Global warming: A New Look on an Old Topic I personally believe in global warming and the effects it has on our planet, hence why I’ve been writing about lowering your carbon footprint and other things of that sort. I also believe though that global warming is a process of this planet that we might be putting too much stock into. I’m sure that all of you are asking what I mean by this, but there are two words that I think relate with this perfectly: Ice Ages. According to professionals in the field, there have been at least five significant ice ages within the last 1 million years, not just one. In other words, the earth goes through these like they’re tissue paper and use them to balance out itself. If there are periods where the planet starts to get warm, then there’s going to be periods where the planet gets really cold too. It’s all just part of cycles, like the seasons being a micro cycle or living animals having their own cycles for life. Nature is obsessed with cy...

These are able to do a number of things to help us keep track of a plethora of items like sleep, activity and stress levels to name a few. Some trackers are able to do more than just this though!

Our Final Services And Alternative Ways to Rest in Peace As I mentioned previously in one of my articles, I recently experienced a loss in my family and a fantastic father figure when I never had one. I will truly miss an amazing man that I loved and sometimes hated in the same breath. He wanted just to be cremated, which actually sparked my interest in what some other alternatives to burials there might be. I knew right off the bat that there are regular burial and cremation, but then I started looking into them and there are funeral pyres which are still used to this day. There’s also a service that will put your ashes into the soil of a sapling so you can help a tree grow. I personally would want cremation and then my ashes put into the ocean out in California. I’ve always loved the sea and everything about it from the smell to the sounds and all the awesome things you can find at a beach that the tide washes in. I also wouldn’t mind the whole part of helping a tree...

To Become Self-Sufficient, There’s One Necessary Item I’ve been going on about becoming self-sufficient and making sure that everything you have in your house is safe for your family. I haven’t mentioned much on the best methods to reach that self-sufficient point yet though. One of the hands-down best ways to achieve this self-sufficiency is owning a greenhouse. A greenhouse will allow you to get your gardening going without having to worry about neighborhood animals coming in and getting to your harvest before you do. It also allows you to have your garden a bit before and after the actual gardening seasons started or ended. It protects all your yearly efforts and starts a personalized biome for them as well. I personally have been looking at the Abba Patio Walk-In greenhouse for myself and been pouring over it's reviewing online. I’ve seen a lot of them going for either the worst greenhouse possible or the best one yet. Then after going through about 30 of them, I n...

One answer lately has been a big one that’s receiving a lot of push. That particular item has been applied to multiple situations, such as at-home use and on-the-go.

They can be any size and are the perfect way to charge your electronics whether you’re on the go a lot or you want to take it up to the mountains with you on a hike! With some power banks, they actually have them installed on the power bank itself and allows you to just put it in a pocket of your backpack and charge it while you’re going on a hike or walking around the city to allow it to charge! I personally have a solar panel...
