The Continual Process of Reducing
It started with recycling. I remember when I was a kid and our our neighborhood began its recycling program. Only plastic types 1 and 2 could be put into the bins, so we dutifully checked the symbols, rinsed out our Diet Coke bottles, and felt like the greenest family this side of the Mississippi.

My Dying Wish
I know this is not what you expect however, this is my last chance to help you and my grandchildren. My generation and my son’s generation are already doomed so I write this in hopes that you can send it to all the world rulers. I will appeal to their compassion and common sense. However, if, that does not work, I will also appeal to their love of self or as you humans term it, selfishness. I just do not like the inclusion of the word fish in that bad word.

The Friendly Fuzzy Caterpillar
My newfound temporary friendship started a few days ago in the wee hours of the morning darkness. Upon taking my dog out to relieve himself, I noticed a dark fuzzy addition to the overgrown greenery beside my feet.

Domesticated Urban Chipmunks
Chipmunks are one of the most domestic, non-domesticated animals in Canada. With their small size and interesting stripes, they are more cherished and friendly than common black or grey squirrels. These physical traits may have helped chipmunks endear themselves to humans and after receiving gifts of food, they began to expect these treats, and embrace the urban setting rather than be fearful of it.

FROM THE GROUND UP
Scanning social media as the emergence of yet another in a long line of diseases stemming from animal mistreatment swept through the population, while also reading stories about The Amazon being burned to produce more for a world that already produces enough but just fails to allocate it well, followed by watching as both the west coast of the United States, and portions Australia burned uncontrollably, caused us great distress.

Saving Our Planet with Gardens
Throughout my life, I have often strayed from the typical way of doing things. I have simply never wanted to follow the regular flow of life that people often mean for us to follow. The moment I turned 18, I drove across the country to take a job working on a farm. I stayed for about 3 months, and then went back home. A few months later, I decided to do it again at another farm. This got me thinking about something. People are so focused on jobs, money, etc, that we don’t focus on the little things. Such as how much a plastic water bottle could ruin the environment, and even then, our concern only lasts a week or two. Remember how everyone wanted to switch to metal straws for awhile, but no one talks about it anymore? Yes, things like that are exactly the problem.

Current challenges facing today's society are closely related to the boom in human population including, increased rates in global warming, decreased biodiversity, nature fragmentation, shortages in drinking water, over-fishing, pollution, and increased overal carbon emissions.
