To Ukraine With Love
There are no words to describe the horrors and hell that you are facing right now. What is happening to you should not be happening to anyone. For what it is worth, you are in every thought, prayer, and best wish from myself and everyone else I know. I can’t help but admire how brave you all are being with bullets flying, bombs going off, and being rushed away at a second’s notice. War is horrible and good for absolutely nothing. (Yes, just like the song.)

The Effects of a Nuclear War
As geopolitical tensions rise in nuclear-armed states, we start wondering what would happen if a nuclear war started. The horrific devastation and suffering witnessed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 warn us of the dangers of such a nuclear war. At that time different organizations began documenting the effects of the nuclear explosions on human health, and the environment. The blast wave, the thermal wave, and the radiation generated by nuclear explosions have devastating short and long-term effects on the human body.

Mass Extinction
Mass Extinction: Oceans Our planet today is arguably facing the biggest mass extinction event of history which would destroy billions of years of fossils, artifacts, and species development/diversity that has grown over the millions of years between extinction events. This type of genetic diversity and evolution would take millions of years to form again, especially for human organisms to form as they once had.

Trees are Not for Poor People
While mocking tree equity, critics of the provision ignore what it's like to die of extreme heat. When core body temperature reaches a hundred and four degrees and higher, a person can become confused or lost in delirium, nonresponsive. Heat-stroke victims are consumed by nausea and difficulty breathing. They vomit. They can't hold water. Finally, the body breaks down. Organs fail and emit toxins. It is a painful, often lonely death. It's also a preventable one.

Being in nature can restore my mood, give me back my energy and vitality, refresh and rejuvenate me. I have a deep appreciation for beautiful landscapes.

Wildfire Problems, Wild Horse Solutions
Wildfires increasingly plague the inland Northwest each summer. Not only does this destroy homes, land, and affect air quality, in 2018 alone it cost Washington state $173,685,041 in damages (USDA Forest Service, 2018). The fire season continues to increase with warmer temperatures earlier in the season and draught being a common occurrence each summer. This allows fuels to dry out, which are also increasing due to the continuing expansion of invasive grasses such as cheatgrass. This causes millions of acres of land to become prime flammable areas. Although the very wet and cold winters of the region do help some, they more often cause an overgrowth of vegetation in the spring which then dries out and adds to the fuel later in the season. Of course, climate change is one of the most common explanations for this, but fire policy is another. The way that this is managed has not caused an increase in the number of fires, but an increase in fire intensity and acres burnt (Ward, 2018).
