Solving The Climate Crisis For Her
Today, my youngest sister came to me with something that I never expected to hear her say. She was distraught, face pale, tears in her eyes as she sat down next to me. When I asked her what was wrong, she was hesitant to tell me, but I pressed the point, seeing how troubled whatever was on her mind was making her.

One Man’s Trash, One Globe’s Big Problem
It’s no secret that the Earth goes through a lot in it’s endless cycles around the solar system. And oftentimes humans can be more harmful than helpful to our planet despite all the pressure it already faces. From increasing natural disasters to drastic climate changes, it’s clear that the Earth is rapidly changing - and not for the better.

THE HISTORY OF EARTH DAY
ORIGINS OF EARTH DAY In the decades leading up to the first Earth Day, Americans were consuming vast amounts of leaded gas through massive and inefficient automobiles. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of the consequences from either the law or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. Until this point, mainstream America remained largely oblivious to environmental concerns and how a polluted environment threatens human health.

The Red Planet
The Red Planet NASA has two other orbiters of the planet Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mav, both entering the Earth's atmosphere and the ever-changing evolution of the planet. Two rovers headed to parts of Mars that had never been explored before seeing a UAE Landing spot, and the orbiter was tracking changes in the Martian atmosphere. Like a rover mission, the orbiter acts as a communication link and travels to the nearest Martian planet-wide exploration route.

Can a House Run on Solar Power Alone?
Whether for financial reasons, ecological causes, or both, getting 100% of your electrical energy from your own renewable energy source is always profitable. It could have a measurable effect on the environment by reducing your carbon footprint. It may also save money in your bank account by providing you with free electrical energy for many years.

Could American Excrement Power Our Electricity Grid With Renewable Energy?
If you pay attention to the news, particularly to tech news, you likely came across the toilet that converts poop to cryptocurrency. Located on a campus in South Korea, the process for this system is fairly simple. Students log in with their ID in the bathroom (we've all got our phones in-hand anyway), do their business, and then a vacuum system sucks away their "donation" as it's called. The waste is deposited in a tank, and then allowed to break down, producing methane. The methane is burned to create power, helping keep the university sustainable.

What a waste
Christmas of 1973, I received my first sewing machine at the ripe old age of 10. I still have that sewing machine. I no longer us it but, I will never let it go. That machine sits in my sewing room in a prominent spot so that I can see it every day. It represents the beginning of the love affair I have with creating and the euphoria I have when I have finished something I have been working on. Often in the evenings I would cut out a pattern just so I would have it ready to work on. There is something special about getting up before the sun and sitting at my machine. I am not sure if it is the stimming cup of tea, the quietness of the house or the rhythmic sound of the machine going thump. thump, thump but, I could sit there for hours.

When The Sharks Sang
I have always said that the worst part of human beings is that they have an annoying habit of always acting human. I should know, I have been watching your species since you evolved into your wretched state. I am 3rd Assessor Vulcan, presently observing your planet, you humans, from the massive surveillance facility hundreds of feet below the surface of MARS. MARS as you know it is not Reality. Think of it as a Planet sized super computer containing technology you couldn’t possibly conceive. MARS is actually an acronym for Mobile Assessment Reconnaissance Station, and we have been doing just that since before your time. But at long last, my most sincere wish has been granted. I get to sit here, surrounded by holographic surveillance of your planet. And I get to watch it die.
