Typhoon leaves at least seven people dead and thousands displaced in the Philippines
MANILA: A typhoon has finally moved away from the Philippines, leaving at least seven people dead, mostly due to floods or toppled trees, and forcing the closures of several seaports, stranding thousands of passengers, officials said Tuesday. Typhoon Ewiniar crept by the country's eastern coast late Friday night and lingered over the Philippine islands for several days, before shifting northeastward away from the archipelago.All storm warnings were lifted Tuesday. The typhoon's shift in direction spared the densely populated capital, Manila, from a potentially damaging hit. Ewiniar, locally known as Aghon, was last tracked Tuesday about 450 kilometers (280 miles) east of the northern town of Basco in Batanes province with sustained winds of 130 kph (81 mph) and gusts of up to 160 kph (99 mph), according to government forecasters.

Food and plastic
I wish I could choose a better title but I was really shocked when I found out about microplastics and how they have gotten into our food. If you read more about fish and how they absorb or eat microplastics, you may just become carnivorous again. But if you have already skipped red meat and chicken and have turned to fish as a safer protein, think again. Knowing about plastics and how our oceans are full of it may drive you to avoid fish and turn vegetarian.
