This visual creation is a reflection of the unthinkable turns of events that occurred in our world in the last months. And the feeling of emptiness that followed. It is also a message to respect and the urge to protect our Mother Earth.
Will water stress lead to the next big war?
Cape Town 2017-18. The scary episode of Water stress. Reservoirs and dams in the South African western cape were hovering between 15-30% of their capacity. There was a widespread fear of an imminent water-stress induced doomsday, designated as ‘day zero’ when all municipal supply would cease, and people would have to queue up in order to receive their water ration. The administration implemented severe restrictions and penalties and eventually the water level in the dams rose to 70% capacity. The country heaved a sigh of collective relief. But not forever.

Resting at the top of a mountain with a crystal blue lake nestled at the foot would be my dream home in the perfect location. To access the house, there would be a 30' driveway that would lead to a garage door. The garage would be inside of the mountain, so that vehicles going by would never know that someone was lived in the area.

For those unsure, Alan Watts was a leading writer, speaker, and philosopher of the 20th century who focused on spreading Eastern ideologies to the West. His extensive collection of lectures and written pieces covered various spiritual-based topics such as ego, consciousness, the Universe, and the experience of life itself. At times, he also extended his spiritual teachings into the public sector by using them in discussion of current social issues.

David Whitaker plugged in his new Samsung Galaxy S9 into his phone charger, thinking it may be the last chance he got to charge his phone for a few days. Ever since the Australian Government introduced its latest Green Scheme back home, its cuts to greenhouse emissions were being felt in all Australian owned territories, including Mawson Research Station at the South Pole. I mean here they were in the South Pole, one of the coldest places on the planet, and the Australian Government wanted to make sure they weren’t contributing to the global warming phenomenon sweeping the globe.
Matthew DawsonPublished 4 years ago in FuturismWhat Happens When The Earth's Magnetic Field reverses It's Polarity?
From time to time, one reads about new signs that we are currently in the middle of a reversal period of the magnetic poles of our earth. Every new message about it immediately calls the catastrophe theorists and end-time prophets on the scene. Scientists, who deny the topic any explosiveness, are speaking out against these. So where's the truth now? Do we have to worry, or may we sit back and relax?

René JungePublished 4 years ago in FuturismEnviron-MENTAL
I did not realize until recently that there would be a day when civil rights, women’s rights or even my constitutional rights would take a back seat to my environmental rights. I mean Rosa Parks stood up when she sat down, but I do not believe she saw a day when a seat at the back of the bus would take a back seat to environmental survival and environmental injustice. I am here to report that as a victim of environmental injustice, I can quickly draw the parallels to violations of rights of any kind. It is very strange to wake up in the morning and ponder whether or not I am going to breathe today. It is even more strange and peculiar to see other people still acting and talking in a normal way that are not plagued with such a problem. I now count it strange when I do not have to think about breathing or think about the air that I am breathing. There is nothing so gruesome! Who can enjoy a day off from work when one is concerned about whether the environment in which one lives is safe and sound? Who can enjoy a walk with one’s dog or perhaps, just a walk, when one is concerned about the environment?

London's River Thames is full of secrets: home to human teeth, deadly Amazonian Piranha, and "hyperactive" eels predisposed to swimming in high cocaine concentrations.

As if, we have had enough environmental issues with the global warming, and the COVID-19 mess, a Sahara dust storm is causing us more health drama since it will give people inflammation response such as sinus symptoms, making a person feel sick and lethargic, and congestion from a runny nose. Sahara dust could contribute to cardiovascular problems. The dust does contribute to beautiful sunsets and sunrises. When the dust storm hit early in late June/July, it caused major allergies in easily allergic people.
