10 Endangered Species and What You Can Do to Revive Them
There are 41,415 animals on the IUCN Red List of critically endangered species, an unfortunate statistic that shows us just how much work we need to do to help wildlife thrive. In the US, the Endangered Species Act is a helpful guide to some endangered species, but to really help animals, we must focus our attention worldwide. There are lots of things you can do to help revive animals on the endangered species list—from donating your time or money to a worthwhile organization to supporting animal charities by supporting wildlife conservation efforts, like Untamed Photographer. All profits from our limited-edition prints go straight to environmental causes.

Planting Mindfulness
The activity that takes me away from harsh realities is restoring a small piece of nature on my property back home. It doubles as a part of the solution to the core of the harsh realities out there including the effects of materialism and overpopulation on nature and society that continue to spread across the countryside. The problems people impose on the environment and each other weigh heavily on my mind. Serenity and tranquility are necessary for peace of mind and coping with life in these tumultuous times. Planting native plants on my little patch of ground is a rewarding and satisfying activity. It is a fundamental way to make a positive difference today and for future generations.

Plastics
Being a science major is not for the faint of heart. Did you know you could spend three hours a week in a Music Appreciation class and earn three credits, but you could spend three hours a week in a science lecture hall plus an additional four hours in a lab, and earn only four credits? Seriously that is how it works. Sometimes you get the joy of being in a lecture and lab for 7 hours a week and you only receive three credits. Someone seriously needs to reevaluate this system.

Penguin Pullovers
My mother used to have a wise saying about how the world could be a much better place: “Each one, help one.” Mama explained to me that back in the cruel days of slavery, when it was against the law for slaves to read or write; anyone who was able to learn against all odds, was obligated to secretly teach someone else. In our modern times, Mama altered the phrase... Thankfully, there is no longer a need for: "Each one, teach one" (in the majority of the world nowadays); but there is still an urgent need—sometimes a very desperate one—for: "Each one, help one."

7 Billion Authentic Stories
In the wise words of Jim Carrey, I'm tired of living my life out of fear disguised as practicality. He once stated, "What we want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for it."
