The view out my window is of the majestic Rocky Mountains, a healthy deer population, and a man who comes every Tuesday to collect my trash and recyclables. Despite residents recycling food waste, paper, plastic bottles, plastic bags, and corrugated boxes, recycling at this scale is ineffective against climate change. Recycling facts suggest we recycle […]
Humanity has relied on waste management systems since the beginning–it’s just the nature of things. Archeologists worldwide are finding trash deposits that tell the story of our existence. But global waste is outpacing the world’s population. We create multi-millions of tons of hazardous waste, food waste, electronic waste, and ocean pollution at alarming rates. As […]
The earth moves. For many of us, that’s about all we know about earthquakes. But there’s much more to them than we realize. We’re giving you the facts to educate and to warn you since having information is the greatest weapon we have against this force of nature. These land shifts don’t only happen on […]
Last night the wind kept me awake. It reminded me of the people and animals in Lahina who lost their lives and homes. Perhaps this wind is a precursor to the 6th extinction period. Plastic pollution also preoccupies my mind, and I’ve witnessed ocean plastic pollution on a personal level. What I saw haunts me. […]
Air pollution contributes to health and environmental problems! Air pollution began as a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution with waste from industrial facilities like factories. Polluting industries need to follow policies to protect public health. Most air pollution is created by people, including factory emissions, aerosol cans, planes, and vehicles. Second-hand cigarette smoke is also […]

It’s both the ink in our pens and the fuel for our fires. Yet, many of its tales remain untold! Carbon has […]
You’ve probably heard an enormous amount about climate change (and believe the facts or not), but we’re here to educate you further. What cannot be disputed is the uptick of natural disasters that have plagued every corner of our world. The impact they’ve had on our planet, although difficult to put into words, is something […]
.commonpostlink { display: none; } .commonpostlink.new-content { display: block; /* or “inline” or “inline-block”, depending on your desired display */ } Blue whales are magnificent creatures that have graced our oceans for over one million years.

In the distant future, perhaps we’ll look back on this moment and ask ourselves, “What on Earth were we thinking?” Then, we’ll sit back with our mouths open, speechless from shock at the footage of chickens slaughtered for human consumption. And it’s not a one-off event either. We eat and consume approximately 9 billion chickens […]
