As the global population continues to grow, food production will need to increase to meet the needs of humanity. Water availability is the ultimate concern and agriculture is vital for food security.

We Did This: We Must Get It Right The First Time Around
Growing Studies have estimated that there are now 15-51 trillion pieces of plastic in the oceans of the world. From the equator to the poles, from the Arctic ice sheets to the ocean floor. Not one square mile of surface ocean anywhere on earth is free of plastic pollution. At least 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year and make up 80% of all marine debris from surface water to deep-sea sediments. This problem is turning into a crisis.

5 Benefits of Solar Energy to the Environment
Solar Energy is a safe and reliable solution for everyone, including Australian homeowners and business owners. Solar energy Sydney can solve many of our energy problems. With just a little bit of sunlight, we can generate clean and sustainable electricity. Most people don't think of solar energy as a viable alternative to fossil fuels because it's expensive. However, this type of solar energy production is becoming more affordable every day. The price of panels has dropped over 70% over the last three years making solar energy more accessible than ever before. The reason is that it helps in reducing the cost of electricity and carbon footprints in the environment.

Find Somebody who'll Listen
Q. How do you reduce a carbon footprint? A. By adding water. Look, it's no big secret that the western 2/3 of the US is getting bone-dry or already bone-dry. It's also no secret that there's too much water in various places and not enough in others. Look at any water map of the United States and you'll see that the biggest threat to a second American Civil War is the western 2/3 of the US panicking and coming after the eastern 1/3 of the US, simply for its water resources.

Harnessing the Influence of Business to Fight Climate Change
Coming out of lockdown and returning to normal, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) need to play their part in helping the UK achieve net-zero emissions. However, a report carried out by a coalition of top business groups, energy networks, and expert bodies reported that many don’t know how they can cut their carbon emissions, are unsure where to start, don’t know where they can get help, and don’t have time to research a net-zero strategy. Furthermore, SMBs need such a strategy to be financially viable.

Seashells To Plastic
As summer quickly approaches, we will all flock to the beaches to watch waves, dip our toes in the seafoam, and hid our fries from the seagulls. This year, the beach may look a bit different, but why? Has something about the sea change? In terms of plastic, 8.3 million tons are discarded in the sea yearly. Here's the big shocker - it's catching up to us.

Why I'm Quitting Avocados. First Place in Wave Makers Challenge. Top Story - May 2021.
Millennial woman loves avocados: sounds like a headline from the Onion. But I really, really do love them. I didn’t eat avocados every day, but on the days when I didn’t, they were sitting in my fruit bowl waiting to ripen. Just thinking of them makes my mouth water; the buttery taste, the squishy green flesh, the creamy splendour of the really good ones. And yet, despite what could perhaps be described as an obsession with the little green beauty, last year I concluded that I have to give them up. Yes, with a very heavy heart, I cancelled avocados.

Broken Heart Balloon
When you live half of your life on a sailboat, you develop a healthy respect for nature and climate. In 2014, it was the coldest winter in 200 years. The Great Lakes froze almost entirely over. That's the year my partner decided to start living on his boat at a dock on Lake Ontario. While he had it set up to be cozy inside, it became clear that climate change was happening around us, and we needed to pay attention. The following year I helped moved the boat down the Erie Canal system, into the Hudson River, and out on the ocean. We later continued our travels on the Inter Coastal Waterway to West Palm Beach, Florida.
