The Sun Will Shine and the Wind will Blow
I’m an optimist. I have high hopes for the future of Planet Earth. I believe that the techies of this day will prevail in giving us affordable electric vehicles with solid state batteries that will be capable of getting us from one side of the country to the other using an infrastructure tailored to that end. I’m already seeing the fruits of those who dream such things. There are more and more charging stations out there.

How I Enslaved Hundreds to Do My Dirty Work In Saving the Planet
Compost is organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow. Food scraps and yard waste together currently make up more than 30 percent of what we throw away and could be composted instead. Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.--Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website

The Global Warming & Impact
A global war is raging over an ocean at the very top of the world. Global warming has affected the Arctic over the last three decades. While most of the world views this as a looming catastrophe, five Arctic nations stand to gain. As the ice melts, the United States, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Russia see an opportunity for new trading routes and potentially lucrative natural resource deals. This paper will explore the origins of this conflict and the consequences (dire and sound) of owning this resource-rich property.

My Lifetime Love Affair With Cotton
When I'm asked what items of clothing I'd like to see come back in fashion, I'd easily say all-cotton baggy, comfortable jeans and cargo pants for women with lots of big pockets... and maybe 100% cotton over-sized t-shirts, not too high on the neckline but not so low that my bra is exposed.

You Gotta Put Your Behind In Your Past
My wish is not for the reinvigoration of one specific style. What I seek is a return to simpler times when clothing was made by an individual, rather than purchased from a fast-fashion site or big brand store. A time when each article of clothing was unique and made with love.

Is it a Bald Eagle?
Recently while on my layover in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I took a walk around the lovely little downtown. I didn't have enough time to go skiing, tubing, or anything wintry. I couldn't really sightsee either, as we had arrived late the night before and getting up early was out of the question. Touring the town was as close to "when in Rome" as my schedule would permit, and outside I ventured with a positive attitude that I was able to at least do that.

A Love Letter to our Mother
She is so exhausted - has been trying SO HARD to keep going, keep supplying, hoping we will wake up and step up for Her. I was buying potatoes when I began to cry. Just suddenly…. tears began to leak. I held this fruit of Hers in my hand and I felt Her heart - She has given all that She can, shown us where She needs us to wake up and grow up, and we have ignored Her.

Facts About Desert
Deserts are places that have little water and do not rain together for nearly months and sometimes even once a year. Therefore, they are the driest place on Earth. But for the animals that live here, it is difficult for them to live for long periods of time without water, especially during the summer. So they find their own alternative ways to beat such difficult conditions of the environment.
