Sustainability

Best Ways to Keep the Ocean Clean
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports that three-quarters of the world's fishing grounds are overfished, exploited, or depleted. Sustainable seafood refers to seafood that has been harvested in a way that takes into account the long-term impact on marine species and the livelihoods of fishing-dependent communities, as well as long-term fishing and ecosystems. By choosing sustainable seafood, you can eliminate such practices as bottom fishing where boats roll over nets, catch anything that comes in their way, and push fish that have fallen or died on the sea.

Do You Recycle the Right Way?
I’m not an environmental fanatic. However, I want to do my small part to help the planet. As a Gen-Xer (80’s child), the phrase, “reduce, reuse, and recycle” had been seared into my memory from infomercials and school assemblies. This phrase originated in the 1970’s when people became more conscious of trying to save the planet from pollution etc.

The Swine of Legion
The pigs were playing, dancing in the rays of new daylight coming through the wood of the old barn they'd always called home. Simeon would be home soon and he was a task master. They'd better get their kicks in before then. Besides, they were tired, from a night spent sucking blood.

Houseplants that Enhance the Quality of Air You Breathe Indoors
Houseplants serve a variety of purposes. Many level up the aesthetics in their homes by setting them up around their house. Like good books and comfortable furniture, houseplants have their way of pleasing an indoor environment. Other than levelling up the aesthetics of the place, some varieties of houseplants serve a greater and more important purpose, which is purifying the air we breathe. Some houseplants tend to absorb toxic air contents like carbon dioxide and give out more fresh oxygen that we can consume. There are a number of plants that can really help with naturally purifying air in your home.

10 South American Animals That Get A Bad Rap
South America is widely considered to house some of the most incredible and most dangerous wildlife on the planet. While the former is certainly true, the latter may be overstated somewhat, as we’ll promptly examine today. This, though, isn’t to say that being careful is wrong; wild animals will always pose a threat and some on this list have seriously injured or even killed people. What’s also true, however, is that their reputation is almost always worse than the reality and they’re not an imminent threat to constantly worry about, especially not when basic precautions are taken.

THE ENCHANTED FOREST
Remember those fairy-tales where trees could walk, talk and feel? They might be based on real life! I am currently reading The hidden life of trees which feels exactly as Tim Flannery (introducing the book) describes it: a wonderland. The author, Peter Wohlleben works in the lumber industry and manages a forest with the purpose of harvesting it for commercial gain. His insights and his discoveries about trees have shaped the content of The hidden life of trees and reading it, you will feel once again, you do not know a thing about the universe or the world we all live in. At least, that is what I have learned from its teachings.

One Man's Trash
It’s been a stressful day. I’m awaiting a refill on my anxiety medication; this amplifies even the most minor of situations. I’m unemployed despite hours of applying for jobs, and I’m overwhelmed when I think about my finances. I need something to take my mind off things and still my shaking hands.
