As we head into the end-of-year Holiday Season, the "BioTrio" team at Bioenergy International – Jeanette, Alan, and Dorota – would like to wish all our readers a safe and peaceful Holiday Season. To all our advertisers, subscribers, partners, and readers that have supported us over the year, “BioTrio” would like to extend a "thank you" for being a part of our expanding platform, and we hope to see and hear from you again in 2023.
For those that have persevered with us since the start back in 2001, a very special thank you.
Sadly, 2022 has overwhelmingly been overshadowed by Russia’s or rather President Putin’s diabolical invasion of Ukraine. Overshadowed as it is easy to forget other ongoing conflicts and calamities around the world that also deserve media attention and humanitarian support.
Still ongoing, Christmas Eve represents ten months since marionette mercenaries and Russian troops crossed the border of an independent and Sovereign State to conduct a “special military operation” in a botched bid to bully back the Soviet Union and liberate Ukraine from Ukrainians.
Putin’s war – a term now publically used by Putin though it is unlikely that he will be prosecuted and incarcerated as a result unlike numerous ordinary Russians that have spoken up calling it for what it is – has brought nothing but wanton death and destruction to Ukraine with untold misery and suffering to millions as a result.
Those of us living in Europe have since February 24, 2022, had to contend with skyrocketing energy prices, depressed economies, and rising inflation – in Maslow’s needs hierarchy terms, a hardship for some less fortunate but for many a mere inconvenience by comparison.
Yet it is also in the midst of this ongoing Harmagedon that the very best of humanity and application of human characteristics, by individuals and collectives, is found – steadfast leadership, resolute resistance, and unwavering support in the face of overbearing adversity.
Amongst other things, Christmas is supposed to be the charitable Season of altruistic selflessness typically enacted through the giving of presents to loved ones, the sending of cards in remembrance and acknowledgment of friends, acquaintances, and associates, and the donation of extras to those that have not.
And while this is all well and good, a little bit of Christmas spirit every day would go a long way. Like the everyday heroes and heroines in Ukraine that find ways to help others make it through to the next day.
