Be Prepared to Protest because We Have to Speak Up For The Earth
America is a lot of things but it is also the place where if you do not like a law or if something is happening that you do not agree with then you can change it. This is an amazing thing when the government or business overstep and hurt American people.

A Perspective on Climate Change
Climate change, where to begin? A topic that is constantly making front pages, always being debated and seemingly - still - changing for the worse. The political climate has followed suit in changing for the worse too, as many of the younger generations are starting to question - what the hell are governments doing?

Election 2020
With the world rapidly changing as the United States continues to fall behind so many of us wonder how long can government continue to fail the American public? The US has the means at it's disposal to rectify the inhuman conditions of millions of Americans and yet our elected officials fiddle as the United States burns to the ground.

This article is a continuation from Part One, if you haven't already read Part One, you can find it here. When analysing a situation, typically the effects are split up into three categories: social, economic and environmental; with all three categories merging into the others one way or another. The objective of these articles is to go into some detail in each of the categories and assess what we can learn from the coronavirus pandemic. So, what more can we learn?

Clean & Sanitary Water
IWSH is the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene foundation. The foundation focuses on health, prosperity, and to help provide a better world with clean and sanitary water globally. IWSH beliefs along with CAWST, WE and the United Nations Goal 6 all have one goal in common and that is to help create a better world. With the help of these other organizations it brings in a larger skilled workforce to design and build the much-needed water and sanitation systems. These three organizations have broader connections globally which allows for larger opportunities for them to accomplish their goals. This will be a new change since IWSH mainly has worked with the USA, India, Nepal, South Africa, and Indonesia in the past.

Let ME!!!
Last Sunday. That’s the first we had been able to do a much-needed litter pick from early December when the winds revealed just how much trash the so-called highest level of the food chain had dropped, ditched and dumped. I have zero tolerance. If it’s possible…my 9-yr. old has even less.

It’s Been 128 Years Since the Homestead Strikes, and Amazon Has Learned Nothing.
Amazon has decided to show where they stand when it comes to their employees striking for paid leave and better working conditions. This past Monday, workers at the Staten Island Amazon Fulfillment Center, a building with over 4,000 employees, held a walkout to protest the continued operation of the facility. Chris Smalls, the walkout’s organizer, called for the building to be closed and cleaned after at least one employee tested positive for COVID-19. Smalls was fired shortly afterward, which has received massive backlash from both the public and state officials including both New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York State Attorney General Letitia James. Along with them, leaders of the AFL-CIO, the main U.S. labor federation, are calling for independent monitors to investigate the conditions within the facility.
