The Effects of a Nuclear War
As geopolitical tensions rise in nuclear-armed states, we start wondering what would happen if a nuclear war started. The horrific devastation and suffering witnessed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 warn us of the dangers of such a nuclear war. At that time different organizations began documenting the effects of the nuclear explosions on human health, and the environment. The blast wave, the thermal wave, and the radiation generated by nuclear explosions have devastating short and long-term effects on the human body.
Mass Extinction
Mass Extinction: Oceans Our planet today is arguably facing the biggest mass extinction event of history which would destroy billions of years of fossils, artifacts, and species development/diversity that has grown over the millions of years between extinction events. This type of genetic diversity and evolution would take millions of years to form again, especially for human organisms to form as they once had.
A Moment Of Silence Please
On Friday February 11, 2022, Australia officially declared Koalas to be an endangered species. This heartbreaking revelation deserves a moment of silence from every single human being on this planet…

Trees are Not for Poor People
While mocking tree equity, critics of the provision ignore what it's like to die of extreme heat. When core body temperature reaches a hundred and four degrees and higher, a person can become confused or lost in delirium, nonresponsive. Heat-stroke victims are consumed by nausea and difficulty breathing. They vomit. They can't hold water. Finally, the body breaks down. Organs fail and emit toxins. It is a painful, often lonely death. It's also a preventable one.

I know how good being in nature can make me feel. I have known it for since I was a child. The sounds of the forest, the scent of the trees, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the flowers in bloom— these things give me a sense of comfort. They ease my stress and allow me focus to first thing in the morning, it gives me to time relax and to think more clearly. Being in nature can restore my mood, give me back my energy and vitality, refresh and rejuvenate me. I have a deep appreciation for beautiful landscapes.

Wildfires increasingly plague the inland Northwest each summer. Not only does this destroy homes, land, and affect air quality, in 2018 alone it cost Washington state $173,685,041 in damages (USDA Forest Service, 2018). The fire season continues to increase with warmer temperatures earlier in the season and draught being a common occurrence each summer. This allows fuels to dry out, which are also increasing due to the continuing expansion of invasive grasses such as cheatgrass. This causes millions of acres of land to become prime flammable areas. Although the very wet and cold winters of the region do help some, they more often cause an overgrowth of vegetation in the spring which then dries out and adds to the fuel later in the season. Of course, climate change is one of the most common explanations for this, but fire policy is another. The way that this is managed has not caused an increase in the number of fires, but an increase in fire intensity and acres burnt (Ward, 2018).
Jessica R FauncePublished 2 years ago in EarthMy dream is love
There has been a lump in my throat for a while now. I knew it had something to do with expression, but I just didn’t know what to express until now. It was love. You see I’m a person that has an infinite amount of love in me, for everyone and everything. I just kept it in for so long because how do you express something that is infinite? Let me tell you how. You start with gratitude.
How Do We Live in an Anti-Ecological Environment … Four Differences and One Answer
If Ecology rules in a certain environment, where does Anti-Ecology rule? I still vividly remember driving through the orchards in early spring in our region celebrated for fruit growing like apples, cherries, apricots, plums and more. The farmers were driving their tractors hitched to large spray tanks up and down rows of trees. They were dressed safely, with necessity I presume, in moon suits...covered from head with cap, mask and goggles to feet with heavy foam insulated boots. Not an inch of skin was exposed while they sprayed probably some kinds of fungicidal chemicals to avoid plant diseases and insect pests on the trees from the time flowers were opening to several times before the fruit was picked.

In 2021 ESG was one of the fastest growing investments. This is also the result of the current climate and health crisis, as well as by more transparent and systematic ESG reporting and disclosures.
Andrea ZanonPublished 2 years ago in EarthNature’s World Cries Out for More Eco-Fiction Writers to Save Our Planet
What is your understanding of the word ecology? Ecology entered a broader cultural phase in the 1960’s and 1970’s when people became more interested in natural environmental issues and species within human connections.
