The article discusses various fashion trends that have become popular, such as young people and some older individuals choosing to expose their ankles by not wearing socks in winter, or wearing long branded socks with shorts and sports shoes in summer. The author criticizes these trends as senseless, especially when paired with warm hats, gloves, and scarves. Other trends mentioned include tattoos in unusual places, distressed jeans, asymmetrical haircuts, piercings in uncomfortable areas, and dangerous behaviors like taking risky selfies, 'balconing', and 'bug chasing'. The author implies that the recent storm Filomena may have discouraged such impractical fashion choices.

The European Commission is monitoring a 50% reduction in the use of chemical pesticides and the most dangerous pesticides by 2030, aiming to decrease nutrient losses without affecting soil fertility. The agricultural sector, particularly animal farming, is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and the Commission seeks to promote more sustainable practices. The Commission also aims to halve the sales of antimicrobials, dedicate 25% of EU agricultural land to organic farming, and support the growth of organic aquaculture by 2030. Criticism arises from current consumption patterns leading to health issues and the controversial proposal to reduce meat production and consumption. The strategy's implementation may be reconsidered in light of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact, as stated by Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski.
