How a Coin for Carbon Might Revolutionize the Way We Deal With Climate Change?
If there's one thing we know, it's that climate change is an issue that needs to be dealt with urgently. And while many people are working hard to find solutions, one of the most effective ways of fighting climate change is by using economic incentives. That's why we're excited to introduce you to a new kind of currency called a carbon coin. As the name suggests, this coin is designed to help fight climate change by helping to reduce carbon emissions.

Summer Strawberries 🍓
There is something particularly wonderful about strawberries. I’ve never had a summer that doesn’t involve these sweet little fruits. They aren’t the same when you buy them in January. They always seem so sad, sitting half stale in their little plastic boxes. They never last either, looking sadder and sadder at the back of the fridge until they’re finally tossed. Like most fruits and vegetables, they are better right off the plant, out in the sunshine. Preferably picked barefoot with a drink in your hand.

Spring Beware the World Wide Nature of the Wild
If Red Riding Hood or Goldilocks could bite back then this story wouldn't need written. There may be no such thing as 3 bears in fairy tales or Winnie the Pooh may not be so entertaining to the brave and daring but I for one think people's awareness should be raised when it comes to dangerous wildlife raising its head every spring. Not just in Canada either.

The Sky IS Falling
I find it hard to believe how many people, especially rich and privileged people can blithely ignore this basic fact. This is mostly in the name of corporate profits, which is always going to be an ongoing issue. But this is a survival issue that involves all of us, rich or poor.

My Top Ten Favorite Trees
I love trees. They are simply the most fantastic things to grace our Earth. Their majesty is mind-boggling. They start from the smallest seed and rise to become a giant of nature. They are the most recognizable part of the world. Anywhere green, probably has trees. They are the staple that offer me some solace. Their stagnant stance forever upright. From the Jacob to the Sequoia, they are unbelievable. But, what are the best trees? Well, I have my pick, of ten, so lets get into it.

The Berry Best Summer Food
To me, there is only one flavor that says “summertime”. I will admit, it’s not that common unless you’re from the Pacific Northwest. While I certainly love hot dogs, corn on the cob, or s’mores cooked over a campfire… none of those will ever evoke the same nostalgia and simple joy I get from eating the humble blackberry.

Why Most People Don’t Care About Climate Change
It’s the most pressing problem in the world, but have you ever tried to talk about climate change at a dinner party? You might have been met with gaping mouths, empty stares, and been accused of being full of doom and gloom. Then there are the shoulder shrugs, the head nods, and the feigned interest, “Yeah, that sucks. What about those 49ers huh?”

Corn
If anyone were to ask me what food reminds me of summer, my answer would not be ice cream. It also wouldn’t be snow cones from the sno shack. Nor would it be the delectable watermelon…because I don’t like watermelon. No, it would be that yellow pillar of deliciousness. That multi-purpose kernel of everything that we love about food. We use a body part to describe it because why not? Everyone has ears and everyone loves corn. Well not everyone, but we can’t all be perfect, can we?

Planting flowers
Planting flowers, in the young mind, is to pinch off the flowers and bury them in the soil, water them, and wait day after day. Until the surrounding flowers are thanked, those in the soil or no movement. Later read the Dream of the Red Chamber, know that is buried flowers, carry a flower hoe, dig a pit, sweeping out the red buried flowers soul. So much so that later in the network, do not forget to use the time of the falling flowers as a network nickname.
