COVID and the environment. Perhaps the planet enjoys a little social distance from humans?

Among the many important stories about COVID and our communities, I've been noticing some other articles and reports.

For example, it has been interesting to note the effect of social distancing on the environment. The air quality above Los Angeles improved drastically, as streets emptied. The European Space Agency reports a big drop in air pollution over China. Dolphins and fish are being noticed again in the channels of Venice, who's waters have become clear. Air pollution in major cities accounts for a certain percentage of respiratory illness. Will we see a "COVID effect", where rates of illness drop in correlation to the period of time we now spend in social isolation (and away from our cars)? You can be sure that this data will be pored over in the coming years.

Scientists are intensely interested, because now is the only chance to study what happens to our environment when it is temporarily unburdened by the "virus" of human machines. Are we getting a glimpse of what our skies, lakes and rivers will look like when we make the switch to cleaner energy?

Anyway, something to think about.

Attention aux Québécois ! Quelle expression utilisez-vous pour décrire le froid extrême ? Par exemple, à Winnipeg, nous dirons «today is bone-chilling cold» ou « https://youtu.be/_RrBg2sG8C0 ».

French Pronunciation : passé composé / imparfait : Quelle est la différence ? I have been assuming that verbs have the exact same sound whether they are conjugated in passé composé or imparfait. For example, I thought that chanté and chantais were pronounced the exact same way, and you tell the difference by listening for the preceding words... J'ai chanté <-- passé composé Je chantais <-- imparfait I'm told NON, this is wrong ! The verb is ALSO pronounced differently ! I'm looking for examples online so that I can work on this accent, but I've only found this one... https://youtu.be/cMEAsj9T6CI ...to be honest, I don't hear much of a difference at all. Can someone explain the difference, or point me to a video which has lots of examples?

en faux-bourdon Je lis un roman qui a la phrase..." à bas! reprit le petit Jehan en faux-bourdon " Que signifie "faux-bourdon"? Je pense qu'en anglais ce serait " he droned ", Mais peut-être pas. Je vois en ligne que le "faux-bourdon" est aussi un style de chant. Dans le roman, Jehan parle parmi beaucoup d'autres voix. Peut-être que la traduction est " he harmonized " ou quelque chose comme ça.

agir ou d'agir "Pour l'ONU c'est notre dernière chance d'agir réellement." agir = to act Why is it necessary to add the (d') in this phrase? Why not say... "Pour l'ONU c'est notre dernière chance agir réellement."

Pourquoi "dépasser" ? Dans le roman que je suis en train de lis, Kino trouve une perle de valeur... "Dans la perle, il vit comment ils seraient habillés: Juana dans une châle neuf, tout raide de nouveauté, et au bas de la longue jupe, Kino vit dépasser ses pieds chaussés de souliers." Pourquoi "dépasser ses pieds" ? Pourquoi pas "Kino vit ses pieds chaussés de souliers" ?
