How can I save on my water bill?
2022 marked the driest summer in nearly 30 years according to the UK government. And authorities felt the need to bring in a hosepipe ban across Kent and Sussex, which came into effect from 26th June.Back in April, a National Drought Group spokesperson said that Britain won’t be able to “rely on the weather alone” to sustain water levels, and that preparations were being made to reduce the drought risk. It was also suggested that households should focus on saving water to help the efforts. An additional benefit when doing so is that it could help you save money on your water bill. That’s all the more relevant when you consider that as of 1st April, the average annual water bill rose by £31 to hit £448.Isn’t water free? Why do I have to pay for it?

Aquamation : what are the advantages of being buried in water?
Until recently when confronted with arranging a funeral there has been a choice between burial or cremation. However, in parts of the US, Canada and soon the UK a third choice can be possible. Aquamation or as it is known technically “alkaline hydrolysis” is an alternative to traditional burials. The body of the deceased is placed in a pressurised stainless steel vessel and immersed in a mixture of water and alkali for three to four hours and heated to around 150C. During the process all the material is broken down leaving only the inorganic bone minerals which are then processed into powder and returned to the family in an urn.What is aquamation?

Are blue eyes really more sensitive to light?
The idea that light-colored eyes are generally more fragile is pretty widespread. They’re less resistant to sunlight and require more protection. According to Medical News Today, it’s estimated that around 8-10% of people in the world have blue eyes.When our eyes are open, rays of light pass through the pupil, the black opening in the center of the iris. As you may know, the pupil dilates when it’s dark and contracts in bright light. When light rays strike the retina, they’re captured by photoreceptor cells like rod cells, which are involved in night vision and cone cells that enable color vision, among other things.What’s the function of the iris ? Is sunlight dangerous for the eyes? Is wearing sunglasses enough to protect my eyes ?

Could slow living make me happier?
The societies we live in these days, and especially in cities. We sometimes feel exhausted, anxious, depressed, and lonely in this ultra-productive life. What’s more, the constant fast pace can lead to memory and concentration problems. If you’re struggling to keep up, the slow living philosophy could be for you. Slow Living is to do less in order to enjoy more. Instead of wanting to have multiple experiences that we only half-enjoy, slow living encourages us to simplify our lives and savour the present moment. It’s related to concepts of mindfulness and being fully present. Slow living can be interpreted in different ways, but the common thread is the idea of intentionality in what we do.When did the slow movement start ? Isn’t it impossible to live a slow life in a city?
