Whether you are in Figeac or Cayenne, here is the essential information for this Friday.
The fake off of the day: Are Greta Thunberg's Facebook posts written by others?
"Obviously, Greta Thunberg is POWDER WITH EYES ...", "She may not know how to read ..." On social networks, detractors of the 17-year-old Swedish activist committed to the protection of the 'environment are having a great time since a "revelation" around its Facebook page to 2.7 million subscribers, relayed in recent days. Climatosceptics capture the screen accusing him of not writing his posts on social networks. What about
The big cleaning of the day: How the 38,000 m³ of "sea of waste" will be cleared
Rubble, sinks, tiles and tires as far as the eye can see. For 20 years, nearly 38,000 m³ of waste has been illegally piled up on a vast wasteland on horseback between Carrières-sous-Poissy, Triel-sur-Seine and Chanteloup-les-Vignes, in the Yvelines, transforming these former lands of market gardening in a huge open dump. Thursday, the kick-off of the site cleaning was given by the DVD mayor of Carrière-sous-Poissy, Christophe Delrieu. "This launch of operations is already the culmination of four years of work," said the elected official. Just knowing how many m³ of waste was on this wasteland and what kind it was was the subject of six months of diagnosis. So how are we going to clean up the area?
The endangered animal of the day: Survive rather than reproduce ... Leatherback turtles facing the dilemma of climate change?
Their ancestors shared the planet with dinosaurs 100 million years ago, and they have spanned the ages since, occupying a crucial place in the marine ecosystem. “Sea turtles are among the most mysterious and charismatic inhabitants of our oceans, says Damien Chevallier, researcher at the Multidisciplinary Institute Hubert Curien (IPHC-CNRS), specialist in this marine animal. And it is hardly believable to imagine that their time is running out today. Of the seven species of sea turtles, six are now on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. How to survive when industrial fishing, plastic pollution or climate change threaten it every day?
The “Oops! Of the day: What does Britney Spears and Figeac have in common in the Lot?
For several days, the Sympa gallery, located in the heart of the city of Lot, has been announcing an event of international scope: the first solo exhibition of Britney Spears. So will we see the works (who said the crusts?) Of the interpreter of Oops!…. I did it again ?
The rapper of the day: "I have life in front of me, but I also tell myself that I can leave at any time", announces Maes
"Everything comes just in time who knows how to wait", that could be Maes' motto. Because he made us hang around for an hour when we last met? No (we forgive him), especially because the rapper from Sevran perfectly masters the art of suspense, especially when it comes to Booba, one of his models. Until the last moment, Maes has cast doubt on the presence of the Duke of Boulogne on his new album The last bastards , which comes out on Friday, playing with the nerves of his many fans. But don't worry, B2O is there, as are Ninho and Jul who answered the call.
