Greeny and the Heart of Mount Everest
A Journey to Protect Nature’s Greatest Treasure
In a world where nature’s magic weaves through every leaf and stone, there lives a small but brave guardian named Greeny. Greeny isn’t just any creature—part leaf, part forest spirit—whose heart beats in tune with the wild. His home is the peaceful Mossglade forest, where the trees whisper secrets and the streams sing melodies. But when a mysterious shadow spreads across the forest, Greeny hears a call unlike any before—a call from the highest mountain on Earth: Mount Everest is located in the Himalayan mountain range on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world, is more than just a towering summit of ice and rock. For centuries, the mountain has held a secret known as the Heart of Mount Everest—a glowing crystal said to contain the very essence of nature’s balance. This Heart pulses with the life force of forests, rivers, and skies far beyond its snowy peaks. But now, the Heart’s light is fading, threatening not only the mountain’s majesty but the harmony of nature itself.
- The Call to Adventure
Greeny knows that the fate of Mossglade and all the world’s wild places depends on restoring the Heart’s glow. Guided by whispers from the ancient trees and the wise elders of Mossglade, Greeny sets off on a journey that will take him far from his familiar woods to the icy slopes of Mount Everest.Along the way, Greeny meets remarkable friends who will help him on this perilous quest. First is Yeti, a gentle giant who has long protected the mountain’s secrets. Despite his fearsome appearance, Yeti has a heart full of kindness and a deep understanding of the mountain’s mysteries. Then there’s Snowfeather, a majestic eagle whose keen eyes can see miles across the snowy ridges, guiding Greeny through dangerous paths. Finally, Pebble, a spirited rock guardian, joins the group with his unshakable courage and knowledge of the mountain’s hidden caves.
- Facing the Elements
The journey is not easy. As Greeny and his friends climb higher, they face biting winds, treacherous ice, and swirling snowstorms that test their resolve. But Greeny’s courage never falters. Each challenge teaches him more about the fragile beauty of the natural world and the importance of protecting it.In one moment of quiet reflection by a glowing glacier, Greeny learns from Yeti the true meaning of balance. It’s not just about strength or power—it’s about respect, kindness, and living in harmony with every creature and every plant.
- The Heart of the Mountain
At last, Greeny and his companions reach the summit where the Heart of Mount Everest lies nestled in ancient ice. The crystal is dim, barely flickering. Greeny approaches with a leaf glowing softly from his own chest—a symbol of his connection to the forest below.Placing the leaf gently on the Heart, Greeny whispers a promise to protect nature and all its wonders. Slowly, the crystal’s light begins to grow, spreading warmth and life through the mountain. The snow sparkles, the wind sings, and the mountain seems to breathe with renewed strength.
- Restoring Harmony
- Greeny’s journey reminds us that even the smallest among us can make a difference. The Heart of Mount Everest is more than a magical crystal—it is a symbol of the delicate balance that sustains life on Earth. Mountains, forests, rivers, and skies are all connected, and protecting one means caring for all. As Greeny returns to Mossglade, the forest blooms brighter than ever. The birds sing songs of hope, the trees stretch their branches toward the sun, and the streams dance with joy. Greeny knows his mission is just beginning, but he also knows that with courage, friendship, and love for nature, anything is possible.
- Why This Story Matters
“Greeny and the Heart of Mount Everest” is more than a tale of adventure—it’s a call to action. Our planet faces many challenges, from climate change to habitat loss. Through Greeny’s eyes, we see the beauty and fragility of nature and understand why it’s vital to protect it.
Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth, reminds us of the vastness and wonder of our world. The Heart of the Mountain teaches us that nature’s magic is everywhere—sometimes hidden, sometimes shining bright. And that magic lives within each of us, in every small act of kindness toward the earth. In the end, Greeny’s story is a beacon of hope: that by standing together, respecting our planet, and nurturing the balance of nature, we can keep the Heart of Mount Everest—and the whole Earth—alive for generations to come.

Life Underwater
The Earth is often called the “blue planet” because most of its surface is covered by water. Beneath these waters lies an entire world that many people never see with their own eyes. Life underwater is a mystery, a wonder, and a source of survival for both sea creatures and humans. The ocean is not just a huge body of water—it is a home, a protector, and a provider. Exploring this hidden world helps us understand how important it is to care for our planet.

Microbiota, microbiome or microflora: how to speak correctly and why it is for health.
You've probably heard the phrase, "We are what we eat." But modern science says more precisely: we are also those who live in us. Until 2016, it was believed that there are many times more bacteria in our body than our own cells. The latest calculations by mathematicians show that we divide the body with our microorganisms by about 50/50: about 30 trillion of our cells versus 38 trillion bacterial ones.

Chinese EVs Closing In on America After Canadian Tariffs Deal
The electric vehicle race is no longer just about climate goals or consumer choice — it has become a geopolitical contest. And in early 2026, a subtle but powerful move by Canada may have tilted the board. By agreeing to sharply reduce tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, Canada has opened a door that the United States has worked hard to keep shut. While Chinese EVs are still largely barred from the American market, they are now edging closer than ever — not by crossing the border directly, but by entering through Canada. This development raises a pressing question: Are Chinese EVs closing in on America, and what does that mean for the future of North American auto markets? The Deal That Changed the Game Canada’s new agreement with China allows up to 49,000 Chinese-made electric vehicles per year to enter the Canadian market at a tariff rate of just over 6%, a dramatic drop from the previous 100% tariff that effectively blocked them. On paper, the quota seems small. In reality, it carries enormous symbolic and strategic weight. For years, both Canada and the United States aligned closely on keeping Chinese EVs out, citing concerns over unfair subsidies, national security, and the protection of domestic auto industries. This new deal marks a clear shift — and a divergence from U.S. policy. Canada didn’t make the decision in isolation. The EV tariff reduction was part of a broader trade reset with China, tied to agricultural exports such as canola and efforts to stabilize a strained economic relationship. Why Chinese EVs Matter So Much China is the undisputed leader of the global electric vehicle industry. Its manufacturers produce EVs at scale, often at prices Western automakers struggle to match. Brands like BYD, Nio, and Xpeng have already expanded aggressively into Europe, Southeast Asia, and parts of the Middle East. North America has remained one of the final fortified markets — until now. Chinese EVs are appealing not just because they’re cheaper, but because they’ve rapidly improved in quality, range, and technology. For consumers priced out of North American and European EV models, Chinese vehicles offer something rare: affordability without sacrificing features. Canada’s decision gives Chinese automakers their first legitimate foothold in North America — and footholds tend to grow. Why the U.S. Is Nervous The United States still enforces a 100% tariff on Chinese EV imports, making them effectively unsellable in the American market. But Canada’s move has triggered concern in Washington. U.S. officials argue that Chinese EVs entering Canada could indirectly pressure American markets, influence supply chains, and weaken Washington’s leverage in future trade negotiations. There’s also a political dimension. Both major U.S. parties have framed Chinese dominance in EVs as a strategic threat — not just to auto jobs, but to technological leadership. Modern EVs collect vast amounts of data, and lawmakers have raised concerns about cybersecurity and foreign data access. While Chinese EVs aren’t rolling onto American roads yet, their presence just across the border changes the conversation. Canada’s Risk — and Opportunity Inside Canada, the reaction has been mixed. Automotive hubs like Ontario worry that opening the market could undermine domestic manufacturing and strain relations with the U.S., Canada’s largest trading partner. Some leaders have called the deal “lopsided,” warning it could cost jobs if American retaliation follows. Others see opportunity. A more competitive EV market could lower prices for Canadian consumers and accelerate EV adoption. It may also attract Chinese investment into Canada itself — including factories, battery plants, and supply chain partnerships. If Chinese automakers choose to build in Canada rather than simply export to it, the country could position itself as a bridge between Chinese EV innovation and North American demand. That balancing act — between economic opportunity and political risk — defines Canada’s strategy. Are Chinese EVs Really ‘Closing In’ on America? For now, the answer is: not directly — but strategically, yes. Chinese EVs sold in Canada won’t automatically flood the U.S. market. Regulations, trade rules, and tariffs still stand in the way. But proximity matters. Supply chains overlap. Consumer awareness spreads. Manufacturing footprints expand. There’s also the possibility of a workaround: Chinese companies could eventually build EVs in North America to bypass tariffs altogether. This idea has already been floated — but it faces fierce resistance from U.S. lawmakers and unions. Still, history shows that once a global industry leader gains regional access, momentum often follows. What This Means for Consumers For Canadian buyers, the impact could be immediate: more choice and lower prices in an EV market that has long been criticized for being expensive and limited. For American consumers, the effect will be indirect — at least at first. But increased competition could eventually pressure U.S. automakers to reduce prices, improve features, and accelerate innovation. The larger question is whether North America wants competition or insulation — and how long insulation can realistically last in a globalized EV economy. The Bigger Picture: A Global EV Power Shift Canada’s tariff deal reflects a broader reality: China’s dominance in electric vehicles is reshaping global trade, whether governments like it or not. Europe is already grappling with an influx of Chinese EVs. Emerging markets are embracing them. And now, North America has its first real crack in the wall. This isn’t just about cars. It’s about who controls the future of clean transportation, supply chains, and industrial policy. Final Thoughts Chinese EVs aren’t driving down American highways yet — but after Canada’s tariff deal, they’re closer than ever. This move doesn’t spell immediate disruption, but it does signal a shift. One country has decided that economic pragmatism outweighs political alignment. And in doing so, Canada may have opened the door to a new phase of EV competition in North America. Whether that door swings wider — or slams shut — will depend on how the U.S., automakers, and consumers respond. One thing is certain: the EV race just entered a new chapter.
