Sustainability is at the forefront of many peoples’ minds and businesses currently, as living and working in a sustainable way has become a necessity due to the modern flow of life that we have become accustomed to. When we hear the word “sustainability” many tend to think of renewable fuel sources, reducing carbon emissions, protecting environments and finding ways of keeping the delicate ecosystems of our planet in balance. In short, sustainability looks to protect our natural environment, human and ecological health, while driving innovation and not compromising our way of life as we know it.
There are numerous examples throughout human history where a civilisation has damaged its own environment and damaged its survival chances due to taking resources to sustain certain lifestyles. Sustainability takes into account how we might live in harmony with the natural world around us, protecting it from damage and destruction.
We now live in a modern, consumerist and largely urban existence throughout
Kindness to our world...
the developed world and we consume a lot of natural resources every day as a result. Urban areas consume more power than those who live in rural areas; however there are improvement to be made everywhere, as it is estimated that we use 40% more resources every year than we can actually put back, which must change.
The front runners in the cause are economic development, social development and environmental protection. These are the three
main sectors when sustainability is broken down into three main parts.
Within the economic development bracket, supply and demand market is a main focus as it’s consumerist in nature and modern life requires a lot of resources every day; for the sake of the environment, getting what we consume under control is the main goal. Economic development is based around giving people what they want without compromising quality of life, and this is especially important in the developing world.
The biggest topic when it comes to social development for many people right now is sustainable housing and how we can improve new homes and build from sustainable materials. Education is also a key aspect - encouraging people to participate in environmental sustainability is the first step and also teaching them about the effects of environmental protection is paramount; as well as warning of the dangers if we cannot achieve a positive outcome.
Also the biggest social activism movement related to the social development side of sustainability, has been programs such as Fair Trade and the Rainforest Alliance. These two programmes encourage good farming practices while ensuring farmers who produce luxury goods such as coffee and cocoa receive a decent living wage.
Environmental protection is the third

pillar when talking about sustainability, and to many is the main concern of the future of humanity. It defines how we should study and protect ecosystems, air quality, integrity and sustainability of our resources and focuses on the areas that place stress on the environment. It also concerns how technology will drive our greener future; the EPA recognized that developing technology and biotechnology is key to this sustainability, and protecting the environment of the future from potential damage that technological advances could potentially bring.
All these elements are crucial when it comes to improving the world we live in. As many of us have experienced lockdown recently due to Covid19; I feel that a lot of people have rethought their normal way of life and in some ways have realised how damaging their habits were to the planet and own wellbeing.
From no longer being able to travel almost immediately, to reducing our consumption of impulse buys and indulging activities. There’s been so many things that have changed, but it has definitely been a chance to step back and actually engage in the present. Even though many aspects of life have suffered, many other areas such as nature have thrived as a result of human activity being limited. And I think that’s been a huge lesson for everyone and future generations to come on how life could proceed and prosper in the future.
“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”

“Sustainable development requires human ingenuity. People are the most important resource.”

The EU Entry/Exit system is a new electronic system that will replace the physical stamping of passports when you go through passport control when arriving in and departing from your destination. It will register all entries and exits to and from the participating European countries, which basically means it will register your movements every time you cross a border in or out of the EU/Schengen area.
Once the new system is live, when you go through passport control on your arrival to, and departure from your destination, as well as providing your passport you will also need to have a photo of your face taken, and your fingerprints scanned.
Why is the EU launching a new travel authorisation system?
Starting in Q4 2026, the European Commission will roll out a U.S. style electronic travel authorisation system for visitors from countries that are currently not part of the EU. These visitors have been granted visafree access to the EU and Schengen member
countries through virtue of their good track record on security issues and, thus, have not been deemed as a threat to EU security. However, the EU is wanting to strengthen its border security as well as digitally screen and track travellers entering and leaving EU countries.
ETIAS stands for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System. The system will check the security credentials and charge a fee to travellers visiting EU member countries for business, tourism, medical or transit purposes. Travellers who currently visit Europe visa-free are able to enter EU and Schengen Member countries cost-free and without any digital security screening prior to their arrival to Europe. ETIAS is not a visa, and is more accurately referred to as a visa-waiver. The ETIAS, like the ESTA, is a travel authorisation for travellers not requiring a visa to visit Europe. Under the ETIAS, these visitors will undergo additional security checks prior to being permitted to enter the EU. The ETIAS will be mandatory for citizens of such countries as the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Originally an independent tuning company founded in 1965 in Buchloe, Germany, Alpina has officially evolved into an exclusive standalone brand under the BMW Group.
The Brand Focus:
Unlike BMW’s M division—which focuses on race-track performance—BMW ALPINA is all about top-end luxury, longdistance Grand Touring, and a refined “Comfort+” ride.
BMW ALPINA is the most exclusive luxury and performance brand within BMW. BMW ALPINA has combined precision engineering, handcrafted refinement.
Aesthetic: Alpina’s roots can be traced back to 1962, when Burkard Bovensiepen developed a Weber dual carburetor for the BMW 1500. This carburetor was well received by the automotive press, as well as BMW’s own sales boss Paul G. Hahnemann. In 1964, BMW certified the quality of this Alpina product by awarding BMW vehicles fitted with the Alpina system the full factory guarantee.
Since 1983, Alpina has been recognized by the German Federal Ministry of Transport as an automobile manufacturer.
Brand: In 2026, BMW ALPINA was launched as an exclusive standalone brand under the BMW Group umbrella, with an emphasis on performance, ride comfort, bespoke options and custom materials.[6] Later that year, BMW presented the Vision BMW ALPINA at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este as a one-of-one design study previewing the future direction of the BMW ALPINA brand. The concept is a large four-seat coupé measuring 5,200 mm in length and powered by a V8 engine, with traditional ALPINA elements including deco lines, 20-spoke wheels and four elliptical exhaust tips
Alpina officially withdrew from racing in 1988 because of capacity limitations and restrictions. Tied to this was the decision to begin production of a new set of BMW Alpina automobiles
Early: In its first years, Alpina established its core competency by tuning carburetors and camshafts to extract more power from BMW engines, elements that eventually defined the company’s logo, which came into being in 1967. Between 1968 and 1977, Alpina cars did very well in competition. The highlight was in 1970, when the team’s cars won the European Touring Car Championship, the German Hillclimb Championship, rally and track racing championships, and the prestigious Spa 24 Hours.
Alpina-built cars are branded and registered as Alpina instead of BMW, although an Alpina can be serviced at all BMW dealerships, and is fully covered if a warranty issue arises. Alpina automobiles are also sold at some BMW dealerships.
Surf and turf or surf ‘n’ turf is a main course combining seafood and red meat. A typical seafood component would be lobster (either lobster tail or a whole lobster), prawns, shrimp, squid or scallops, any of which could be steamed, grilled or breaded and fried. The meat is typically beef steak, although others may be used. One standard combination is lobster tail and filet mignon.
Surf and turf is eaten in steakhouses in the United States, Canada, UK and Australia, and may also be available in some British/Irishstyle pubs in those countries.
Surf and turf is often considered as an example of conspicuous consumption and kitsch, as it combines two expensive foods
which are not normally considered to be complementary. The point of surf ‘n’ turf is to maximize hedonistic extravagance.
