McCantibiotica

In intensive livestock farming, animals are pumped with antibiotics. This could create resistant bacteria that could cost 10 million people a year's lives by 2050. But if we convince McDonald's to use less antibiotics now, this giant could push the entire industry to a more sustainable model. McDonald's decides now, so call them to prevent the next pandemic. Pandemics are the shocking but inevitable consequence of the poor hygiene, cross-contamination and the undersized animal welfare that occurs when animals are exploited for 'food'. Viruses appear in markets where live animals are traded, but also in the filth and miserable living conditions of farm animals. These viruses eventually spread to people around the world. To keep farm animals alive in their appalling conditions, they are given a powerful cocktail of medicines, including antibiotics. In the US (and I think it's not much different here) 80% of the antibiotics sold are given to farm animals. As a result, the 'sickmakers' become travel tent for the overused medication, so-called 'superbugs' (superbacteria) arise and eventually we no longer have working medicines at our disposal when we get sick. Coronavirus is an animal virus introduced to humans through animal markets. Similarly, influenza A viruses are avian influenza viruses that have passed through poultry farming to humans. Taking animals off our collective board would be a big step in preventing future pandemics and improving our health and the environment at the same time. There is a lesson that we as a species, despite hundreds of years of vigorous warnings, have not learned. Tuberculosis, measles, whooping cough, typhoid, leprosy and cold all have one thing in common: they once crossed from animal to human when we started domesticating, breeding and exploiting animals. 70 billion animals are raised each year in horrible conditions — pumped full of antibiotics to prevent disease outbreaks and stimulate unnaturally rapid growth. Intensive livestock farming is a nightmare for the environment and animal welfare — but it's a paradise for germs, which mutate , multiply and skip to people. Already 700,000 people die every year from infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Scientists predict that this will be up to 10 million deaths per year in 2050. But we can do something about it. McDonald's is the largest buyer of beef in the world and is currently deciding on a new antibiotic policy. If we call on the company to take only meat that has been produced antibiotic-free, it could push the entire industry to a more sustainable model. Let's make that happen! There's almost nothing that McDonald's thinks is more important than their image — so If millions of us make our voices heard, we can convince the meat giant to stop taking antibiotics and help prevent the next pandemic. Sign now and share it quickly: McDonald's: no antibiotics in livestock farming!

Free DIY Fidgets Board Game

Create your own board game with these free printables! If you love Fidgets (those anti-stress toys) then you want nothing more than to frunnip, frutsel, spin, pop and click. They help you relax and improve your ability to concentrate. Fidgets can be bought, but you can also craft yourself, then you can make your own DIY Fidgets. For the real and creative Fidgets fans there is now also (exclusively here on Yoors) a board game to print out. You color everything yourself with your favorite colors. After that, cut out the 4 parts of the board game and paste them (neatly overlapping) together. Also the pawns, tickets and the money (Fidget Points) color and cut out. Just a dice you need to look at it. The square (colored by you) game board can be glued to a piece of cardboard, e.g.. a pizza or cornflake box. Ask your friends/girlfriends to play with and you can start right away! The game is over, if all fidgets (cards) have an owner. The one, who then has the most Fidget Points, is the Fidget Board Game Winner! How to print out the graphics of the board game? Save the jpg images (right) and go to the saved folder. Usually that is the download folder. From that folder, you can print as you used to. You can print as much as you want, but please note, do not share the images yourself on the internet (Pinterest, Facebook, or on your own website etc), due to copyright. Sharing the LINK to this page with your friends, can of course. Smaller A4 Travel Edition If you want to print out the ieniemienie version as a travel edition, you can of course. Only your grandma or grandfather will not be able to play along with reading glasses, because the fine print will be almost unreadable. Anyway, probably the older people don't even know what fidgets are? Maybe this is the opportunity to explain it to them. :) Print tickets Above you have the corresponding tickets. Cut out the Stress and Relax cards and put them upside down (so not readable) in 2 stacks on the 2 compartments on the game board. On the right you see Fidgets tickets. Compare it to the streets of Monopoly. Give each fidget card a different color! So then you get Roller Chain yellow, blue and red. Also on the game board you give the Roller Chain boxes the same colors! Fidget Points as a means of payment The sheet with the Fidgets Points can be printed out 2 or 3 times, so that all players can have lots of notes to pay with, receive from other players, and of course buy fidgets tickets. The Fidget Points can be placed in a box, on which your BANK writes. The idea This game is inspired by the idea of Lotte. Lotte is a big fidget fan and has a own website , Instagram account and TikTok account . On her website you will find lots of facts about fidgets and of course her own webshop! Lotte (12 years) made a similar (but simpler) board game with real fidgets and sent her idea to De Knutseljuf Ede. Really super fun! Not all children have fidgets at home to play with and relax, so instead fidgets are made in the form of cards. Everything has also been added so that the game is now complete, and has more possibilities. E.g.. DIY pawns, stress and relaxation cards, dice cards and of course Fidget Point cash notes. All to color yourself! Hopefully you guys like that Lotte's game board idea has been worked out here and expanded. It took some time to make, but crafting a board game and playing yourself is so much fun to do, anyway? So all fidget fans in the Netherlands can now make this board game by printing, coloring, cutting and pasting! No Stress but Relax, we wish you lots of fun!
