5 easy changes to make a change
When I first decided that I really wanted to make a change and do my part to help the environment, I have to admit I got totally overwhelmed. There were so many choices on changes that you can make to really make a difference. And while I thought it was important, was I really prepared to get rid of almost everything I had and buy new things? I could afford that, and that is also not better for the environment to toss certain things. When I first started doing research I gave up, saying that's too much for me to handle never mind. However, it was really important to me, so I would come back to it determined that I was going to do something better. Here are 5 very easy things you can do to start your journey of being better for the environment.

The Yellow Cedar Tree
Hello, I am a yellow-cedar, and I live in Canada's oldest forest in the Caren Range on the Sunshine Coast. I still remember the day a Megalonyx fertilized my seed 1835 years ago. I fought hard to sprout up from the ground. I wasn't sure I would make it, but my fighting spirit prevailed. Now I'm the tallest and the oldest tree in the forest.

The desire of human beings to eat meat is having a devastating impact on the planet we live on. This is not only because of the destructive pattern of land use that results but also because of the behaviour of the vast numbers of animals that are reared for food.

It's Now Or Never
It had become such a concern of mine many years ago, approximately twenty-five years to be exact. I found myself in the bottom of my own self- reflection pool where my subconscious rules what my waking self had trouble understanding. My biggest fear wasn't my carbon footprint , it was the fact that we have a system that seems broken but really isn't it was designed to bring us to ruin, that is all we have come to learn about how we are more or less divine, but react as nothing more than all-consuming viruses, capable of consuming, devouring and destroying everything, including the world in which we live. I personally hated biochemical threats of warfare, especially when there really wasn't anything worth fighting for from that point of view. So being raw was probably a good thing inasmuch as a clean slate can hold more than a full slate of misguided preconceived notions about how we should live our lives.

The Long View
The Long View Mankind, even as cave dwellers, was motivationally incapable of keeping the caves clean. Now, as world citizens, we as a species are probably incapable of cleaning up our oceans and landmass of earth's litter and cast offs. Even space is getting filled with earth's flotsam and jetsam. Space debris is a real and growing problem.

Bleeding On The Run, Sustainable Periods While Traveling
A little background, I am a bleeding human. I also travel a lot and care about the planet. I know that period products are horrendous, not only for the people who use them (and their bodies) but for the planet (and her celestial body).
