Types of Water Pollution? How to Avoid Water Pollution?
What is Water Pollution? Water Pollution refers to any type of contamination that can occur due to the drainage of contaminated water, either surface runoff or groundwater. What exactly is water pollution? Water pollution occurs when contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides and bacteria are introduced into the natural water system. These contaminants then interact with living organisms present in the water system, resulting in the generation of toxic byproducts.

Carbon Neutrality 101: When Dunder Mifflin Went Carbon Neutral
Every week, there's a host of companies, cities, and countries announcing their commitment to reducing their net carbon emissions within a certain timeframe. With the threats of climate change getting more and more apparent with frequent forest fires, cyclones, changing rain patterns, and the likes, the pressure on organizations to curb their contribution to climate change is more than ever. What happens when Dunder Mifflin Scranton sit down to brainstorm on ways to go carbon neutral? If you haven’t watched The Office (the American one, to be more specific), you might wanna skip to the 4th paragraph.

What happens if human beings sleep for 1000 years and then wake up
If humans ceased to exist, 3.5 million tons of garbage from Japan to California would not be collected. This means that more plastic waste will wander in the streets, forests and oceans. If we wake up 1,000 years later and still have plastic McDonald’s cups around, it’s not surprising. But this is not all bad news, because the disappearance of mankind will have great benefits for the earth and all its characteristics.

Blue-Throated Macaws: A Rediscovered Species. Top Story - June 2021.
I often think about how large the world is and how little we know about it. The critically endangered Blue-Throated Macaw (Ara glaucogularis), found only in Bolivia, is a beautiful macaw from hot, humid lowlands prone to regular flooding. For some years, it was thought to be extinct. Or, perhaps, it was thought not to exist at all.

Butterfly Life & Entomological Society
Life's light is purely magical. Bright colors make us whimsical. Butterflies are a spectacle! I just adore bright butterflies. We entrance & dazzle the eyes. We can tell the truth from the lies. We’ve a unique process of life. In the air we float free of strife. Our lives touch hearts, just ask your wife. Our natures truly amazing! Our bright colors appear blazing. Our importance we are raising. Our life begins as a small egg. Like a light coded gene dream keg. Nature provides no need to beg. When we emerge, we’re called larva. Through our egg shell’s our jaws carva. We suck the leaf's vena cava. Soon we become caterpillars. We devour leaves like killers. We stuff ourselves with life's fillers.

My Garden
Nightmares. Damp sheets, fevered skin, broken sleep. Frequent tears, sobbed into the shirt of a comforting shoulder, broken heart. Restlessness.

Another Twig
No true image exists for this true story. When a poet decides to take a step, and walk, poetry pops out much later, and the direction is often of no consequence. Left may be a dead-end, right may be some other kind of hell, forward may look like death, and backward is almost impossible. There are no wings to fly up, but if there are some stairs, it is something. The same applies to going down, but nobody wants to go to the basement where the possibilities are darker like a moonless night, even if there is some artificial light. There are six possibilities to choose from at most.

Do you know about White Peacocks?
What comes first in your mind when we talk about peacocks? Their colourful feathers, right? Yes, of course, whenever it comes to peacocks, their spread colourful feathers are the first thing that comes to our mind.

Cultivating Joy
Growing up helping Mom and Dad in our garden, I always thought there was something magical and empowering about working the ground, planting a seed and putting food on our table. Likewise, it is deeply spiritual to me to stare up a towering silver maple that I remember Dad putting in the ground as a sapling; the same tree I used to cut the suckers and water sprouts from so one main trunk would grow tall, straight and true.

The Bug Haters Club
I love the outdoors. It’s one of the sweetest parts of living in Canada. I *also* hate bugs. Even as a small child, I knew I had to find a way to make these two coexist. And as I got older, I found others like me ~ AKA bug detesting, nature enthusiasts.

The Garden
Waking up before the sun has crept to the southern side of my house is my favorite time of the day. It's early enough that dew is still upon the grass, and the hummingbirds are tasting their morning nectar. As always, I steal away to the front porch with a steaming cup of coffee. I think of my day as I rock back and forth in my chair. Should I pluck the weeds from my flowers or mow the grass today? Moments later, my thoughts come back from a place unknown, and I decide that my flowers need me the most.
