Winter will bring emptiness, emptiness, emptiness; winter will bring emptiness. All spring, emptiness. All summer. All fall.

Lemony Snicket's Advice on Writing a Nice Thank-You Note

1. Do not start with the thank you.

2. Start with any other sentence. If you first say, “Thank you for the nice sweater,” you can’t imagine what to write next. Say, “It was so wonderful to come home from school to find this nice sweater. Thank you for thinking of me on Arbor Day.”

3. Then you’re done.

I recommend learning how to write a very good thank-you note. A child who can write a nice thank-you note can turn into a cocaine dealer five years later and be remembered as the child who wrote nice thank-you notes.

Image and text by @beverlyjoubert. The tusks of around 7000 elephants begin to burn in Kenya in the largest ivory burn in history. It’s a controversial act against poaching because of the high monetary value of ivory and while Kenya doesn’t expect this to end the poaching, it is sending out a strong message that elephants are worth more alive and that Kenya is stepping up their war against those who traffic wildlife and wildlife products. Why not sell the ivory and use the money for the conservation of these animals? Well, these tusks are mostly from elephants illegally killed for their ivory which has been confiscated over the years, and Kenya refuses to make money from contraband. Also, ivory released for sale in the past ended up fuelling the demand and there was a sudden and extreme rise in elephant poaching. Many people don’t know that elephants are killed for their tusks and believe that they fall out naturally. They don’t. There are two main factors in wildlife trafficking - greed and ignorance and with a burn this size and all the news and controversy surrounding it, well people can no longer claim ignorance. #worthmorealive #saynotoivory #kenyaivoryburn by natgeo
