What Humanity Accomplished
it all started with inspiration from another. right at the end of 2016, I was scrolling through Tumblr. by the end of 2017, I had gathered as many facts as I could, and despite the pure unadulterated horror of the Emoji Movie, Charlottesville Nazi, Manchester bombing, the public embarrassment from the worldwide broadcast of politics, and worse.

A giant sea turtle swallowed 6 pounds of marine garbage and died, how bad is the impact of marine garbage on animals?
A giant sea turtle died after swallowing 6 pounds of marine garbage Recently, a sea turtle weighing more than 200 pounds in Sanya was rescued because of an abnormal reaction. However, shortly after being brought back to the rescue center, the turtle unfortunately died. The veterinarian wanted to determine the cause of the disease through autopsy but found a large number of foreign objects in the turtle's body, such as masks, plastic bags, fishing nets, and other marine garbage. The garbage clogged the turtle's intestines and consequently left them necrotic.

Go Green? Enough Already
Drive a puny, fuel efficient car or hybrid; use an ugly little light bulb that emits a dull light and is hazardous when broken; wear a sweater in your own home in the winter and don’t be afraid to sweat in the summer; all in the name of "going green". I’m tired of being lectured to on how to live my life by elitists who don’t even follow their own rules. It’s time to say enough is enough. I would have no problem if conservation and recycling were spoken of in the context of energy efficiency and cost effectiveness, but the green movement has become an out of control religion based on what many experts now believe is a myth, man-made global warming. Americans are constantly bombarded by the media with this message of "going green" that is designed to give people a false sense of "doing good". In the process, they are willing to give up their individual rights one by one and without question. That is why "going green", which was once a cute little message, is now becoming an oppressive slogan.

What to expect from Egypt COP27 Climate Summit?
We are less than a month away from the climate summit COP 27th, which this year takes place in the luxury resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, in Egypt. This is the second time a Middle Eastern country hosts one of these summits. Morocco hosted the COP22 five years ago. However, since the last time world leaders met for the COP26, in Glasgow, UK, in November 2022, the world has changed a great deal. Russia has invaded Ukraine undermining Europe energy security; global inflation is at 40 years high, and we are headed to economic recession.

How Kenya is harnessing the immense heat from the Earth
rive along the dusty dirt road that winds through Kenya's Hell's Gate National park, past the zebra, gazelles and giraffes, and you'll see a plume of steam shooting skyward in the distance. Vehicles must sometimes swerve to avoid running over warthogs as they enter a vast valley dotted with dozens of steam vents – a factory of clouds.

The remarkable power of Australian kelp
re than 45,000 years ago, by the shore of present-day Tasmania, a local person picked up a large piece of thick, dark brown seaweed. Its impervious tissue and resilient flexibility sparked an idea, and they realised that this giant piece of seaweed could solve one of the day's nagging problems. The piece of kelp was fashioned into a small rubbery bag, its edges perforated with a stick to give it structure, and plant fibres twisted around the stick to make a handle. From then on, the kelp was used as a versatile water carrier.

Why Peru is reviving a pre-Incan technology for water
Pre-pandemic, in the austral winter, I drove north out of Lima, up into Peru's highlands to the village of Huamantanga (wa-mon-TONG-a). I was traveling with scientists who were studying local farmers' use of a 1,400-year-old technique to extend water availability into the long dry season.
