There's a lot of talk about the planet suffering right now. We're sad, we cry, we share disastrous images, etc. But what are we doing? In concrete terms, Every day for our planet? In 2019, I read and subscribed to several blogs to learn more. I even tried to find CEGEP-level training to become even more informed. But I didn't find what I was looking for. Nevertheless, there really is a lot of information on the internet. Here are my favorite informative websites.
