TikTok's (not-)Meat is (not-)Bad?
I need to face the facts: eating meat regularly isn’t helping the planet. Perhaps I can close my eyes to the animal cruelty and the horrors of the meat industry, but one cannot deny climate change. I mean, one can, I think right-wing politicians have proved that much. But one really shouldn’t and I’m not going to. While I wait for corporations to grow a conscience (don’t worry, I’ve got myself a comfy chair) and actually make an effort to clean the mess they’re making, quite literally, I’m looking for small ways I can contribute.

Dad, What is a Fish?
As parents, you want your kids to be safe and live a long healthy life. They are more than your DNA, they become the purpose of your life. You are willing to go to any lengths for their happiness. It is in your hands what kind of future they will inherit. One where they can enjoy seafood or one where they read about it in books.

A little goes a long way:
In high school, (many, many years ago), I had an English teacher who would always try to talk with us about the importance of recycling and doing our part to save the earth. Sadly, at that time, the only thing I heard him saying was: "DON'T USE HAIRSPRAY!" And, to a teenage girl, that's like telling a person not to breathe. Now, in hindsight, I completely see how ridiculous I was being. If I'm being completely honest, recycling was not something that we talked about or practiced in my household growing up.

Who Saves the World? Girls!
It's no secret that our planet is in crisis. Climate change caused by carbon emissions driven by human-fueled consumption causes glaciers to melt, oceans to rise, atmospheric and air quality issues, and an undeniable trash problem in our communities and oceans.

Eat my Heart: Why Eating From Head to Toe is Critical for Environmentalism
I am not a vegetarian. However, I do believe that we have long departed from respecting the animals we eat. This may be controversial, but I believe that ethical meat-eating is possible. We just aren't accomplishing it very well. There are some parts that are frequently talked about. For example, factory farming is obviously not a part of ethical meat-eating. Ideally, regenerative farming methods would be the way to go. If I were to go one further step, I might even suggest that people hunt their own animals to truly confront what it means to take a life to sustain yourself.

The Earth Needs YOU!
By, Janelle Medina 05/16/21 Growing up in Colorado I have been blessed to be apart of a community that experiences the beauty that comes with all 4 seasonal changes each calendar year. It would be no surprise to step outside on a hot sunny day, then within minutes it could be raining or snowing and bitter cold. There have been many episodes where you could whiteness these weather changes in just one single day. Natives of Colorado like myself are wise to include a water bottle, a warm jacket, a blanket, an umbrella, and a snow scraper in our cars “for emergency” kit. But, Whether it is because of global warming or the fuel emissions cause and effects or Mother Earths own choosing, these past few years have not been the same in my own personal opinion. Because of this…
