Nearly everything we use today has been affected by fossil fuels, and that’s a good thing. The oceans represent a significant part of daily existence. The fact that mankind has advanced to use fossil fuels to desalinate and clean up the water we use daily is a boon to human flourishing. It is completely ironic how fossil fuels continue to permit human beings to extend life, but that’s what they do. Folks say that the oceans are overrun with filth and garbage. Companies like 4Ocean are allegedly dedicated to clearing the waters. For instance, their Mobile Skimmer collects plastic waste from water bodies. It all rests on fossil fuels.

Just Clean it Up I always liked this photo because this little boy is showing exactly how far the trash can flow. I chose to write about this pressing need to clean up the ocean for this planet to continue to produce vegetation like it was before many people and their inventions, destroyed it to make life easier for all.

I don't remember how old I was when I first saw this memorable news piece about the growing concern of our planetary health on the Music Television channel. This was a time where MTV primarily only played music videos. MTV news brought the major international and domestic headlines to a young audience. It was a genius way to get the youth thinking. I remember Kurt Loder, in between videos, giving the breaking news from across the globe. The fall of the Berlin Wall, growing poverty in America, and this piece on our planet's health. This all dates me, but that fifteen-to-thirty-minute mini-documentary is still stuck in my head. It must have been Earth Day or the response to some major oil spill in our waters; I remember the Exxon Valdez oil spill vividly. The images that are still imprinted in my head were a series of shots of dense pollution from different parts of the globe. A shot of children playing in garbage piled waters in India, a bulldozer shoving massive piles of trash in a land fill in somewhere, USA; a quick shot of wildlife entangled in trash. I remember going to school the next day or perhaps maybe a few days after, and we, as a school, planted trees that would one day provide great shade for future generations. It was a celebration, the local news came out and took pictures, some of our names got in the local paper and the very lucky few got interviewed. To a kid, that moment where you find your name in the black and white print, or maybe see yourself on the local news; it was our miniscule fifteen minutes of fame. We didn't have the social media outlets like we do today. The reporters took their pictures and asked their questions. We talked about what the importance of doing our part to "save the planet," meant to us youngsters. It felt good. Couple that with watching a couple of episodes of Captain Planet in a school time pizza party, we felt like heroes. Our hands literally planted something that the future population would appreciate. They were even talking about putting a plaque on the school grounds to commemorate this single event. A plaque that read something to the effect of, planted by the whatever class of whatever year, and have all our names on it. Immortalized. The day belonged to us, we were environmentalists for one day. Then the following day came. I had the same emotional high as before, but I felt like I was the only one. I remember going out of my way to pick up litter. A piece of paper here and a soda can there. I truly felt like I was the only one who still cared after a day of such importance. Overnight, the mood of the adults went back to; normal. No fan fair of recycling, no pizza parties for planting trees or picking up trash. I, however, felt like I needed to keep this feeling going. I was not perfect nor am I perfect right now when it comes to keeping an always mindful headspace focused on our environment. It felt like I was doing my part then, and I feel like I'm still trying to make a difference now. Why? Because every so often I can visually see the fruits of my small labor.
Anthony DiazPublished 3 years ago in EarthWhat Composting Taught Me
It started with a project for an environmental science class. I was someone who struggled with gen ed credits in college. They were s boring, and I didn't see the importance of taking a million and one math, science, and sociology classes in order to get my degree and become a full-time writer. But here I was anyway, signing up for what was reportedly the easiest science credit I could score. It was even an online course!

“Sea-Shock!”
I am a dreamer, writer, crafter, and artist. My influence in many of my works incorporates the ocean. I was born and raised in Southern California, and was living every extra hour at the beautiful beaches. The sun brightly burning high above, heating bodies drenched in tanning oils, caused coconut scents to permeate the salty air.
