Would you pay for trash? You are probably thinking No way! But artist Justin Gignac sells New York Cily trash - and people buy it! It all started when Gignac was a student in art school. During a summer internship, he got into an argument about marketing with coworker Gignac said that packaging is more important than the product itself. His coworker disagreed. So Gignac came up with an idea to prove him wrong. He began to walk up and down the streets of New York collecting trash. But he did not just pick up every discarded object he saw. He avoided anything that looked like it might smell. And he looked for things clearly from New York, like old lottery tickets and advertisements, He then put some of the trash inside clear plastic cubes. Each cube had an attractive label with an eye-catching logo. After he dated and signed each one, the trash was ready to be sold online. So far 1,000 of his trash cubes have been sold to people all around the world. Customers pay between $50 and $100 for each cube. It seems like Gignac has definitely won the argumentation with his coworker.

Most people know that metal, glass, and plastic items do not belong in the garbage. Recycling these materials has been an important part of effort to protect the environment for a long time. But many people still do not realize that food waste can be recycled too. One of the best ways to recycle food waste is by turning it into energy. When food waste decomposes, it creates methane. This is a gas that is more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide. When food waste is buried in a landfill, this methane is released into the atmosphere. But if food Waste is collected, the methane can be captured. It is then turned into a bio gas that can be used to create electricity or heat people's homes. Another way to recycle food waste is through home composting. Instead of throwing food waste away, people place it in special bins. These bins ensure that the waste stays at the proper temperature and gets enough oxygen and moisture. This allows tiny creatures to break down the food quickly. Eventually it becomes a rich fertilizer that can be used to help plants grow in gardens or on farms. People can also use food waste to feed farm animals or turn used cooking oil into fuel. Of course, the best way to reduce food waste is to avoid cooking or buying more food than you need. But by finding creative ways to recycle food waste, we can help keep the planet healthy.

It's natural to get nervous in certain situations. Nervousness is usually caused by the pressure we put on ourselves to do well, and a certain amount of nervousness can actually help us perform better. Unfortunately, we sometimes worry so much about making sure that everything is perfect that we ignore the influence of those around us. Our nervousness drives us to start paying too much attention to little details that we normally handle automatically, especially when it comes to things that we do all the time. This kind of overly intense focus can disrupt our performance. It's like walking up a set of stairs, something you probably do every day without any problems. But if you start focusing on how to bend your knees properly or worrying about where you put your feet there's a very good chance that you'1l stumble and fall.

When problems arise, people tend to point a finger at others, especially when it is clear that the problem is their fault. However, even if your blaming is justified, it will likely cause the person to become defensive and uncooperative. This is because you are linking the person to the problem. To avoid this mistake, it is recommended you separate the problem from the person involved with it. Suppose you're a project leader, and your team is behind schedule. The deadline is just around the corner, and no one is working fast enough. In this situation you might be tempted to say, "we might not finish on time. It's because you work too slowly." However, it would be wiser to say, "We might not finish on time. Let's try to find some ways to work more efficiently." Talking in this way brings a better outcome, creating a positive atmosphere and a collaborative attitude.

In the late 19th century, almost all of the people from the poor Italian village of Roseto Valfortore moved to a town in the United States. This town was founded in the state or Pennsylvania in 1887 by Nicola Rosato, who called it Roseto after his hometown. The Italian immigrants who settled there were looking for a better life. In the 1960s, a doctor named Stewart Wolf discovered something very surprising in Roseto. After doing a study on everyone who lived there, he found that they were generally much healthier than the rest of the country. The number of people in the town dying from heart disease was half the national average. In fact, almost no one younger than 55 years of age died of a heart attack. And the death rate from other causes was 35% lower than the national average. Many people simply died of old age. So, what was the Rosetans' secret? Wolf's findings showed that it certainly wasn't their diet. They ate a lot of fatty food and many were very overweight. In addition, they worked long hours in jobs that were very hard on their bodies. There was no clear medical explanation for why they were so healthy. Thus, researchers concluded that the Rosetans' excellent health was caused by the town itself. It was a closely connected community of families. Most children, parents, and grandparents lived under one roof, and everyone got involved in church, festivals, and social activities. Scientists refer to this mysterious influence of family and social life on health as the Roseto Effect. It shows that having close connections with others can help people reduce the everyday stresses that are bad for one's health.
