Earth Day (April 22, 2022) is a good day for business
While I understand not all are on board with the sustainability agenda, and some like the billionaire Peter Thiel believes that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has been forced on us by the government, I am going to argue we should all embrace it as it is good for our lives, and it is good for business. Let’s be clear though, there are both flaws and opportunities in ESG and while regulating markets at time is necessary, we believe in market forces and ethical capitalism to lead the way.

Poseidon Claims Another One
Ah! Poseidon – the god of the seas and waterways, creator of storms, and bringer of destruction. For now, we’ll forget that he’s also considered the god of horses and earthquakes. Living in Florida, I can only imagine him with his trident in hand, wreaking havoc with the seas. Every time we experience a severe storm, I think of him and his anger – what caused it this time?

Stop Bad Mouthing Sharks
Shark attacks are something many people fear when they go to the beach, surf, or scuba dive. The fear of the large jaws with multiple rows of teeth which can easily bite off a limb swarms the minds of people. Many might believe that sharks are out to get humans just like many movies show. Jaws was the kickstart to this fear. The four-movie series movie has the shark coming back to attach again and again. Sharks are marine animals which travel thousands of miles each year. The Great White Shark is even said to travel up to 50 miles per day. It’s very rare for a shark to attack again as they are continously moving. Most sharks cannot stop moving or they would die. If they do not have water moving through their gills they are unable to breath.

Making Survival Accessible
Many have researched climate change and its impacts on the human experience as the state of the earth worsen. However, like many fields of study, the concept of intersectionality is often missing, meaning certain point of views are not included, such as the ones of people with disabilities. The text below will look at the reasons why disabled people are likely to be more vulnerable to the consequences of climate change, reasons such as the ableist vision of disability as fatal, and the overall deepening of already existing inequalities created by climate change. The text will also examine the way the Human rights of disabled people are likely to be affected as the situation worsen, specifically their right to food, shelter, safety, and movement.

Unforgettable Experiences
Remember being young and listening to your parents' conversations? Remember listening in and shaking your head in disbelief? I was one of those kids who loved listening to my parents' conversations, and I always thought they were exaggerating; there was no way. Sometimes they were exaggerating others; they were under exaggerating. I remember being eight-years-old listening to my mom and her friends talk about earthquakes, and I was like, earthquakes? What is that? They told me it's when the earth would shake due to sudden movements along the faults of the earth. Eight-year-old me was like this one of their over-exaggeration stories. There's no way the earth could shake; just crazy. Then, a year later, on January 12, 2010, everything went down, literally!

An Urban Farmer’s Plea for Insect Pollinator Conservation . Top Story - April 2022. Created with: National Geographic.
Bees get all the credit. Don’t get me wrong. I love bees (and so do my plants). But there’s a bigger picture — one my plants understand more than anyone. We have to recognize all the other insect pollinators out there, too.
