My Body, My Choice

In the 1973, US made abortion legal. And, now the supreme court wants to push a ban of abortion across the entire country. This happening caused more than 300 pro-choice protests . And even though a clear majority of Americans support an abortion, some of the states has already created ban on it (ex. Louisiana - they would charge women with murder if they end their pregenecy)

It’s unimaginable for me that abortion is still considered a murder or is taken away form women who lifes can be at stake. I was especially surprised that a country like the US, which is synonymous with freedom, now struggles with dealing with this matter. In my opinion, it’s inhumane to take away this choice from women and it's even worse to listen to privileged men talking about it. I believe that the key for this “problem” is a proper education about an abortion ( for everybody ) and to finally listen to each other without judgement

    Unfortunately, in the US, like in Poland, the political establishment is to a large extent influenced by religious extremists (in the US the so called evangelicals), and this has led to the Supreme Court being dominated by right-wing conservatists.
    And all this happening at the time when in Europe this fight has been over for half a century.

Zero-waste grocery stores

For people who are tired of big supermarkets and who care about the planet, zero waste grocery stores are ideal. The idea is very simple: store sells food without packaging in an effort to reduce the tool of plastic on the environment.  Shopping becomes more personal and more meaningful. You start to value quality of products not look of their package.  You bring your own containers and you fill everything up by yourself. Goods are stored in clear self-service bins or dispensers. Shops offer all sorts of staples by weight, from raisins to flour to olive oil to shampoo. There’s not a piece of plastic wrap in sight. And most importantly food is much healthier then food offered by discount shops. Goods are usually organic, bio and they are coming from sustainable brands. It often ends up so much cheaper because you’re not paying for the packaging (advertising + branding that goes with it). This idea spread across the world. Even in Warsaw, here are some examples: Deko Zakupy (Włodarzewska
