Mega Tsunami Threatens US East Coast
In the last decade, people around the world have undergone a wide scale of record-setting natural disasters. The tsunami that rocked the nation of Japan in 2011, the biggest hurricanes the modern world has seen bombarding the United States. Volcanoes in Guatemala and Hawaii, and a trifecta of earth, water, and fire in Sulawesi last year. Hell... even Russia had a close call with a meteor in 2013. Our planet has been displaying its catastrophic potential, and all of the science says that at the rate we are going... the stakes are only going to get higher, and matters are only going to get worse.

#WaterIsMedicine, What's Your Water Story?. Top Story - July 2019.
My water story is simple: water is my medicine. Water has shifted my understanding of aliveness. I value being able to drink high-quality clean water. I celebrate the opportunity to experience the joy of being in the ocean with my loved ones.

Diving taught me how to breathe my way to peace. Hiking up the river with my dogs reconnects me to the instinctive relationship between nature and humanity. The relationship between human and nature is as natural as water.

Celebrating Life: the Challenge to Preserve and Sustain a Balanced Ecology
“In the end, we destroyed the heaven that was called earth. The earth had been beautiful until our spirit moved over it and destroyed all things.” These lines came from Bernard Backmann’s work entitled, “Reverse Creation.” It tells us that we humans are the cause why the world fades and is gradually changing. We now sit on the brink of environmental catastrophe and the damages we’ve inflicted upon our precious Earth have become almost irreversible. Inevitably, we as a culture will find a way for its sustainability but at what cost?

Why We Need to Change
Global Warming, we hear so much about it in modern politics and news, how the earth is getting warmer and warmer by the day, how the sea levels are rising, and how animals are dying. But I feel we are still not talking about it enough. The Earth is a gift, but it is not ours to destroy. By destroying it, like we are at this very moment, we are possibly taking away the future lives of billions, even trillions of humans.

Easy Ways to Save Money and the Environment
In order to avoid spending money unnecessarily, you should reduce the amount of television you watch. Reducing the amount of television you watch saves you money, because you use less electricity at home, and you are also less exposed to advertisements that show items that you feel like buying, but that you do not really need. As a result, you would lower your stress, as you would not be as worried about money later on.
