One of the more intriguing mysteries in the natural world is found deep in the backcountry of Death Valley National Park in California. The park is located in southwestern California, roughly between Las Vegas NV, and Bakersfield. The park has a dry lake or playa where the stones can be found. Many theories have been advanced to try to explain […]

A quick review of front-page news of the last few years brings us to ask the question: Are mine tailings regulations sufficient to assure the protection of human life and eliminate ecological disaster? The Piney Point phosphate mine in Florida and the Córrego de Feijão iron mine in Brumadinho Brazil among others throughout the world would seem to indicate that […]
In order to understand what is driving Amazon deforestation, we need to examine the entire process. We need to step back from the individual phases and see the overall picture. As we examine the full cycle of the deforestation process we can get a clearer view, and perhaps see what is the major contributing factor. It starts with illegal felling […]
The increasing ocean acidification threatens marine life in known and unknown ways. The oceans are acidifying at the fastest rate in many millions of years. The absorption of CO2 by water causes acidification. This is a natural process, which forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). The breakdown of the carbonic acid results in the reduction of carbonate ions (CO3(2-)). To make a […]
This video calls attention to how these important insects are being threatened. Modern agriculture’s bad practices are taking these essential and vulnerable insects to the brink of extinction.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is the best known and largest of the oceanic garbage patches but it is not the only one. Garbage patches are formed in what is called a gyre, a place where ocean currents naturally form rotating areas of water. These currents “suck” in floating and submerged debris, causing large accumulations of junk, mostly made […]
The Earth’s oceans are in trouble, in large part due to actions made by humankind. The human species has been using the oceans as a food source and a garbage dump for millennia. These direct misuses have taken their toll, but now, global warming is adding new factors to the equation. Four of the main problems facing the world’s oceans […]
In the middle of a pandemic emotions and reflections seem to be more intense than in other times. We develop questions in our mind about ourselves like what we really are, what is the role of our existence, no matter where you live in any continent!
Staying isolated, watching the pain of the ones who lost their loved ones, feeling small and helpless we devoted our time analyzing what is going on around the Globe.
During a lockdown, we wake up to the fact that we all belong to a whole, to the same planet and we find that anybody in any continent can observe and voice opinions about the latest events such as the Virus, Climate Changing, Global Warming and so goes on!
We are surrounded by uncertainties, fears, and doubts. What is Global Warming, is it a reaction of the Planet against the pollution of the seas, against the devastation of forests, against the growing use of natural resources?
We are in dark mode, looking around us, becoming more curious, waiting for answers that may not come, but yet all of us live on the same planet.
We are part of the problem because we make part of this as a whole and have the obligation to be responsible and responsive to what is affecting the Globe and work with the possible means in our hands to make it better.
So, it was in the middle of that, which was maybe the most difficult time in our lives, the center of the biggest sanitary crisis that we decided to voice our thoughts through a journal. This journal is a loner, it has no political ties or ideology, no pretension to be something bigger than it is, it is just the expression of something that has been looked at, but never seen from what is happening on our planet these days!
