Violent volcanic eruptions in 539 covered Denmark with a veil of ash and sulfur gasses, and the only cereal that was able to cope with just a bit of sunshine was rye.

Our coastal waters are suffering. We are currently experiencing the biggest loss of oxygen in the water in the last 20 years. You know the stories you have seen with dead fish floating around?

Nitrogen and phosphorus are brought by rain into the sea, where it feeds the algae, which in turn consume all the oxygen available. You can check the situation near your area here.
