Lesbos, land of anger!
On the Greek island of Lesbos, tens of thousands of migrants were already living in makeshift camps, hoping to obtain asylum in Europe. The Turkish President's decision to open its borders with Greece has exacerbated the crisis, a new stream of refugees trying to access Europe. On the Greek islands of the Aegean Sea, the situation becomes untenable. In Lesbos, refugees are already surviving in inhuman conditions. The initially welcoming population is at the end of their nerves and worried about this new influx of migrants.

Migrants blackmailed by the EU
By breaking the agreement with Europe, President Erdogan started a standoff, taking thousands of refugees hostage. Indeed, since March 2016, Turkey has been holding migrants on its soil wishing to access Europe in exchange for financial assistance of several thousand euros from Brussels. Faced with the risk of a new influx and the tensions that have arisen on the Greek-Turkish border, the European Union must face questions and criticisms about its migration policy and the absence of a common asylum policy. And on the management of hotspots, these centers for examining asylum requests transformed into shanty towns in the Aegean islands.

Mushrooms: a material for the future!
It is a revolution in the field of construction which is emerging in a German laboratory. Mushrooms have unsuspected properties and would advantageously replace plastic but also drywall and many other building materials. In a short time we will be able to buy clothes, a bicycle helmet or even furniture made from mushrooms. A real green revolution!
