This time we talked about the water pollution and the serious consequences it has on our environment. All the waste and the trash that goes into our waters has obviously terrible effects on our planet. Not only the water itself is dirty, but also the flora and fauna get seriously damaged and endangered by the amounts of junk that are thrown into the aquatic ecosystem. Even though the problem of water pollution may seem to be obvious, it is important to be conscious about it and try to resolve it, beginning with ourselves and the amount of waste we produce non our own.

Because of the coronavirus we had to cancel our primary holiday plans, so we decided to go to Mazury and rent a sailboat. This way it is easier to keep distance from people as you sail on the lakes. We started our trip in a port in Popielno and then sailed on the nearby lakes, including the biggest one in Poland, Śniardwy. I really love sailing and have gotten my licence a few years back, so I was very happy to spend a week on such activity, that also allows you to be close to nature.

This time for my Creativity I have decided to do my own take on the yin yang symbol. Some time ago I have seen a tattoo depicting a two koi fish that each swam in different direction, and both were enclosed in a circle-like shape. I have later learned that such yin yang composition of koi represents the harmony in life and swimming in both directions. I really liked the symbolism of that tattoo, so I decided do draw something similar.

Because my other service is currently unavailable due to the coronavirus, I attend the Animal Rights Faculty. During this meeting we have discussed the situation of the whale shark. A deck of slides regarding the matter was shown to help everybody understand how serious it is and to raise general awareness about it. Whale sharks, though feeding only on plankton, are the largest fish in our oceans and are now endangered, because they often are caught as by-catch and killed this way.

Because my basketball trainings are not going on during holidays, I train at home at my own pace. i usually run on an elliptical trainer for about 20 minutes. I have the goal of making 5 km in less than 24 minutes and progress to be successful. Before and after the run I also do stretching to avoid any injuries. A training like this really helps with my general condition and durability in other sports.

For my Creativity I have done drawing, as usually. As I am now in a stage of practising the drawing of faces, I have drawn one this time too. I based my sketch on a photo, to get the proportions right, but I did not try to really replicate the features or do a portrait. This work is a really simple one, so I used only a basic pencil.

Unfortunately due to the pandemic of coronavirus we had to put our TEDx arrangements on hold. In the present time we are not sure how situation will unfold. Therefore, we had to make a pause in organisational work of the event. We will continue to work on the logistics as soon as it will be possible.

During this meeting of Animal Rights Faculty we discussed the matter of moles. However, most of the mole species has a stable status, there are a few that are threatened by factors such as urbanisation or usage of pesticides. This only shows how modern civilisation can be dangerous to native wildlife. Therefore our aim is to raise awareness of the matter for people to have more consciousness about the problem.

As we continue our trainings, we start to gain back the form and speed them up. This time we were focusing on layups. We divided ourselves into two groups of three and practiced doing two-step throws from every position and angle to the basket. Then we also switched hands or sides, so the shots could be as much diverse as possible. This type of training is to prepare us to be able to shoot the ball no matter what position to the basket we find ourselves in.
