How has the current situation helped the planet?

The planet earth is breathing

 The appearance and spread of the Coronavirus or Covid-19 has led us to stay home to take care of ourselves and protect our loved ones.  This time of quarantine has become an opportunity to stop and reflect, for example, on the environmental impact on our planet Earth.

Despite a decline in pollution in countries like China and Italy battling COVID-19, global carbon dioxide levels have so far been higher than last year.  Experts also warn of a possible extreme rise in emissions after the emergency ends, just as it did after the 2008 financial crisis.
