• Diseases/Death –> from insects e.g. mosquito (warm climate is friendly to mosquitoes, the malaria carrying) –>due to heat waves and long more hot days
• Diseases/Death –> from migration, climate refugees –> due to rising of sea level
• Diseases/Death –> from heat (unable to adapt to changing condition) –> due to heat waves and long more hot days
• Injuries/Diseases/Death –> from flood, skin diseases, infection –> due to more frequent and extreme degree of heavy cyclone

Have you ever hear about “organic egg”, “free range egg”, “organic free range egg”?

Organic Eggs are eggs produced by hens that are fed special organic feed. Most organic eggs usually come from chickens that are not given hormones, don’t get prophylactic antibiotics (to prevent infection), and who eat feed that is grown organically. This means the feed they eat usually isn’t treated with chemical pesticides or fertilizers.

Free Range Eggs are eggs produced from hen that are not given hormones, prophylactic antibiotics, no additive are fed to enhance yolk color. Hens are permitted to roam freely within the farmyard. Hens live in a natural environment and have a freedom to walk, flap their wings, run, scratch in the sun, breathe clean air and lay egg in the nest and kept indoors (sheds or henhouses) at night. Free range system is good for hens, gives hens no stress and discomfort. Thus, when free of stress and discomfort, hens have a good health, no need to feed antibiotics. You can eat healthy eggs from healthy hens plus no chemical, hormone and antibiotics.
