Hi all you lovely readers!
It’s that time of the week – Mamamia’s weekly Open Post!
If you’re new here, Open Post is where we come together as a community and debrief about our weeks.
But first, a little bit about myself. My name is Sumnima (pronounced sue-mm-ni-maa) and I’m one of Mamamia’s interns.
I’m originally from Nepal but I’ve been in Sydney for awhile, doing my journalism degree.
This week, I am just trying really hard to be as environmentally sustainable as I can. Just in case you didn’t know, this week is National Recycling Week.
Yesterday I read that coffee cups are not recyclable. Considering I drink hundreds of coffees a year, I felt pretty guilty. From now on, I’m going to drink my coffee from a reusable cup.
Now, I’m not trying to be some sort of eco-warrier. But I am definitely going to think of simple things I can do to help the environment around us.
That’s all from me! Tell me, Mamamia readers, what is happening at your end?

Did you guys see this? Appalling! An American woman who was subject to long term domestic abuse is serving a 30-year prison sentence for failing to prevent her boyfriend from beating their kids. Her boyfriend, Robert Braxton Jr., got a two-year prison sentence for beating them. WTF?

That is truly outrageous. I despair.
I've been reading up about comets today and have a question:
Where are all the articles about the Rosetta Mission, HUH!? This is an amazing feat by some amazing scientists and this could tell us HOW LIFE ON EARTH BEGAN! Articles, please, or I'll write one.
I am in awe of the fact that they have landed on a comet which is travelling through space at I don't know how many miles a minute. I have no idea how they did it, but I marvel at their brilliance.
It's amazing. I cannot wait to see what they find.
It's really very exciting, isn't it?
Me, too!
