Banksy's Message And The Plight Of Climate Change. Top Story - May 2021.
What transcends culture, differences in language and customs will always be art. The power of images to get the message across could never be diminished. It unifies people into one consciousness. That is why these street artists, who are using their talents to highlight the message of climate change, are so important to me.

On A Planet With So Much Water Why Would We Ruin Something We Depend On To Live? Three Simple Ways To Protect Our Environment And Our Futures.
That'll end up in the sea, all it takes is one storm, one high tide coming in, and it's gone. Plastics can take from as little as 20 years and to as long as 500 years to decompose, depending on the materials and structure. Sunlight exposure helps to degrade or break down plastics. Like our skin, plastics absorb ultraviolet radiation from sunlight which breaks down molecules. Photodegradation is the name of the process and it's why landfills often expose plastic waste to the sun to quicken the process.

A Whisper to a Scream
I have always been one who loved the Earth through all things huge and tiny. I was never in shoes as a child and would be in, under or around trees most of the time; or I would be at the beach. I grew up to the sound of waves, the sting of sand and salt whipped up by wind or the lulling calm of the rhythmic crashing. I grew accustomed to it; a blessing and a curse. Being so close to the immensity that is the ocean and having it become home, meant that I forgot that not all is as it seems. I became complacent and never fully considered the darker truth behind the huge breaks and pretty shells.

Happy Birthday, Jacques Cousteau
The year was 2018. I was still cleaning out the townhouse after my mother passed away, readying it for sale. A challenge was proposed in a conservationist page that I followed: Do something in honor of the late Jacques Cousteau's 108th birthday.

Was Thanos Right About Saving Earth?. Top Story - May 2021.
The most memorable antagonists are the ones that make you reconsider your position on an issue. They are not evil for evil's sake but operate from a moral compass that, while unpopular, is entirely understandable and at least partially agreeable. In this regard, Thanos stands out. If you are unfamiliar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Thanos (huge purple dude, weird chin) is an overarching villain who first makes an appearance in the first Avengers movie in a post-credits scene. His presence remains enigmatic as the heroes move from film to film, but as the universe expands, the audience is able to piece together little nuggets of information about him.

My Monthly Way To Give Back
Always having great compassions for the Wildlife, I signed up to be a member of the Wildlife Collections Society. Two months ago I started out with a purchase of three bracelets with Polar Bears on them. Each has a tracker. We adopt and between myself and our grandchildren, using our computers we can track where our Polar Bear is and knowing how they are doing.

Recycling is Just the Start
Recycling is just an illusion; it’s a story we’ve been told to make us feel better about buying plastic water bottles and aluminum pop cans. It’s a story that’s been shoved down our throats since preschool, and yet, it doesn’t live up to the promises it makes. And the problem is that no one is asking what recycling truly is, if its supporting the health of the Earth, or even what happens to those bottles and cans once they disappear from our bins.
