Françoise Hardy (17 January, 1944 - 11 June, 2024), French singer-songwriter, actress, model, author and astrologer. She was a French cultural icon, especially in 1960s, and one of the greatest figures in French music. She was also one of the leading figures of yé-yé movement.

She was very inspiring to me. She was one of the reasons to learn about French language and culture. I was sad when she died in 2024, it's mainly because i've only known her for a few years and I already really like her.

I love almost all of her songs, very touching my feelings, mostly melancholic and plaintive. From her, I know the other French songs from 1960s, love it. Since her musical career began in 1962, she had released 32 studio albums, 29 compilation albums and 116 singles.

Françoise Hardy, je l'aime, j'adore ses œuvres et sa personnalité. Un jour, si je vais en France, je ferai certainement un pèlerinage sur sa tombe. In this photo Françoise Hardy was photographed by Angelo Frontoni in 1965.

Happy International Mother Earth Day, 22 April, 2025. 2025 Theme: "Our Power, Our Planet". This theme is a message to all parties to unite around renewable energy for the better and sustainable future. This is the 55th Earth Day since the first celebration in 1970.

The production and use of renewable energy transcends economic systems, political borders and political parties, demonstrating a universal appeal. Let us work together on this, we can do this as small as possible. We have a pathway to providing virtually unlimited, low-cost energy to everyone.

We have achieved a lot of achievements so far in this thing:

1. Today over 50% of Denmark’s electricity is generated from wind turbines and by 2026, wind energy will power 30% of the electricity needs of Spain, 17% of the electricity needs of the Netherlands, and 23% of the electricity needs of Germany.
2. In Brazil hydro-electric accounted for nearly 68% of its total electricity generation in 2023. In Italy hydro-electric accounts for 23% of the total electricity generation and is growing, and in Netherlands it accounts for 16%.
3. Kenya is a leader in Africa, with geothermal power accounting for nearly half of its electricity generation. Geothermal can be beneficial for the electrical grid, as it puts less strain on it and can help mitigate blackouts. Geothermal also emits 97% less acid rain-causing compounds and 99% less carbon dioxide.
4. PRC and the U.S. are both making massive investments in renewable energy. PRC is the largest producer world in both wind and solar, with twice as much capacity under construction as the rest of the world combined in 2024.

The strength of this movement lies in its grassroots nature, and our power as individuals. Support and adopt the rapid transition to renewable energy sources now, like solar, wind, hydro-electric, tidal or geothermal.

People's power at the grassroots has always been at the heart of Earth Day. It is the catalyst for paradigm-shifting change because when individuals unite with a common purpose, they can overcome even the strongest systems, really.

Every time you eat be grateful for it because hundreds of millions of people are still starving now. Be grateful for whatever food you have, no matter how much it is. This is a basic human need that no human being throughout history can deny.

This picture is a Soviet postcard for International Workers' Day, designed by E. Kvavadze, 1979. Printed at Printing Office of Ministry of Communication of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

On this postcard there are many colourful balloons flying with some ribbons on the strings and below it there is the planet Earth. There is a writing "Peace! Labour! May!" in Russian. The background of this postcard is blue with some gradation around the planet Earth. These colourful balloons rising up from the planet Earth create atmosphere of peace and hope.

Europe is strong! 🇪🇺💪🏼

C'est ce qui se passe actuellement en Indonésie, je le ressens aussi.
