My Delicate Footprints
No moment is promised in life. Not one sunrise. Not one sunset. Not one hour. Not one minute. Not your next breath. All of these things are contingent upon this assumption that the Earth will continue supporting life in the presence of overwhelming abuse. I realized last year just how grave the state of our planet is.

Diminishing Carbon Footprints Will Require Learning From Our Mistakes And Understanding The Importance Of Saving The Oceans.
If you want to know who the enemy is, get off your chair, your couch, or out from behind your desk. Follow these simple instructions. Go to any of your restrooms, bathrooms, or lavatories. Find your sink. Turn on the water, splash some on your face, and then look in the mirror. You've now found what should be public enemy number one. Sure, maybe it's not you personally. If you have asked yourself, what am I doing to be less wasteful, to conserve resources, to conserve energy, and not unnecessarily pollute the environment and the answer was everything you could do, then you personally are off the hook? Now that we've told that lie, look around the house, the office, the garage, and decide whether or not you've truly become an eco-warrior.

Save the Turtles. Top Story - May 2021.
Why won't anybody please think of the turtles!!! Image from Sport Diver.org Image from Australian Geographic Pretty dramatic, huh? Rest assured, these pictures are tame compared to the graphic, heartbreaking, gory ones I found while researching my topic. Due to my respect for wildlife, and my mom's intense love for turtles, I won't be showing those. Yes, the reality is often darker than it needs to be. But, if it gets the point across, then it's worth the trouble.

Save The Whales!
"Save the whales! Save the whales! Stop using water! Honk to save the whales!" The chanting continued as I tried to enjoy my arts and crafts indoors. Drawn to the point of irritation I went to the front door and peered out to see my little sister marching in wide circles around the front lawn with a hand written sign in the drunken scrawl that can only belong to an eight-year-old. In true picketing fashion, her little construction paper sign is haphazardly taped to a ruler and she's pumping her little arms up and down, shaking her sign at any car that drives past our corner house.

Masks and PPE have a Big Plastic Pollution Problem, Here's Is How We Are Fixing It
The coronavirus pandemic has changed our daily lives in so many big ways, it's easy to lose track of its less obvious impacts. While we’re tracking infection rates and figuring out how to best distribute vaccines, COVID has created just the right conditions for a surge in plastic waste.

I Started an Eco-Club for Kids and it Changed My Life.. Top Story - May 2021.
It was 2015. I had begun the year depressed about the environment. I couldn't take any more news articles on the declining climate crisis, and was constantly inundated with infographic memes of how we're trashing our world. During my doom-scrolling one day, I came across a link to a Climate Reality Project training by the one and only, Nobel Laureate Al Gore, which was coming to my area, and a link to an application. I decided enough was enough, I felt pushed to take action.
