Sustainability

Zero-Waste For the Win
I stood nervously at the front of a packed auditorium looking out at a sea of cotton-white hair while shining spectacles reflected florescent lighting back at me. I gently placed each prop on the table in front of me, feeling as though I was setting up for a strange show-and-tell to a hundred grandparents. in essence, I was.

I'm Lucky
I’m lucky. It is easy for me to make plans – practical plans, on reducing my footprint on this earth. I am educated and aware, and I have the advantage of having a son and daughter in law who are super eco conscious. Krystal has her own website, online shop, social media, podcasts etc. As I have watched and listened to her and my son I have absorbed the principles of living in a sustainable way. I don’t do everything they do but step by step I am travelling that road.

Waves of Plastic
The stress and chaos of everyday life can be overwhelming. For some, a vacation is just what they need to de-stress and take a break from reality. My vacation would consist of sitting on the soft silky sand on a beach in Maine, watching the ocean waves crash against the rocks and flow up on the shore, washing over my feet with a margarita in hand. However, with the amount of pollution that is taking over our Oceans, soon they will be just another landfill if we don’t do something.

Five Ways My Family Is Reducing Our Carbon Footprint This Year
Climate Change is a crisis we all have to worry about. It will be the single most impactful element in every corner of our life. One of the biggest contributors to the climate crisis is our individual carbon footprint. What is our carbon footprint? In simple terms, it is the amount of energy we consume and expel that directly impacts the health of the Earth and contributes to the climate change issues we are experiencing today.

Hydrogen
It is the most abundant fuel in the universe and when you burn it the only byproduct of the combustion reaction is water. More than this it has three times the potential energy than petroleum so the question really becomes, why are we not using it to power everything? Well there are several answers to that question, but the most surprising one is we are already.

The Future of Earth | The ultimate change of our planet explained briefly.
The Future of Earth and the life on it. The future of life on earth and the structure of the earth can be ruled out depending on the limited effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry of the earth's surface, the degree of cooling the interior of the planet, the interaction of gravity and other elements in the Solar System, and the further increase in sunlight. What is uncertain about this release is the continuing influence of man-made technologies, such as climate engineering, that could revolutionize the world. The current extinction of the Holocene is due to technology and the effects can last up to five million years. Also, technology could lead to the extinction of humanity, leaving the planet to slowly return to the gradual evolution of long-term natural processes.

The Earth Will Sweat Less
Ever wondered the newspapers your house collects are actually the doors for your input to the better future. The houses we live in are made of concrete which by the way are one of the major carbon emitting sources of green house gases and they can be easily replaced with materials like Fly Ash, Silica Fume, and Wood Ash typically called green alternative for conventional concrete. There are many more such cautious choices we make uncautiously. Let's embark on a journey where we can make better choices for a better world.

The Global Warming & Impact
A global war is raging over an ocean at the very top of the world. Global warming has affected the Arctic over the last three decades. While most of the world views this as a looming catastrophe, five Arctic nations stand to gain. As the ice melts, the United States, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Russia see an opportunity for new trading routes and potentially lucrative natural resource deals. This paper will explore the origins of this conflict and the consequences (dire and sound) of owning this resource-rich property.
