Comments from our guests and members

Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.

Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?

The Power of Vulnerability. Brene Brown discusses the power of vulnerability and human connection. People today numb themselves from being vulnerable by taking on forms of addictions to keep themselves from feeling and having emotions and ultimately the fear of pain. In turn, they deprive themselves of happiness as well.

She discusses how we have to allow ourselves to experience both to be able to find those deep connections with one another.

-- Michael Thomas, RC of Stony Plain, District 5370

I liked the recognition of David Foster in Canadiana. My first memories of him are of his writing and performance of the 1988 Winter Games (Calgary) theme.

-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Empower and Girl, Change a Community. Very inspiring TED talk!

-- Tammy Waugh, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

Food for thought

Consumption of Microplastics (dated June 2019)

Microplastics can range from visible pieces to tiny particles the size of cells.

A study from the University of Victoria has for the first time compiled research on microplastics to try to estimate just how much people are consuming.

The study found that a person's average microplastic consumption, based on the food items previously analyzed, is between 70,000 and 121,000 particles per year. People who consume bottled water saw that number increase. (Jonathan Hayward/The Canadian Press)

Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are just under five millimetres in diameter — or smaller than the size of a sesame seed — that come from the degradation of larger plastic products or the shedding of particles from water bottles, plastic packaging and synthetic clothes.

Garth Covernton, a PhD candidate at University of Victoria's department of biology, said his team looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics found in individual food items.
