Greenpeace Versus Apple

Posted on by

Have you read this very interesting article about Greenpeace at MacExpo London? The lady in the picture actually gave me a brochure and an apple, I had no clue she was from Greenpeace… She was standing outside the building handing out these things to people who visited MacExpo…

Read this article first at MacWorld: Greenpeace reaction to MacExpo ejection and then have a look at the Greenpeace website here which is cool [design and content-wise] and also a bit shocking to me, a Mac user… It’s good though that they are trying to open eyes because they have got a point here…

You can leave your comment below if you like, I’m curious how you feel about this…

Magic Mushrooms

Posted on by

We went for a long walk at Epping Forest which was so relaxing. I’ve never seen so many fungi in one forest, amazing!!! All the different colors, shapes and sizes. Have a look at my pictures by clicking the link below; it’s the url to my photo galleries. I would love to go again soon when the sun is out again. It was a beautiful sunny day, next weekend we will be down south staying with S. and M. for a bonfire night and a walk too so hopefully I will have more pictures of mushrooms…

Fungi are a special group of living organisms that include yeast, moulds, slime fungi, rusts, bracket as well as the familiar mushroom. There are over 70000 different species worldwide. Epping Forest is home to over 1200 species making it one of the richest fungal sites in the United Kingdom.
The diversity of fungi found in Epping Forest is one of the reasons why so much of the Forest has been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Many creatures feed on the fungi and they are host to some rare invertebrates that are unique to these ancient woodlands. The list of Forest fungi includes some rare species that are specifically protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Currently the Conservators have a deliberate policy of leaving fallen dead wood. Although this may look untidy, the decaying wood is a vital link in the recycling of nutrients through the actions of decomposers, including funghi and invertebrates.
