.......A MUST READ.......

*A son’s love to his Father*
An old Italian gentleman lived
alone in New Jersey. He wanted to
plant his annual tomato garden,
but it was very difficult work, as
the ground was hard. His only
son, Vincent, who used to help
him, was in prison. The old man
wrote a letter to his son and
described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad because it
looks like I won’t be able to plant
my tomato garden this year. I’m
just getting too old to be digging
up a garden plot. I know if you
were here my troubles would be
over. I know you would be happy
to dig the plot for me, like in the
old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a
letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’ s
where the bodies are buried.
Love, Vinnie
At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI
agents and local police arrived
and dug up the entire area
without finding any bodies. They
apologized to the old man and
left. That same day the old man
received another letter from his
son.
Dear Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes
now. That’s the best I could do
under the circumstances.
Love you, Vinnie

Mauritania bans plastic bag use
Mauritania has banned the use of
plastic bags to protect the
environment and the lives of
animals and fish.
More than 70% of cattle and
sheep who die in the capital,
Nouakchott, are killed by eating
plastic bags, environment ministry
official Mohamed Yahya told BBC
Afrique.
Plastic bag manufacturers could
be jailed for up to a year.
Plastic makes up a quarter of
56,000 tonnes of waste produced
annually in Nouakchott, official
statistics show.
Mauritania's Organization of
Consumer Protection head Moctar
Ould Tauf said he welcomed the
ban, Efe news agency reports.
It was of "particular importance"
given the negative impact of
plastic bags on the environment,
animals and marine species, he
said.
Environment Minister Amedi
Camara said that nearly all of the
plastic package waste is not
"collected and is found in the
natural environment - land and
sea - where they are sometimes
ingested by marine species and
livestock, causing their death".
The government, local non-
governmenta l organisations and
the UN Programme for
Development (UNDP) have been
promoting the use of new
biodegradable bags, the
Mauritanian Information Agency
reports.
Anyone using, manufacturing or
importing plastic bags could be
fined or sentenced to a year in
prison, Mr Camara said.
Several African countries,
including Rwanda, have already
banned the use of plastic bags.
