PANDA FAECES TO BE USED AS TOILET PAPER

A Chinese paper company will soon be producing toilet paper made from giant panda faeces and food scraps, state media said on Wednesday. Sichuan Qianwei Fengsheng Paper Company has engineered a way to recycle the copious faeces produced daily by the furry residents of the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda in south-west China, Xinhua said. The company signed a deal with the centre on Monday, according to the news outlet. Due to pandas’ bamboo-heavy diet, their excrement is fibre rich, the news agency said. Pandas produce 10 kilos a day of faeces and an another 50 kilos of “food waste” from bamboo left unchewed or spat out, making it ideal raw material for paper products. The giant panda is one of China’s most iconic animals and the subject of vigorous conservation efforts. It is classified as “vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

MAJOR REASONS WHY YOUNG CHRISTIANS START WELL AND END UP FALLING

If there is one thing that saddens or sickens the heart, It is seeing a person with great potentials starts well and then end badly. This is something that can happen to any one and cuts through all areas of life. For example; in the world of sports, where youngsters such as athletes or footballers who have shown from the onset that they have a bright future, youngsters who had started so well that it seems nothing can ever go wrong. Yet, they end their promising careers because of things such as; a loosed lifestyle or drug abuse. While this is common, In other cases it could be seeing sports men or women getting crippled due to one accident or another and therefore bringing their career to an end, and in other cases due to bad characters or wrong peer group advice/association. While these may be sad, the saddest of all still remains seeing it happen spiritually. Many of us Christians might have seen or experience such cases; it might have happened to people around us, where...
