Fantastic Plastic

It's in our bottles 
Cup and dish
It's in the sea
and in the fish

It doesn't rot 
Or dissolve away
It'll outlive you
And your decay

A million years
They'll still be whole
Eaten by sealife
School and shoal

They'll choke the world
Suffocate the sea
All for our shopping
This deathly debris

Did You Know?..............Plastic Bag



Every second, 160,000 plastic bags are used around the world.

The amount of petroleum it takes to produce one plastic bag could drive a car 11 metres (36 ft).

A plastic bag is used for an average of 12 minutes.

267 different species of animals have been affected by marine debris.
If we joined all the plastic bags in the world together, they would circumnavigate the globe 4,200 times.

If just one person used recycled plastic bags over their lifetime, they would be removing 22,000 plastic bags from the environment.

Plastic bags are among the 12 items of debris most found in coastal clean-ups.

COAL

I work in the dark, deep underground
I toil in the muck where all light is drowned

In the dirt and the dust
I hack and I pick.
Shovel and crawl
My blood it runs thick

My skin eats the dirt
Tattooed with coal
The carbon that eats
Right down to my soul

But now it’s all gone
On a political whim
We import our power
From some pseudonym

The men were so proud
To toil for their pay
To ensure we had the means
To turn night into day

They worked underground they worked in their sweat
We owed them more, forever in debt


COAL


The 1984 Miners' Strike was a last attempt by the mining unions to stop mining closures and the loss of jobs.

The biggest strike in the post-war era (at its height, 142,000 mineworkers were involved), it was also one of the bitterest industrial disputes in British history

The strike ended on 3 March 1985 with the NUM having failed to achieve concessions from the government


In March 1984 more than 187,000 miners came out on strike when the National Coal Board announced that 20 pits in England would have to close with the loss of 20,000 jobs.

It was the start of one of the most confrontational strikes ever seen, marred by picket line violence and clashes between police and miners.

Miners in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire eventually followed Yorkshire pits and came out on strike. 

But some miners continued to work and were branded as "scabs" by their colleagues when they crossed picket lines.

The Government branded the striking miners as "the enemy within".

When the strike ended 12 months later, it was estimated that the total cost had been £3 billion.

Over 11,000 people had been arrested, and around 5,000 miners stood trial for a variety of offences.

Many of the threatened closures took place in 1992.

Mining communities throughout the country were scarred, and many never fully recovered.

It was the end of the industry that had once been the backbone of industrial Britain.

Collapse of an industry

In 1984 there were 170 collieries in Britain, employing more than 190,000 people.

The last deep coal mine closed, in Yorkshire, in 2015.



The record for filling a 508 kg (0.5 ton) hopper with coal using a banjo shovel by a team of two is 14.8 seconds, by Brian Coghlan and Piet Groot (both New Zealand) at the opening of the Brunner Bridge, South Island, New Zealand, on 27 March 2004.



If you think about it, your belly button is your old mouth.

Hymn for Him

  
Give us this day
Our daily bread
Give us this day
And a bed for our head

Give us the night
And a warm cozy place
Give us the night
Our own safety space

Give us all our past
A place we can visit
But not linger there
It’s not life’s prerequisite

Give our present
This moment in time
Give us our present
Our reason and rhyme

Give us the future
Of hope, health and peace
Give us a future
From our burdens release




Hymnhymn Song of praise or gratitude to a god or hero. The oldest forms are found in ancient Egyptian and Greek writings and in the Old Testament psalms of rejoicing. In strict Christian church usage, hymns are religious songs sung by the choir and congregation in a church, distinct from a psalm or a canticle.

There are more than 950,000 Christian hymns in existence. 

The music and parts of the text of a hymn in the Oxyrhynchus Papyri from the 2nd century are the earliest known hymnody. 

The earliest exactly datable hymn is the Heyr Himna Smi¢ur (Hear, the Maker of Heaven) from 1208 by the Icelandic bard and chieftain Kolbeinn Tumason.
