The impact of city life on your health
For most of my life, I lived with my family in an isolated mountain village on the border of Switzerland. I did grow up surrounded by mountains, happy cows and a lot of nature. We lived in an old house and I loved the smell of our old wooden furniture.

Western Chorus Frog Citizen Science Research
Western chorus frog populations of the Great Lakes/St.Lawrence/Canadian Shield are currently listed as a threatened species by COSEWIC however not much is known about the full range of the frogs. Blazing Star Environmental (BSE) is looking to learn more about this species through a three-year citizen science program in Southern Ontario. While it started last year in 2020, BSE is still looking for volunteers this season and next season. On February 6/2021, two members of BSE hosted an information webinar about the Western Chorus Frog Long-Term Monitoring Program, this article is an account of the webinar that took place.

Soil and Trouble
I had left my office job a couple of months earlier, and that's another story. There were a few bar shifts a week in a nearby town to begin with, and the first news reports from China of a new virus. Another thing to worry about. To save money, we moved in with my parents, a 3-acre plot of clay and tall grass near the County Antrim coast.

How plastic-eating bacteria works to solve the pollution problem
Plastic-eating bacteria! Might it solve the pollution problem? Micro-plastics have shown that they are really becoming a massive problem for the environment and even invading our food chain. To put it simply, all types of plastic waste are impacting our ecosystem from the highest mountain to the depths of the ocean.

My headcanon (for life)
My headcanon (for life): I was dog-sitting one time in Southern Oregon for this derpy dog, Howard. Many walks we took - with INFP me deeply interested in understanding the mind of Howard, to understand why he felt so compelled to pull me to certain places, utterly uninterested in others. And this headcanon formed.

Covid-19 is a Walk In The Park Compared To What’s Coming Next
The planet is in a much worse state than you thought it was. Ignorance and political inaction are threatening the very survival of life on earth. We are heading for mass extinction much earlier than anyone predicted.

The Grey
We’re in an age where the ‘facts’ our parents were so insistent we popped off to university to gather (from learned folk), are the very topics of discussion that see Uncle Brian storm away from Christmas dinner into the welcoming arms of a Benson & Hedges, or cause the Construction Manager at work to dive into a 'not-so-subtle-right-wing-rant' about ‘snowflakes’, ‘socialism’, and some on brand form of faux political righteousness.

The Dark Continent
In all probability Global population will exceed 10 billion by the year 2050. The impact of such an influx growth of the world's population on existing food supplies without first increasing the resources to avail more harvestable edible food crops the world will come face to face with a Global Famine that would trigger a catastrophe of Biblical proportions. The question every government must now be asking; how will we be able to thwart a pending disaster and still be able to feed the hungry multitudes on a Global scale?

Nature Avoidant
Nature expands the heart and connects us deeply, but it is also an intense uncertainty and death anxiety. Long ago we began to shape nature to feel more safe and certain. More shape and structure moved us further and further away from the place that expands our heart. Wild and free plant life is banned in major cities. Allowing nature to be free is literally not allowed. We can only tolerate seeing nature through our symbolic conquering of its death and uncertainty. We mechanized behavior with money. We ran so far from nature we forgot that we are part of nature. If we had nature as our self concept, we would see that we restrict nature we restrict humanity along with it.
