It is pretty well-known now that there is a serious mess going on in Australia right now: it's on fire. I don't know about you guys, but the extent of knowledge on that before I wrote this post was stuff I was seeing on Instagram: posts of koalas in casts, a silhouette of a kangaroo … Continue reading Australia Fires →

Cover photo provided by Faith Crawford, of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA. Hey guys! Happy Holidays!! Since 2019 is coming to an end, I thought I would highlight some environmental good news, issues we need to continue to work on, and other things I can't end the year without talking about.

It's hard to go into detail about why each animal/organism is going extinct or how to help each one specifically, so I'll only … Continue reading Endangered Species →

Today's post will merge my two majors for the first time on my blog: urban studies and environmental studies. These topics and the issues within them are often very related, so I thought it would be good to make a post about how cities can effect the environment and how we can be better when … Continue reading The City and Environment →

Last week's Instagram challenge (@walktheearth__) was about water conservation. This is an important aspect of environmental protection and conservation, and is simple but can also be one of the hardest to do. If you don't follow or don't have an Instagram, I will be posting the challenges in my blog posts at the end so … Continue reading Water Conservation and Protection →

If you follow me on Instagram (@walktheearth__) or read my last blog post, you know that this past week's challenge has been all about calculating your ecological footprint.
