I stumbled upon this beautiful market scene while exploring the local streets early this morning. The vibrant display of golden marigolds immediately drew my attention - these flowers are commonly used for temple offerings and special ceremonies here in Vietnam. What struck me most was the quiet conversation between vendors during a slow moment in the market day. The gentleman sat patiently on his red plastic stool while the lady in purple carefully arranged her flower bundles. Behind them, the market continued with its usual rhythm - pomelos stacked in yellow crates, scales ready for weighing, and the everyday tools of street commerce. This authentic slice of Vietnamese market life perfectly captures the human connections that make these local markets so special.

Description:
This footage captures the ongoing and unregulated cutting of trees for charcoal production in and around Tripoli, Libya. The video shows workers using chainsaws and axes to fell large trees, which are then processed into charcoal using primitive, open-air burning methods. The activity is taking place in forested and semi-urban areas without any visible oversight from environmental authorities or local police. Despite the severe environmental consequences—loss of green cover, soil erosion, and increased desertification—these operations continue unchecked due to weak enforcement and the absence of environmental policing. Charcoal is then sold for domestic and commercial use, making it a profitable activity for those involved, but one that comes at a high environmental cost.
