On Fireworks...?
The Facts: The Question: Can we please talk about fireworks for a minute? I would like to know who is responsible for this incredibly poor decision making. Let's review the facts. Fireworks are among the leading causes of wildfires in California. I just read a BBC News Article that describes a couple that decided it was a great idea to reveal the gender of their child with an explosion. The smoke bomb caused a fire that killed a brave firefighter and caused injuries to many others. Properties damaged. Beautiful landscapes burned. All in the name of what? Wanting to see like two seconds of fire. What a way to bring a child into the world. Boom.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports that three-quarters of the world's fishing grounds are overfished, exploited, or depleted. Sustainable seafood refers to seafood that has been harvested in a way that takes into account the long-term impact on marine species and the livelihoods of fishing-dependent communities, as well as long-term fishing and ecosystems. By choosing sustainable seafood, you can eliminate such practices as bottom fishing where boats roll over nets, catch anything that comes in their way, and push fish that have fallen or died on the sea.

I’m not an environmental fanatic. However, I want to do my small part to help the planet. As a Gen-Xer (80’s child), the phrase, “reduce, reuse, and recycle” had been seared into my memory from infomercials and school assemblies. This phrase originated in the 1970’s when people became more conscious of trying to save the planet from pollution etc.

The Swine of Legion
The pigs were playing, dancing in the rays of new daylight coming through the wood of the old barn they'd always called home. Simeon would be home soon and he was a task master. They'd better get their kicks in before then. Besides, they were tired, from a night spent sucking blood.

Our work provides clear, comprehensive proof that deforestation will increase malaria via econometric strategies that approach the gold preferred of randomized managed trials, even though observational data from controlled experiments are impossible. The effect of deforestation on malaria is greatest inside the early levels of deforestation in amazon, while habitats at the edge of the wooded area are enlarged to promote mosquito breeding, habitat survival and human sampling [5, 6, 15], however they weaken as forest loss advances and margins cut back as human settlements grow and forests are cleared [10, 21].

Ronke BabajidePublished 13 days ago in Earth3Rs: Recycle, Reuse, Reduce
Manufacturing waste can no longer be averted while an item is reused, and one method of reuse is upcycling, i.E. The manufacture of handicrafts. Which means basically most manufacturing waste may be reduced from the outset. The primary precedence is to lessen or avoid waste technology at the beginning of the process.
