Types of Water Pollution? How to Avoid Water Pollution?
What is Water Pollution? Water Pollution refers to any type of contamination that can occur due to the drainage of contaminated water, either surface runoff or groundwater. What exactly is water pollution? Water pollution occurs when contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides and bacteria are introduced into the natural water system. These contaminants then interact with living organisms present in the water system, resulting in the generation of toxic byproducts.

The Population Bomb... Defused?
The idea that the world is overcrowded seems almost commonplace in the media and literature we consume on a daily basis. Countless books and apocalyptic projections surrounding the catastrophe of a seeming overabundance of humans in a limited world have caught the attention of millions and sold an equally sizable number of books including such successes as The Population Bomb, Countdown, and Life on the Brink. The story these books tell are all the same and all rooted in a certain element of truth; our numbers have grown exponentially and unfortunately the world has not. The issues harped on in these books all stem from one problem, overpopulation. Overpopulation is to many a frightening word, and the predictions made by these books authors fit the word "frightening" very well, they speak of famine, drought, disease, vast inequality and mass extinction on a global level. Thankfully none of these predictions have come true... yet. But one can't be too careful, so sit back, relax, maybe light some candles and draw a bath, while I do my best to examine the topic of human overpopulation in the world in what I hope is an easy to understand, if not so romantic, scientific analyses of the issue.

What happens if human beings sleep for 1000 years and then wake up
If humans ceased to exist, 3.5 million tons of garbage from Japan to California would not be collected. This means that more plastic waste will wander in the streets, forests and oceans. If we wake up 1,000 years later and still have plastic McDonald’s cups around, it’s not surprising. But this is not all bad news, because the disappearance of mankind will have great benefits for the earth and all its characteristics.

Nature Mirroring Humanity
As humans evolve, so does our world. Things that may have been unprecedented or unthinkable years ago can be accessed today with a few taps on a screen. The medical and scientific field has had countless breakthroughs that benefit humanity to this day. Several discoveries have driven us closer to the universe than ever before--The law of gravity, theory of relativity, Big bang theory, and quantum physics have all steered humanity closer to its cosmic roots. One would think that with all this knowledge, we should be doing better than we are now.

The stubborn life between the rocks often touches me to tears
It was the uncertain wind that scattered the unpicked seeds to the ends of the sea. When they can no longer find the soil, they pin their last hope in this crevice. Although they can also share warmth from the sun and get moisture from the rain, only the soil on which all life depends has to be found on their own. The reality they face is so grim.

Blue-Throated Macaws: A Rediscovered Species. Top Story - June 2021.
I often think about how large the world is and how little we know about it. The critically endangered Blue-Throated Macaw (Ara glaucogularis), found only in Bolivia, is a beautiful macaw from hot, humid lowlands prone to regular flooding. For some years, it was thought to be extinct. Or, perhaps, it was thought not to exist at all.
