Sustainability
The Future of Earth | The ultimate change of our planet explained briefly.
The Future of Earth and the life on it. The future of life on earth and the structure of the earth can be ruled out depending on the limited effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry of the earth's surface, the degree of cooling the interior of the planet, the interaction of gravity and other elements in the Solar System, and the further increase in sunlight. What is uncertain about this release is the continuing influence of man-made technologies, such as climate engineering, that could revolutionize the world. The current extinction of the Holocene is due to technology and the effects can last up to five million years. Also, technology could lead to the extinction of humanity, leaving the planet to slowly return to the gradual evolution of long-term natural processes.

The Earth Will Sweat Less
Ever wondered the newspapers your house collects are actually the doors for your input to the better future. The houses we live in are made of concrete which by the way are one of the major carbon emitting sources of green house gases and they can be easily replaced with materials like Fly Ash, Silica Fume, and Wood Ash typically called green alternative for conventional concrete. There are many more such cautious choices we make uncautiously. Let's embark on a journey where we can make better choices for a better world.

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.

Boycott Green Washing. Third Place in Wave Makers Challenge.
“Oh, look at the cute little ducklings they are rescuing from oil spills. They really do care about the planet.” Have you ever had this thought while considering what dish soap to purchase? I hate to say it, but if you have, you are a victim of greenwashing. Greenwashing is how corporate entities make themselves look good at a glance, creating a positive public persona in order to sell more products. In this article, I am going to share a few companies to consider boycotting for the health of our oceans and our planet—and you, the consumer of those products.

How "green" is your diet?
An article in the “Times Magazine” (the London newspaper’s weekend colour supplement), posed some very interesting questions on the subject of whether we could all do a lot more to get our carbon footprints under control by adjusting our personal diets. The article was based on research in a book by Professor Sarah Bridle, an astrophysicist turned environmentalist, who has come up with amazing (and highly disturbing) facts and figures relating to the impact that our food choices make on global emissions of greenhouse gases, which in turn lead to global warming and ocean acidification.

Is solar power the answer?
There is a sense in which all energy is solar energy. Every energy source we have on planet Earth derives originally from the Sun, although there could be arguments over those that depend on the heat trapped deep down in the Earth’s mantle and core. Every gallon of fuel you use started out as zillions of life-forms that derived their energy from the rays of the Sun.
