  Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, 
  Eating a Christmas pie; 
  He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum 
  And said, "What a good boy am I!" 
  LITTLE JACK HORNER lived in an old, tumble-down house at the edge of a big wood; and there many generations of Horners had lived before him, and had earned their living by chopping wood. Jack's father and mother were both dead, and he lived with his grandfather and grandmother, who took great pains to teach him all that a boy should know. 
  They lived very comfortably and happily together until one day a great tree fell upon Grandpa Horner and crushed his legs; and from that time on he could not work at all, but had to be nursed and tended very carefully. 
  This calamity was a great affliction to the Horners. Grandma Horner had a little money saved up in an old broken teapot that she kept in the cupboard, but that would not last them a great time, and when it was gone they would have nothing with which to buy food. But little Jack was a brave and hard working little lad who tried as best he could to help his grandparents earn a few pennies for food. Then, he rescued a stranger in a bog and their fortunes took a turn for the better. But you had best listen to the whole story to see why Jack had such a plum pie to eat that Christmas day!

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Environmental conservation has long been portrayed as a noble and essential pursuit—one aimed at safeguarding the planet's ecosystems and securing a sustainable future. From tree planting campaigns to the protection of endangered species, the image of environmentalism has often been one of hope and progress. Yet beneath this well-crafted narrative lies a complex, often uncomfortable truth that few are willing to confront. Despite decades of environmental initiatives, the state of our planet continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate, and many of the efforts we believe are making a difference may, in fact, be little more than a facade. 
    
  The shocking reality is that many conservation efforts, though well-intentioned, have been ineffective or even counterproductive. Corporate interests, government policies, and misleading claims about “green” products have created an illusion of progress while exacerbating the very problems they are supposed to address. Major corporations, under the guise of corporate social responsibility, engage in environmental degradation on an unprecedented scale, often using conservation as a marketing tool to distract from their harmful practices. In parallel, governments, despite claiming to prioritize environmental issues, often fall short in enacting meaningful change due to political and economic pressures. 
    
  Furthermore, the term "conservation" itself is often misused, with projects that promise to restore ecosystems sometimes masking the exploitation of natural resources. While wildlife preservation and habitat restoration are vital components of environmental protection, they are frequently treated as standalone solutions that fail to address the root causes of environmental destruction, such as overconsumption and industrial pollution.
