Former mining area, China
During this virtual guided nature tour in China close to Liupanshui City in the Guizhou Province we explore nature. We enjoy strolling toward waterfalls and pass ruins on the way. The many plants and the chirping of birds and cicadas lets us forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you take the guided tour in the subtitles, you will learn the answer to this question. (Answer is provided underneath the pictures; click on the downward arrow to expand the answer.)
What percentage of carbon does coal typically contain due to its origin from plant remains?
19%
54%
84%
Coal develops over millions of years, by plant leftovers being pressed together and heated by the weight of the layers above. As coal consists of plant leftovers and plants contain roughly 45% of carbon obtained from CO2 in the atmosphere, coal contains a lot of carbon as well: about 84%!

Grishko Garden, Ukraine
While enjoying our walk through Grishko Garden, we didn't notice anything from the war going on in Kyiv. But something did happen to this picture! It is all scrambled up! Can you please restore it?
This is how the game works: bring the tiles in the correct order by moving them around. The black tile is empty. Tiles surrounding this empty tile can be moved there by clicking on them.

Hobokense Polder, Belgium
While enjoying the Hobokense Polder in Belgium, we passed some galloway cows. Can you find the secret code of this Bulls and Cows game? (The answer is provided underneath the puzzle; click on the downward arrow to expand the answer.)
This is how the game works: it is similar to the game MasterMind; you enter a 4-digit code. The computer compares it with the secret code and gives you two clues, the numbers of "bulls" and "cows". A bull means that one of your digits is in the correct position. A cow means one of your digits is in the to-be-guessed-code, but in a different position. For example, if the secret code is 2056 and you ask 9516, the answer will be "one bull and one cow". It doesn't give a hint about which digit is a bull and which digit is a cow. That is for you to find out!

Which of these products can potentially still be found under this nature reserve?
Polystyrene box
Polystyrene takes up to 500 years or even more to decompose! This is mentioned at 4:23 in the guided tour. So, a take-away box can potentially still be found in the ground!
Plastic bag
A plastic bag can take 20 to 500 years to decompose. Problematic though is that it breaks down into microplastics, which stay around in the environment for a very long time as well! This is mentioned at 4:23 in the guided tour. So, a plastic bag can potentially still be found in the ground!
Food waste
As food waste is organic material, it doesn't take long to decompose. The leftovers can for example be used as nutrients for plants. So, food waste cannot be found in the ground.
Paper packaging
Paper can be decomposed in 2 to 6 weeks, although recycling paper is more environmentally friendly. Whether the dye used for printing pollutes the soil depends on the type of dye. So, paper packaging cannot be found in the ground!
Coffee filter
As this coffee filter is made of paper, it is biodegradable. The same applies to the coffee in it; this is even a great fertilizer! So, a paper coffee filter can potentially still be found in the ground!
Paper bag
A paper bag also degrades relatively quickly, but as it is in this case wrapped in plastic, it will take a lot longer. So, a paper bag within a plastic bag can potentially still be found in the ground!
