Climate Change on Earth: A Growing Crisis and Urgent Need for Green Solutions

Climate change On Earth is a pressing global issue that has far-reaching implications for our planet and its inhabitants. It refers to long-term shifts in Earth's average temperature and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities.

Green Eco System

Causes of Climate Change:

Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The primary driver of climate change is the excessive release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming effect.

Deforestation: Cutting down forests reduces their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, contributing to the overall increase in greenhouse gas levels.

Industrial Activities: Industrial processes, such as manufacturing and transportation, release significant amounts of greenhouse gases.

Effects of Climate Change:

Rising Sea Levels: As Earth's temperature increases, glaciers and ice caps melt, contributing to rising sea levels. This threatens coastal communities and low-lying islands.

Extreme Weather Events: Climate change is making extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heatwaves, more frequent and severe.

Loss of Biodiversity: Climate change is disrupting ecosystems and leading to the loss of biodiversity. Many species are struggling to adapt to changing conditions.

Food Insecurity: Climate change can affect agricultural productivity, leading to food shortages and higher prices.

Health Risks: Extreme weather events, air pollution, and the spread of diseases can pose significant health risks.

Solutions to Climate Change:

Transition to Renewable Energy: Shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro power can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy Efficiency: Improving energy efficiency in homes, businesses, and transportation can help conserve energy and reduce our carbon footprint.

Sustainable Practices: Adopting sustainable practices in agriculture, transportation, and industry can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect natural resources.

Reforestation and Afforestation: Planting trees can help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and restore damaged ecosystems.

International Cooperation: Global collaboration is essential to address climate change effectively. International agreements and initiatives can promote collective action.

Benefits of a Green Ecosystem:

Climate Mitigation: A green ecosystem, characterized by abundant forests, healthy ecosystems, and sustainable practices, plays a vital role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Biodiversity Conservation: A green ecosystem supports a diverse range of plant and animal species, promoting biodiversity and ecological resilience.

Improved Air Quality: Forests and other green spaces help purify the air by filtering pollutants and releasing oxygen.

Water Conservation: A green ecosystem can help regulate water cycles, reduce soil erosion, and prevent water pollution.

Economic Benefits: Investing in green infrastructure and sustainable practices can create jobs and stimulate economic growth.

By understanding the causes, effects, and potential solutions to climate change, we can take collective action to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

A green ecosystem is essential for addressing climate change and building a resilient and sustainable world. Let's work together to create a greener planet for all.

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.

arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.

Do people know most paper receipts are harmful to their health?

I'm going to get up on my soapbox for a minute, but do people realize how pretty much everyone is being overloaded with endocrine disruptors like BPA/BPS on a near-daily basis??

I don't think many people understand that ever since most of the world transitioned to thermal paper receipts (cheaper than ink), almost every receipt you handle from the gas station to the grocery store to the Square terminal printer at the local co-op is coated with Bisphenol-A (BPA) or its chemical cousin Bisphenol-S (BPS).

These chemicals have not only been proven to cause reproductive harm to human and animals, they've also been linked to obesity and attention disorders.

Not sure if your receipt is a thermal receipt? If you scratch it with a coin and it turns dark, it's thermal.

BPA/BPS can enter the skin to a depth such that it is no longer removable by washing hands. When taking hold of a receipt consisting of thermal printing paper for five seconds, roughly 1 μg BPA is transferred to the forefinger and the middle finger. If the skin is dry or greasy, it is about ten times more. 

Think of how many receipts you handle every day. It's even worse for cashiers and tellers, who may handle hundreds in a single shift. It is also a class issue, since many people who work retail and food service are lower-income and will suffer worse health consequences over time from the near-constant exposure.

Not only that, receipts printed with thermal ink are NOT recyclable, as they pollute the rest of the paper products with the chemicals.

People don't know this and recycle them anyway, so when you buy that "green" toilet paper that says "100% recycled"? Yup, you are probably wiping your most sensitive areas with those same chemicals (for this reason, I buy bamboo or sugarcane toilet paper as a sustainable alternative to recycled paper).

This page from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has some good links if you want to learn more.

As consumers, we need to demand better from our businesses and from our governments. We need regulation of these chemicals yesterday.

If you are a buyer or decision-maker for a business, the link above also contains a shortlist of receipt paper manufacturers that are phenol-free.

If you work at a register, ask customers if they want a receipt. If they don't and you can end the transaction without printing one, don't print one!

As a consumer, fold receipts with the ink on the inside, since that's where the coating is. Some more good tips here.

And whatever you do, DO NOT RECYCLE THERMAL RECEIPTS

Pirate and prince AU - Adventure edition

This was one of the AUs I’ve been keeping in my gallery for sometime now, watching it collect dust. While I’m on the brink of art block I wanna share this!

Though this AU can be applied to any Red and Green/Blue versions I chose adventure, It’s basically just about Green being a shut in Prince of Pallet and Red trying to get some treasure was like: “Yo sup.” “WHY ARE YOU IN MY CASTL-” And then that’s how they become friends.

A few of you who were here on tungles abut 6 years ago might remember this Solavellan project I made. For numerous reasons (not least of all legalese ones because I used a copyrighted language in the lyrics), I couldn't and didn't formally release it.

Despite the uphill battle I faced during the creation process, I believed in the underlying idea and had always planned on remaking it into something but didn't know what. A few months ago, I finally just went with my gut and tried a full piano solo. It quickly expanded from the original and got a LOT more feral, but that still suits it.

It really takes me out when I see people insist that “Season 2 ends on a cliffhanger!!”

Like… do you really need an entire season of television to tell you what Victor was gonna do with that final Tear of Gold and the entire Elixir of Life recipe from the Book of Isis he had on hand? Cuz I certainly don’t.

MOE. SUMMER ALT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

BIGGEST thing about Moe history is that for Literally Actual Years. I have been trying SO hard to get a beach outfit for it Right. I always had some aspects of it in mind (the white cover-up -- initially sheer, but I like the idea that it's a light shawl kinda like Lyon's, here). But a lot of my designs felt too feminine. Moe is about Balance. Moe is about Mishmash. Moe is about The Silly Factor. It's also unexpectedly practical and loves questionable fashion choices.

All this in mind! I think its Look really came together when I decided to give it some sporty touches. I esp love the wet shoes... and the visor works so well on it?? The little fish skeleton is a handmade accessory (not actual bones.), like its "tail" in its everyday outfit. I imagine it's jointed/maybe chain linked, so it has some movement to it! The skeleton adds a bit of edge it always has, and ALMOST. Gives a manta ray silhouette paired with the shawl (most noticeable in the topmost art! Didn't set out to do that, but when I noticed this I ran w it LMFAOO)

And. Some doodles

Would you write anything with/about Spider-man 2099? 👀

This ask made me scroll back in my blog and go, "Wait did I actually write the entire manifesto on why Miguel is a communist icon because I thought I had refrained from that."

I'm 95% sure that I did, in fact, refrain from explaining why there are only two good superhero media (The Incredible Hulk 1977 and Spider-man 2099) because they are the only two truly socialist superhero media. I must have mentioned that I fucking loved Spider-man 2099 somewhere. Because I fucking do. Miguel is THE character of all time. I love Spider-Man, I love characters who are COMPLETE DICKS, I love guys who just kinda wanna go home and sleep.

I absolutely would write something for him, I fucking love that guy. I haven't had a really solid idea yet, one that would make a story that would get off the ground, but if the stars align then hell yeah. Miguel is the perfect superhero because he never once tries to stop anybody from robbing a bank, committing a crime, disturbing the peace, etc. He will only ever do anything helpful if it fucks over Cyberpunk Dystopia Evil Corp, because he hates them, or if his brother nags him to do something about systematic oppression. Over the course of all of Spider-Man 2099 he stops ONE mugging. Because a cop was mugging a woman. So he could beat up the cop. Character of ALL TIME.

....this isn't a story idea but I was absolutely joking about hypothetically:

imagining one of those tepid-ass mcu spider-man fanfic where there's a class field trip to stark industies or something and peter's outed as Tony Stark's Baby Son Boy, of which there are literally 500 and every one is exactly the same I don't read mcu peter fanfic anyway

tropey fic where peter's doing that tropey hijinky runs away from crowd of friends to hide in a broom closet and preserve his secret identity

except he just opens the door to an abandoned wet lab to see miguel electrocuting a rat or something

peter is fucking convinced dr ohara is a mad scientist stealing starktech genetic secrets. tony doesn't listen because he thinks peters feelings are just hurt after miguel called him the saltine cracker of nepotism. miguel is, of course, stealing starktech time travel technology. meanwhile a guy in a black spider suit is firebombing the NYPD

miguel assumes that the richer and more important you are, the more evil you are. faced with involuntary time travel, he is operating under his standard MO of finding the most evil corporation in the tristate area and looking them up on glassdoor. working under this assumption, miguel assumes itll be too much work to go ahead and kill tony stark in the name of the proletariat but he does slowly sabotage their entire genetics division.

MJ threatens to break up with Peter if he tries to stop the NYPD from being firebombed
