move to America to find better life conditions. They all hoped for better life in the New World. Most of them came to New York because it was the closest American city to Europe. Also there is a huge harbor so they could get there in easier way than for example to Los Angeles.  The statistics show that  about 40 percent of all current U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island. For millions of immigrants, Ellis Island  was the first place they set foot on after a long journey by ship from Europe. In XIX century the average daily number of immigrants who arrived there is 1,900.  After their arrival they had to stand in long lines ...
