I would love all of you to try this out so we get to know each other better!

The answers which are out there may be speculations or fan theories.
Read along!

Earlier this week I attended an event about energy efficiency. And while the speakers discussed this issue on a more broad level, it really got me thinking: our planet is slowly dying. It’s good that conferences like this are happening all over the country, because it goes to show that someone is doing something about it… but are we?
Debra Kelly on Listverse said that, “It’s no secret that our planet is in a pretty dire condition. Extinction rates have been estimated to be about 1,000 times higher than they should be, and that’s all due to human influence—and interference. With around 20,000 species at risk for extinction and countless others that we haven’t even discovered yet also dying, scientists are rushing to figure out what we can do about it. Some have suggested the sixth great mass extinction is looming on the horizon, and the problem is a massive one. It’s so big that there are things that you do every day that are helping to bring about the end of the world, and chances are that you might not even know it.”
These pictures from Bored Panda are just a few examples of what humans are doing that are killing the planet:
The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth is often referred to as the greenhouse effect because a greenhouse works in much the same way.
Incoming UV radiation from the Sun easily passes through the glass walls of a greenhouse and is absorbed by the plants and hard surfaces inside. Weaker IR (infrared) radiation, however, has difficulty passing through the glass walls and is trapped inside, thus warming the greenhouse. This effect lets tropical plants thrive inside a greenhouse, even during a cold winter.
So imagine what we are doing to our planet with the greenhouse effect… The Sun’s heat passes through the ozone layer, through the cracks of it, and the heat is trapped within it. Ice caps are melting, natural disasters are at an all time high and temperatures are soaring high (and if you live in either Malta or the UK, you know what this is!).
I’ll admit that “save” is an interesting word choice, especially considering many scientists think that we are beyond saving after the environmental devastation we have put Earth through thus far. However, as an optimist, I believe every little bit counts and we can still make this planet a beautiful place, and hopefully save its creatures from impending doom. The choices we each make today are important.
This article is very informative if YOU want to help our planet stay alive.
Anything that has jasmines smells soooo damn good to me.
Jennifer Lawrence, because who else?
Probably John Lennon. He’s cool.
I don’t have a particular age in mind, nor do I want to get married to my boyfriend – I prefer a long relationship than marriage – but maybe sometime before we hit 30 years old.
Before I spring-cleaned my room a few months ago, no. After that, yes: myself. I had all sorts of things dating over ten years. TEN. YEARS.
Nope. Not now or before or ever.
… I never did.
Just the Mediterranean Sea in three different countries: Malta, Gozo and Sicily.
Tunisia, Spain, France, Sicily, Italy, England, Budapest, Austria… so that’s eight.
Anything Beatles-related – Julia, Michelle, Jude, Cynthia, Eleanor, Belle, Ebony, Stella and a lot more that cannot come to mind – and I also like Emma, Coraline, Dharla, Olivia, Lyla, Daisy, Lily, Daria, Dhalia and Emily.
Like the previous answer, anything Beatles-related – John, Paul, George, Harrison, Lennon, Mccartney, Julian, Dhani, Sean, Zak, Daniel, Michel and a lot more that cannot come to mind – and I also like Daniel, Noah, Kurt, Axl, Jimmy, Oliver, Logan and Alexander.
Between 30 and 50 in Math.
That’s a long list, but anything I saw on Disney Channel, Power Rangers and anything I watched before I went to school (which were all Italian dubbed).
Nothing. In Malta, we only started celebrating Halloween in the past ten years
I’m currently on the third book of the Harry Potter series… is that bad? The rest no, and not interested.
British… preferably Scouse or Irish.
Nope.
Yes, even though one grandpapa passed away.
No, but I’d like to try!
Who doesn’t?
I think it’s one in Tunisia, over 10 years ago.
I used to be very fluent in French, but after I stopped studying it, I forgot how to speak it, so I’d like to re-start. I’d also like to speak Irish.
Grey.
No, almost though!
Just twins.
Titanic, all the way!
I don’t think I have.
Hard Rock Cafe, hell yes!
We don’t have one in my country.
No.
I asked this to my mum yesterday because I never really asked about this, and she told me they never really had a boy’s name in mind because they’ve always wanted a girl. But then she said that dad always loved Michel.
Never really had one. But I used to be called Marshmallow back in secondary school because I had an obsession with them.
My mother. She’s the absolute best person. And my boyfriend and BFF (I haven’t forgotten about you loves!).
Rural. I love peace and silence.
Yep!
I used to, but not anymore. Although my AC’s temperature is digital with a bright white LED display so hypothetically yes. I sleep with a nightlight.
Almost.
Yes, anxiety and vitamins for concentration.
Crippling anxiety, social anxiety, depression and mild OCD.
Twice, if you count the day I was born.
Uhhhhhhh, who hasn’t?!
New Look, Peacocks, Centro Moda, Matalan…
“Cutie” – from my boyfriend ❤
Most of the time, yes.
English breakfast, medium flavour strength.
Over 10… 15, 16?
I’m more a spiritual than religious person even though I was raised as one. I’ll teach my children what is right and wrong and I will respect whatever religion they want to practise.
I don’t remember, but I was relieved because I was dead scared of him.
Apart from always wanting to have one, I wanted to spread awareness on mental health and body positivity and equality and love around me.
I hope you got to know me better with this tag!
I know waaay too many bloggers, so if you’re one of them…
YOU’VE BEEN TAGGED!
