Tropical storm warning
There’s a stillness before it comes, a silence so profound that even the trees seem to stop their swaying, as if aware of something looming just beyond the edge of sight. The sky, once awash in soft blue, now churns with ominous clouds, heavy and swollen, gathering in thick layers. It’s the kind of sky that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, that makes you feel the weight of the earth beneath your feet. A sky that speaks of what’s to come.

The Last Sunrise
The horizon was an orange line, faint and uncertain, barely separating the sky from the sea. Lina stood at the edge of the crumbling dock, her feet heavy on the weathered wood, watching as the ocean devoured the last of the shore. It seemed impossible that the land she had known all her life—her home, her memories—was fading into the tide. Her breath hitched, not from the wind that whipped through her hair, but from the crushing weight in her chest, the feeling that with every wave, she was losing pieces of herself.

The Silent Strangulation: How Human Hands are Ending Breath and Life on Earth
In recent years, humanity has been inching closer to a self-inflicted environmental disaster. Like someone slowly cutting off their own breath, we are depleting the very resources that sustain life—forests, water, air, and ecosystems. Our actions, driven by industrialization, deforestation, and reckless use of natural resources, are pushing the planet to its limits. This article explores how human activities, such as cutting down trees and misusing water resources, contribute to climate change and other environmental crises.

Rediscovering Nature
The first time Mia stepped outside after months of isolation, the air felt foreign, as if she were inhaling life for the first time. Anxiety had wrapped its tendrils around her for so long that the thought of venturing into the world felt daunting. Yet, something in her stirred—a whisper of hope, perhaps.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in a Rainy City
Every morning, Claire would wake up to the sound of rain tapping on her window in Manchester. She'd lay in bed, the weight of the gray sky pressing down on her chest. It wasn’t just the rain—she was used to that, had grown up with it, the constant drizzle in the background like the city’s heartbeat. But as autumn bled into winter, something inside her shifted.

Earth Shook for Nine Days Following Climate-Driven Mega-Tsunami
Earth Shook for Nine Days Following Climate-Driven Mega-Tsunami A massive landslide and subsequent mega-tsunami in Greenland, triggered by the climate crisis in September 2023, caused the Earth to vibrate for nine days. This seismic event, which had never been seen before, left scientists puzzled. Earthquake sensors across the globe picked up the vibrations, but at first, nobody could figure out what caused them. Eventually, researchers discovered that global warming had led to this unprecedented disaster, showing how rapidly rising temperatures are starting to have significant planetary effects.

Underconsumption: A Quiet Rebellion Against Consumer Culture
“We’ve been saving this for you,” said Mama with a beaming smile as my Pop gently placed a hefty box at the center of my teenage bedroom. The outside was dusty and scratched up from moving a dozen times but, when they popped the lid open, it was clear the outside of the plastic container shielded the content within from every last scratch. “You’ll finally fit into these.”
