How To Celebrate Halloween in 2021

Today, I would like to share a few tips on how to celebrate Halloween in 2021.

Seaspiracy

A breath-taking documentary about the impact of the fishing industry on the oceans. It is not light to watch, but you should definitely see it if you believe that we live in climate emergency times.
