The power of emotions
"Do you ever look at someone and wonder what's going on inside his or her head?" Inside Out is a must see film if you're interested in how emotions drive us. It's clever to identify the 5 key emotions we all have- joy, sadness, disgust, fear and anger and show how they drive us. Interesting as well that the only positive emotion in this group is Joy and, when she goes missing she is very much missed!

Free breakfasts in schools to fight food poverty
Thousands of students across NSW will be given free breakfasts every morning, with the government to roll-out a program to provide healthy meals in 500 schools. The breakfast clubs will run in partnership with Foodbank, Australia's largest food relief charity, to ensure children can start each school day with a nutritious meal. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/free-breakfasts-in-hundreds-of-nsw-public-schools-to-fight-food-poverty-20190616-p51y6j.html

Plastic eating fungi that could solve our garbage problem
According to reports, the mushroom's plastic-devouring properties were first discovered in 2011, when a team of Yale undergraduates and their professor traveled to Ecuador for a research trip. They found the mushroom, microspora, in the amazon and were astounded to find that the fungus not only subsists on polyurethane (it's the first plant to sustain itself only on plastic), but could do so without oxygen. That means it could be planted at the bottom of landfills and happily eat its fill of plastic for eons to come! https://www.newsweek.com/2014/12/26/plastic-eating-fungi-could-solve-our-garbage-problem-291694.html
