The headline news on this day was a wake-up call from the IPCC to all human inhabitants of this planet that we are on a slippery slope to disaster. In what form will this disaster take? Rising oceans, scorching temperatures making some areas of the planet unliveable, greater and more frequent storms, extensive flooding, droughts, disappearing glaciers causing disappearing potable water in various parts of the world, or all of the above.

Five Actually Easy Ways to be Eco-Friendly
It's been an extended day. You fall on your couch, tired. you switch on your phone for free of charge , meme, and a couple of nice updates from your friends on social media. once you start the app, a compelling video appears at the highest of the screen. The slow symphony ends, with the piano and violin playing together. A scarred tortoise appears, triumphant because the good Samaritan puts the reed in its nostrils.

COAST TO COAST
Coast To Coast By, Darius Cherry 1. Denver,CO This will be a first for me to turn away from something not all car related. I will start off by saying this story was inspired by a great person I know. They will teach you a thing about life but they taught me how to move on appropriately. Something people need to learn nowadays. I understand you should focus on you and the right energy will come but, that's why we live on this big round thing called earth and you can travel it. There is still some car related material in here, but this article is mostly about traveling from the east coast to the west coast of the USA. We will start with Denver, Colorado, the first state I moved to emotionally. I say emotionally because this was a move not by choice, I am from the Northern Part of Virginia or as people in my generation from that area call it NOVA. In my years from 20-23 I had my first car and had a very rebellious attitude, I was misunderstood but it led to poor choices. Which led to lawyers clearing my record so I can have another life and that life was started with someone who I thought was my soulmate with a lifestyle in a state with the prettiest weather you have ever seen. I was driven out of the state of Virginia due to the disagreements I kept having with my family and other trouble. I do want to chase my dreams but people were trying to parent me when they weren’t happy with their own life. That wasn’t family either, it was ex-friends to just people who claim to know it all. If it hasn’t occurred to you I do not like authority or you thinking you have a PHD and everything. It led me to reconnecting with this girl who now is no longer even talking with me but it's okay she's alive. We decided to drive to Colorado where she was already residing but we ended up getting an apartment together. I learned though just because you know someone since kindergarten doesn’t mean they care about you.... Denver taught me a lot though when I was out there, I lost my first car out there. I learned that being at a high altitude in the morning is a funny feeling. One thing I love to do when I travel or go anywhere new is to eat and try different foods. Denver has beautiful foods. Overall if I did not rush my emotions I would have stayed in Colorado it's okay everything happens for a reason, I know there are no cars in this part that is what Washington State is for.

In a Bull's Eye
My Grandma, the eternal eclectic, had lived in Southern California since she was a young teenager. Growing up a farm girl in rural Colorado, her early years spent in an old one room schoolhouse, I can only imagine the culture shock it must have been starting high school in Long Beach. Yet she fit in immediately. Even on the farm, she had always had the heart of an artist. All the flair and eccentricity to make it as a Golden Era Hollywood actress. Luckily for me, she chose to be a full time Mom instead.

The General's Bones
2009 The Afghan National Army base at the end of the Darulaman Road was as neat and well maintained as any site in a country broken by the devastation of war. The feeling of pride of place and the positive attitude of the personnel working there was pleasantly palpable. It was just so very different from most places in the careworn nation.

Encounter
The bright morning sun lit up the new snow as if it was illuminated deep within each snowflake, all combining their light. The sky was clear and brilliant in blue. The air stings my face, but at the same time, fills my lungs with crisp, pure air, settling into the deepest part of my core. I look to the top of the hills on each side of me, feeling protected and safe within the valley's confines. The gleaming snow seems to light the woods that surround me from within. As I make my way up the snow-covered path, the blue sky breaks above. The bare, dark tree limbs seem to come together against the topaz blue sky, and the stained glass cathedral before me opens up. The snow crunches underneath my feet as I walk deeper into the hidden inner sanctum that seems to call for me. The air still stings my face, but as I walk into a clearing, I pass through a warm, bright spot that makes me look up and acknowledge the sun, appreciating it for the warmth and light it brings.

Trees of green
I’m from Upstate New York, the southern central part along the Pennsylvania border. The very first memories I have of my valley are the rolling hills that surround it, and the trees that cover them. They form a delicate wood filled with lush green undergrowth and several varieties of endearing little animals who inhabit it. And at home, my mother’s large garden produced an abundance of vegetables and flowers which kept both our bodies and souls fed.
