Sustainability
The Continual Process of Reducing
It started with recycling. I remember when I was a kid and our our neighborhood began its recycling program. Only plastic types 1 and 2 could be put into the bins, so we dutifully checked the symbols, rinsed out our Diet Coke bottles, and felt like the greenest family this side of the Mississippi.

5 Tips to Reduce U.S. Carbon Emissions
As wild as this may sound, if you plan to be alive at any time during the next 100 years, atmospheric carbon is going to impact your life. While there has always been carbon in the atmosphere, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are higher today than at any other point in the last 800,000 years. [1] Over the past 60 years, annual atmospheric CO2 has risen about 100 times faster than any previous natural increase.

"Can you not also build bridges out of stone?"
There is a Monty Python skit where a rabble of pitchfork wielding peasants present a suspected witch to a medieval knight, Sir Bedivere, and ask if they can burn her. As the only man present who “hasn’t got sh*$ all over him,” Bedivere is the defacto village authority, and it falls to him to determine if this unfortunate woman is a witch? With the jostling crowd growing angrier at every passing second, Bedivere delves deep into his stores of medieval logic and pulls out an explanation: witches burn because they are made of wood. So how to prove this woman is made of wood? “Build a bridge out of her!” one man yells. Bedivere wisely considers, but then asks, “but can you not also make bridges out of stone?”

SAVING OUR OCEANS: EDUCATION & CONSERVATION.
Introduction. Beautiful and majestic, beaches have long since been the beacon of hope for castaways, prisoners of war, and the seasick; and, its oceans have served as the settings for epic battles, mythological tales, folklore, and stories of a particular pirate or a pirate’s journey, as well as historical events that took place long ago, like the Voyage of Christopher Columbus to the New World and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They also serve as a home for the many creatures living in it, like the shark, the dolphin, the whale, and even the crab; and because, the oceans serve as a medium for both man, animal, amphibian, and porifera, we as global citizens must do our part to keep our carbon blueprint down in order to preserve the very nature and purpose of our grand natural waterways for generations to come.
