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.

Small, Everyday Choices
Values are the foundation to our policies and lead to how we decide to get things done in life. To be aware of one's impact on their surroundings, especially on a small scale, leads to a momentous shift in consciousness and to procedures changing over time.

5 Tips to Reduce U.S. Carbon Emissions
As wild as this may sound, if you plan to be alive at any time during the next 100 years, atmospheric carbon is going to impact your life. While there has always been carbon in the atmosphere, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are higher today than at any other point in the last 800,000 years. [1] Over the past 60 years, annual atmospheric CO2 has risen about 100 times faster than any previous natural increase. [2] Scientific consensus overwhelmingly confirms that these increases are fueled by human activities like heating, transportation, electricity, and manufacturing.

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.

Could I finally achieve my dream to help the suffering life in the Outside? As for what led me to this spot, it all begins many years ago with an early morning walk on the beach…

"Can you not also build bridges out of stone?"
There is a Monty Python skit where a rabble of pitchfork wielding peasants present a suspected witch to a medieval knight, Sir Bedivere, and ask if they can burn her. As the only man present who “hasn’t got sh*$ all over him,” Bedivere is the defacto village authority, and it falls to him to determine if this unfortunate woman is a witch? With the jostling crowd growing angrier at every passing second, Bedivere delves deep into his stores of medieval logic and pulls out an explanation: witches burn because they are made of wood. So how to prove this woman is made of wood? “Build a bridge out of her!” one man yells. Bedivere wisely considers, but then asks, “but can you not also make bridges out of stone?”
