The Dog-Gone Reality of How Our Pets Affect the Environment. Top Story - April 2021.
It’s easy to see how a declining bee population affects the environment worldwide. But how often have you considered how your dog, cat, rabbit, or even gerbil affects the Earth? Pets surely can’t make that much of an impact on climate change. Can they?

Watching Florida Change and Drain. Top Story - April 2021.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Florida was one of the least population-dense states in the union. Except for the coast, the state was almost uninhabited. Some places, like St. Augustine, attracted snowbirds from the north and Europe, and sport fishing was beginning to attract anglers from the other states and abroad.

Finding a Part of the Planet to Call Home. Top Story - April 2021.
Our little blue planet is such a beautiful place. With so much variety to choose from, finding a part of it to call home can take a while. It did for me. I hark from Australia – well known for its harsh climate and dangerous animals. Today I call the west coast of England home. It’s half a world away from where I began life.

An easy guide to going Eco-Friendly: starting with the bathroom
note: this post contains no affiliate links, just me gushing over how much I love these products I don't wear a lot of makeup anymore. In high school I would spend about an hour in the morning doing my makeup but still never managed to make it look as flawless as all of the popular girls. Once college rolled around, I would do it a least twice a week as I only had classes twice a week but slowly fell out of habit as I had more important things to focus on. Papers, midterms, finals, getting a somewhat decent job, or really any job to help me pay for these classes that grants and finical aid did not cover. Then I only began wearing it on certain occasions, whenever I would go out to diner with friends or celebrate a birthday or holidays, etc. Then 2020 happened. Everyone was forced to stay inside (don't get me wrong, I am not complaining) due to COVID-19 and masks where implemented throughout the country. No one could really see my face anymore so I had not reason to make myself "look good" anymore (because you should never feel like you need makeup to feel pretty!). Recently I was going through my makeup bag and throwing away a ton of old makeup that I no longer wore and was probably way past its use dates. This was also around the time when I decided that I wanted to live a little more eco-friendly and sustainably. So after getting lost on YouTube and somehow on the sustainability side of TikTok I decided that it was time that I live a little more earth friendly.

Going Green isn't Radical. Top Story - March 2021.
It’s been a long day. You slump onto your couch, exhausted. You open up your phone in search of relief, a meme, and a few wholesome updates from your friends on social media. Upon starting the app, a depressing video reveals itself at the top of the screen. A slow symphony fades in, piano and violin lamenting together. A scarred turtle appears, wincing as a good Samaritan dislodges a straw from its nostril.
