What Composting Taught Me
It started with a project for an environmental science class. I was someone who struggled with gen ed credits in college. They were s boring, and I didn't see the importance of taking a million and one math, science, and sociology classes in order to get my degree and become a full-time writer. But here I was anyway, signing up for what was reportedly the easiest science credit I could score. It was even an online course!

“Sea-Shock!”
I am a dreamer, writer, crafter, and artist. My influence in many of my works incorporates the ocean. I was born and raised in Southern California, and was living every extra hour at the beautiful beaches. The sun brightly burning high above, heating bodies drenched in tanning oils, caused coconut scents to permeate the salty air.

Waves of Change in Oneself Create Ripples of Change in Others
Self-regulation is the only control we possess in this lifetime. The way we treat our resources and ourselves is vital to our journey on earth. Our actions influence people around us and should always be done with benevolence. As humans, there is a lot of monkey see monkey do. With this concept, we can make dynamic changes in the world with our lifestyle and by example.

Lobster is theoretically able to live forever
Have you ever stared at a lobster and wondered curiously what makes a creature look so much like an extraterrestrial visitor? Have you ever wondered what our lives would be like if this creature eventually ruled the Earth? Want to hear some spooky knowledge? Theoretically, from a biological point of view, lobsters can live forever. If they are not predated, not starved, not afflicted by disease, and not involved in any terrible disaster, they can live forever; but they do not.

Everyone Needs to Know Which Transport Is the Greenest
If the last year has taught us anything, it is that a proactive change on reducing global emissions through travel is effective. Since industrialisation, our planet has warmed by roughly 1.2°C. Due to lockdown and COVID-19 policies over the last year, there has been a significant drop in travel and subsequently fuel consumption and emissions. While lockdown didn’t have a dramatic effect on lowering the temperature of our planet, a temporary suspension on usual human activity like international travel, for example, did reduce CO2 emissions. We experienced a record fall in fossil fuel emissions in 2020 by seven per cent.

10 Things Will Help
As the daughter of an environmental scientist, I grew up a little differently. When the world first began to care about Climate Change and the damage that was being done to our planet, when everyone got excited about Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, and when conscious consumerism first entered popular usage, I was confused. Was this not common knowledge?

Beware: Aggressive Elk
The sign said to beware of aggressive elk. I had been warned. I just didn't expect to see them there in the middle of downtown, sprawled across the median, through the street, and over toward the concrete parking lot. They congregated in small clusters, like teenagers loitering at a strip mall. Some seemed to be showing off. Others looked on lazily from the grass.

Those Beautiful Damn Clouds…
Deep clouds heave under such a weight and yet not a drop do they offer. For days, I’ve wandered amongst the dry red sands of the Australian outback. My meagre bottled water supply abandoned me within hours of becoming stranded. All alone I’ve trekked in search for a sign of another human being, or at the very least, a few drops of dew at dawn light in this arid land. Yet morning dew evades my parched soul, and I am alone.
