It has come to my attention that Marco Piazzalunga, a young passionate eco-activist and an active member of this community, passed away on September 25. Marco’s mother writes that he would have turned 16 this December if he had not decided to end his own life on the first day of school. I am deeply saddened to hear about the death of Piazzalunga. He always seemed like a clever, kind and strong-willed individual. I am sure he would have done a lot of good in this world. Piazzalunga will be missed by everyone in this community. His family and friends will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Luxembourg is trying out a new kind of blue road reflector that they hope will reduce car collisions with wild animals at dusk and during the night. The Luxemburger Wort reports: "Blue is considered to be a colour of danger for wild animals as it is rarely seen in nature. When a car approaches with a low beam of light, this light is reflected back along the roadside creating a kind of light fence. It is hoped that this will discourage wild animals from crossing the road. Reflectors have already been installed at intervals on roads between Weyer and Fischbach and Godbringen and Heffingen. More are expected to follow in areas where deer are known to cross roads, in the south, north and along the Moselle." Similar blue reflectors have been tested in Germany with great results - resulting in a 73% reduction of night-time accidents with wild animals.
