We need to fly a lot less
It is well known that transport is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, mainly due to the fact that most forms of transport are powered by fossil fuels, the burning of which leads to the release of carbon dioxide and other waste products, some of which are also greenhouse gases. In the UK, for example, 22% of greenhouse gases come from road vehicles.

A Tangent Ship On The Horizon
I had been living on Butchers island now for what seemed like an eternity but it was actually two and a half years since I had seen anyone or anything that remotely looked like civilization. I was confident in the beginning that they had sent out a search party for me considering I was one of the most sought-after philanthropists in the northern hemisphere, but as time went by, I began to lose hope that anyone was ever going to come and rescue me.

ramble on, karen
carbon footprint reduction: we dispose of our cars roughly every year and walk everywhere, or take the bus. no really, delivery is potentially hazardous to the function of a car. it certainly increases the chances of accidents. in a 3 year period resulting in a pandemic, we were good and ready to try statistic status over our white privilege. as expected, we hated it. many accidents, many woeful goodbyes to the shortened privileges we did endure with car.

Eat less beef - save Planet Earth!
Eating much less meat – especially beef – would be an excellent way in which everyone could help the save the planet. The desire of human beings to eat meat is having a devastating impact on the planet we live on. This is not only because of the destructive pattern of land use that results but also because of the behaviour of the vast numbers of animals that are reared for food.

It's Now Or Never
It had become such a concern of mine many years ago, approximately twenty-five years to be exact. I found myself in the bottom of my own self- reflection pool where my subconscious rules what my waking self had trouble understanding. My biggest fear wasn't my carbon footprint , it was the fact that we have a system that seems broken but really isn't it was designed to bring us to ruin, that is all we have come to learn about how we are more or less divine, but react as nothing more than all-consuming viruses, capable of consuming, devouring and destroying everything, including the world in which we live. I personally hated biochemical threats of warfare, especially when there really wasn't anything worth fighting for from that point of view. So being raw was probably a good thing inasmuch as a clean slate can hold more than a full slate of misguided preconceived notions about how we should live our lives.

Bleeding On The Run, Sustainable Periods While Traveling
A little background, I am a bleeding human. I also travel a lot and care about the planet. I know that period products are horrendous, not only for the people who use them (and their bodies) but for the planet (and her celestial body).
