Earth's Twin?
Earth's Twin? Comparing Earth to Exoplanets in the Habitable Zone For centuries, humanity has looked up at the stars and wondered: Are we alone? Beyond the poetry of curiosity, there’s a scientific underpinning to the quest — if life exists elsewhere, it most likely thrives on planets that resemble Earth. But how similar must another world be for us to call it an "Earth twin"?

Why I Refused to Raise My Kids in a Plastic Filled World
It’s two in the morning. The house is quiet except for the creak of my rocking chair. I’m in the nursery, breastfeeding my newborn. His tiny fingers are wrapped around mine. The smell of baby lotion is in the air. On the floor are plastic wrappers from nursing pads, wipes, and packaged baby products. Sitting there, with his warm little body against my chest, it hit me. I am raising the future while polluting his future.

Life Underwater
The Earth is often called the “blue planet” because most of its surface is covered by water. Beneath these waters lies an entire world that many people never see with their own eyes.

Exploring this hidden world helps us understand how important it is to care for our planet.
