Say Hello To Heal The Bay

A relative of one of my neighbors has helped bring awareness to the fact that ocean pollution is real, and that our environment is the key to life. She helped bring awareness to this organization, and is a main leader in it. She is part of Heal The Bay. So, about eight years ago, the…

Welcome To Trash Beach…

Over to the left, we have the pool of bottles, and to the right, we have plastic surfing classes. What would you like to do today? As you may know, Florida is where I currently am for vacation. But this vacation has turned into picking up trash in the ocean, and on the beach. A…

The Extreme Heat Of Florida

As you may have heard, I have traveled to Florida for the week for vacation. Though it’s just the third day of me being down here, things have happened that made me feel not that great inside. For example, today at the 4th of July parade, confetti was blasted out of a cannon. That cannon…

Plastic Paradise

I’ve mentioned before that Florida is a place that I go often, and in one article, I said that where I go was covered in trash over the winter. It had straws that could have easily entered the ocean by the time the cleanup crew had arrived early in the morning. Anyway, I’m going once…

My Solar Phone: Part 2

This will be somewhat of a shorter article than the rest, but it will hopefully give you some information. If you haven’t heard already, my iPhone is currently running off of solar energy. My home doesn’t have any panels on its roof, but I am relying on a small device that charges my phone when…

I Ate The Impossible Burger…

A recent article stated that I attended a group of people who cared about the environment greatly, and in that same group, I tasted the Impossible Burger. A little back story here. This burger is like no other, as it is considered the term, lab grown meat. Also, it’s not meat. Not one speck of…

Earth’s Energy: Where Does It Originate?

On a recent trip to a lock and dam along the Mississippi, I got the opportunity to learn a great deal about energy, and the hydroelectric power created. Back in the day, buildings and businesses along the river had their energy sourced directly from water. Now, all over the planet, fossil fuels are dominant. The…

Our World’s Farming Situation

Believe it or not, but just about 2.7% of planet Earth is actually farmable. This is taking into consideration of the soil, if there is rocks, and overall land that is able to be grown on, or turned into agriculture. This is quite an interesting fact, as by 2050, we will be responsible for feeding…

Sustainability – The Key To Life

At a recent gathering with minds that are passionate about the environment, I got the chance to wade through a local creek, and collect samples of the many macro-invertebrate that live there. It was a fun opportunity, as the information that we collected got to go to the county where the water was located. Anyway,…

Notpla: The Company That’s Saying Goodbye To Packaging

A few years ago, something called Ooho! got amazingly popular. It promised to put an end to plastic bottle packaging, and make the world better. Here’s how it worked: you take a pod of water, plop it into your mouth, and bite down. The outer layer of the pod is made out of seaweed, not…
