    I learned from the challenge that it can be easy and fun to help save the earth, but it's also very effective if you just spend 10 minutes researching something about the earth.

    I am glad to have had the opportunity to take part in this challenge.  I learned that there are really so many ways to do our part for the environment and make it more habitable for generations to come.

    Oceans contain marine life.  For many cultures, people depend on marine life for food. Oceans are also providing water through desalination processes in places like Israel and Cape Town, South Africa. We can take care of the oceans by not overfishing, by supporting careers that focus on marine life and oceanography to continue awareness, and...

    There never was such a place as Earth, With all its unique creations from His work. Emerging from darkness, bestowed with light, Illumined by the sun, unapologetically bright. When rain fell down, its surface became lush, With all sorts of plant life and waters to enjoy in no rush. Look at the species, beings--there are so many, Defying...

    Going meatless is sooooooooo easy!  I do it every other year to decrease my impact on the earth. Even during my "meat-eating" years I don't exceed 5 meat meals a week for both environmental and health reasons.  As a culture we eat way too much meat and it's important to remember that in nature, meat is not easy to come by and so a...
