In 1731 — at the age of 43, which was old in those days — he decided to become an explorer. He explored Canada and was part of the fur trade. He had…

Moreover, it involves public rallies, political pressure, and eventually the creation of the first ever French-speaking Canadian regiment. Here's the story. The 1st Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF,…

It is a necessary for the human to avoid destroying the earth; also the action should come first from an education study such as from the university research. Sustainability means we need to limit the use of resources so that the sources themselves do not disappear. If you look on the website of any university, you will see they are teaching courses about the sustainability and they have eco-friendly ways.
