If you see a tall, long-necked bird stalking along a water, it’s probably a heron or an egret. But which one have you seen?

We visited Bang Khla in Chachoengsao province in Thailand. We slept in a hotel next to the Bang Pakong River. Next to the hotel is the Wat Pho Bang Khla, a temple where the trees are full of thousands of fruit bats during the day. The temple is also located on the river. The bats make a lot of noise and their droppings also smell sour

The countries in Southeast Asia have had a air polution problem for years. In the hot season, most of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos are covered in smoke. That smoke is caused by forest fires, slash-and-burn land clearing and the burning of agricultural land after harvest. In the past, there were years when the cross-border haze was particularly serious, such as in 1972, 1997 and 2015. Industrial-scale slash-and-burn practices to clear land for agricultural purposes are a major cause of the haze, particularly for palm oil and pulpwood production in the region. Burning land occurs as it is cheaper and faster compared to cutting and clearing using excavators or other machinery. Fires started for this purpose sometimes spread and create forest fires, worsening the problem. The high concentration of peat in soil contributes to the haze's density and high sulphur content. Fires in Indonesia (particularly Sumatra, and Borneo), and to a lesser extent in Malaysia and Thailand, have been identified as sources. In this video I propose 8 solutions that can put an end to this disease-causing and economically crippling air pollution: Content: 0:00 intro Solution 1: enforcement laws Solution 2: keep peat soil wet Solutioin 3: edication small farmers Solution 4: alarm system for fires Solution 5: improving fire fighting Solution 6: include local people in fire alarm and fighting Solution 7: alternatives to burning Solution 8: better garbage disposal system.

Het leven in Nederland word al jaren beheerst door steeds meer maatregelen voor het klimaat. Op een gegeven moment ben ik gaan uitzoeken waar al deze maatregelen vandaan kwamen. Hoe is het gekomen dat er zoveel aandacht is voor het klimaat? Is er wel klimaatverandering? Komt die opwarming van de aarde wel door de mens en co2 uitstoot zoals ze zeggen? Wie heeft het klimaatbeleid bedacht? Hebben de burgers gekozen voor dit beleid? Waarom hoor je van de politiek en de media altijd een kant van het verhaal? Waarom zijn er geen afwijkende meningen? Is er wel 97% consensus van de wetenschap? Waarom zijn er zoveel mensen die menen dat het hele klimaatbeleid een complot is? Ongeacht wat je zelf gelooft over het klimaat en klimaatverandering zijn dit geoorloofde vragen om uit te zoeken. In dit filmpje wil ik de mechanismen laten zien die hebben geleid tot het huidige klimaat- en biodiversiteit beleid.

On Saturday, February 3, 2024, Bangkok Volkswagen was organized for the second time. Weeks in advance, all Volkswagen owners were called to prepare their cars for this event. We arrived at the site just after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We came in the 1972 Volkswagen variant from Remco. here was a large turnout. Cars were coming in all evening. We estimate that about 500 cars came. After looking at the cars on the festival grounds, we also visited the Srinakarin Train Night Market. There you can buy antiques and retro collectibles. and there are also many old cars.
