Waves of Plastic
The stress and chaos of everyday life can be overwhelming. For some, a vacation is just what they need to de-stress and take a break from reality. My vacation would consist of sitting on the soft silky sand on a beach in Maine, watching the ocean waves crash against the rocks and flow up on the shore, washing over my feet with a margarita in hand. However, with the amount of pollution that is taking over our Oceans, soon they will be just another landfill if we don’t do something.
Shanz R. SmithPublished 3 years ago in EarthFive Ways My Family Is Reducing Our Carbon Footprint This Year
Climate Change is a crisis we all have to worry about. It will be the single most impactful element in every corner of our life. One of the biggest contributors to the climate crisis is our individual carbon footprint. What is our carbon footprint? In simple terms, it is the amount of energy we consume and expel that directly impacts the health of the Earth and contributes to the climate change issues we are experiencing today.

It is the most abundant fuel in the universe and when you burn it the only byproduct of the combustion reaction is water. More than this it has three times the potential energy than petroleum so the question really becomes, why are we not using it to power everything? Well there are several answers to that question, but the most surprising one is we are already.

What is there to do during a global pandemic besides playing UNO with your five-year-old son, painting with your fourteen-year-old daughter, and preserving our Mother Nature?
Saint BakerPublished 3 years ago in EarthThe Future of Earth | The ultimate change of our planet explained briefly.
The Future of Earth and the life on it. The future of life on earth and the structure of the earth can be ruled out depending on the limited effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry of the earth's surface, the degree of cooling the interior of the planet, the interaction of gravity and other elements in the Solar System, and the further increase in sunlight. What is uncertain about this release is the continuing influence of man-made technologies, such as climate engineering, that could revolutionize the world. The current extinction of the Holocene is due to technology and the effects can last up to five million years. Also, technology could lead to the extinction of humanity, leaving the planet to slowly return to the gradual evolution of long-term natural processes.

Dear Earth aka my favorite woman, It’s become clear to me, after my fourth ego death retreat, that I simply have been a half baked, carbon breathing A.S.S. Hole to you.

Ever wondered the newspapers your house collects are actually the doors for your input to the better future. The houses we live in are made of concrete which by the way are one of the major carbon emitting sources of green house gases and they can be easily replaced with materials like Fly Ash, Silica Fume, and Wood Ash typically called green alternative for conventional concrete. There are many more such cautious choices we make uncautiously. Let's embark on a journey where we can make better choices for a better world.

Chloe GilholyPublished 3 years ago in EarthThe Global Warming & Impact
A global war is raging over an ocean at the very top of the world. Global warming has affected the Arctic over the last three decades. While most of the world views this as a looming catastrophe, five Arctic nations stand to gain. As the ice melts, the United States, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Russia see an opportunity for new trading routes and potentially lucrative natural resource deals. This paper will explore the origins of this conflict and the consequences (dire and sound) of owning this resource-rich property.
Maulik BorsaniyaPublished 3 years ago in EarthMy Lifetime Love Affair With Cotton
When I'm asked what items of clothing I'd like to see come back in fashion, I'd easily say all-cotton baggy, comfortable jeans and cargo pants for women with lots of big pockets... and maybe 100% cotton over-sized t-shirts, not too high on the neckline but not so low that my bra is exposed.
Julia SchulzPublished 3 years ago in EarthYou Gotta Put Your Behind In Your Past
My wish is not for the reinvigoration of one specific style. What I seek is a return to simpler times when clothing was made by an individual, rather than purchased from a fast-fashion site or big brand store. A time when each article of clothing was unique and made with love.
