A lot is happening right now, with the Coronavirus wreaking havoc around the world and threatening our form of daily life, we start to feel a little more than scared. Above all, we should learn how to prevent the virus; so far the recommendations are a no-brainer, wash hands periodically, don’t touch people and for now no hand-shaking, clean the surfaces you regularly touch with Clorox or medicine alcohol. The CDC says there is no need for wearing a mask, only those that are sick should wear one and this is because masks won’t protect you from breathing in the virus, however, it stops those who have it from spreading it.

Having said that, this is a new virus and professionals don’t know everything about it yet, so if I was living in a city with an outbreak I would definitely wear a mask for protection. It won’t hurt me. Now, to our regular post. Earth has been extraordinarily good to all of us, it has kept us with oxygen, sunlight, perfect nature, and so much more, so why not return the favor and help save it. You don’t need to be a Democrat to understand and believe science, however, it would help if we voted for the right person coming this November.

recycling, composting

It’s all about saving our planet.  Unfortunately, our current climate crisis puts us in a situation where we must find a way to reduce the pollutants that fossil fuel companies are releasing into the atmosphere as well as limiting our personal contributions to our landfills.  As our population continues to grow, the implication of every individual carbon footprint is impacting the future of our planet.  Luckily, we are continually educating ourselves about earth-friendly methods of responsible sustainability where we can adjust our lifestyles and contribute to a more environmentally conscious society.  Recycling and composting are great ways we can contribute to the healing and future growth of our planet.

Climate change, ocean change

Today officially starts Autumn, but it feels more like a humid summer.  Our planet is warming up at an alarming rate and, the truth is, we can’t just say climate change is happening and leave it at that and not do anything about it and go on with our lives as if it doesn’t affect us.  Failing to act to save our planet, even when we believe in climate change, does not make us any different from someone who is denying this fact.  At the end of the day, the consequences are the same.  Ever since the beginning, our planet has gone through a few climate changes, only that the last time was 7,000 years ago.  The current climate change we are experiencing right now is happing at an unprecedented rate, and 95% is as a result of human activities.  What are you willing to do to preserve our planet?  What steps are you taking to reduce your footprint in our ecosystem?  If as mothers, we can’t even answer our children’s questions about why our planet is changing, how are we ever going to face them in the future if we fail to act?

Evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming… Global sea levels rose about 8 inches in the last century.  The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the previous century and is accelerating slightly every year… source.
