Sure, let's learn how to plant trees on Mars instead of planting trees on our planet called earth! We can fix this problem, but it won't begin overnight. Government bills are a big start but it also starts at home! What's one thing you can do every day to make a difference? Please comment below!

This photo is still one of the coolest iceberg pictures in existence thanks to the perfect composition and symmetry that separates the photo into four different sections of colour and texture.

Here we go again, we transpka t deer on the island-- .intake in the first place because sooner or later they are going to grow in numbers and now that they populated, we're gonna shoot 2, 000 if them, what a waste of wildlife and tax payer dollars. Who's bright idea was this in the first place?

Some residents of Santa Catalina Island, California, oppose a plan to use helicopter-mounted sharpshooters to curb the deer population that is devastating ecosystem.

PLEASE READ - A message from the Honu (Sea Turtles) of Hawaii:

We love to share our beautiful home with the millions of visitors who travel to Hawaii each year!

PLEASE keep our message in mind if you happen to see us during your visit.

The beaches you lay on and walk on are our homes so PLEASE leave them cleaner than how you found them. We use these beaches to eat on, take naps and to protect our young babies.

The ocean where you swim and enjoy time with your family is the same ocean we use to swim with our families. It is where we eat and where we teach our babies how to hunt and survive, but most of them won't.

We enjoy sharing our island paradise, but keep in mind that your vacation spot is our home.

Here are Honu Rules we can all live by:

- If you see us on the beach, be sure to take plenty of photos - (some Turtles like 'Shelly' live for having her photo taken) but do not get closer than 50 feet. We use the beach for sleeping and resting and it makes us nervous when you are too close.

- PLEASE do not hit us, throw rocks at us or get close to us for a photo. If I am on the beach I am resting. If I am in the surf trying to get to the beach PLEASE let me - I am very tired.

- NEVER touch us - it can make us sick and it certainly makes us nervous, plus you could be fined up to $1,500.00.

- The Beaches are our homes so please keep them clean. If you see any trash or plastic, PLEASE pick it up so we or our babies do not think it is food and eat it. We all have that one friend who leaves trash when they visit - don't be that visitor please.

- If we swim close to you, we are just curious but please just observe us, do not touch us and let us swim along in our home.

- If you see anyone touching us, or getting too close to us, please help us and contact: NOAA Office of Law Enforcement Hotline: 1-800-853-1964.

- We can use more help to protect us, so if you are interested in volunteering a few hours to help our families, go here: https://www.wildhawaii.org/get-involved/

Thank you and we hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!

It was reported that a movie theater displayed a short film which began with a snapshot of the room ceiling. No details, no colors. Just a white ceiling

The same scene remained displayed for 6 long minutes when the moviegoers started to get frustrated. Some complained about the film wasting their time and others started to leave

Suddenly, the camera lens slowly started to move until it reached down towards the floor. A small child who appeared handicap was lying fixed on the bed, suffering from a spinal cord tear

The camera then pans back up to the ceiling with the following words

We showed you only 8 minutes of this child's daily activity, only 8 minutes from the scene that this handicap child watches at all hours of his life, and you complained and weren't patient for even 6 minutes, you couldn't bear to watch it

Sometimes we need to put ourselves in others shoes in order to realize the magnitude of blessings we are given and to thank God for bestowing us with such blessings that we take for granted

Happy World Environment Day!

It's up to each of us personally to help make this world a better place! Here are some ways you can help make a personal change;

- walk and bike more - instead of driving to places that aren't that far away.
- plant a pollinator garden
- grow your own vegetables
- move from gas to electric - or take public transit
- stop eating meat (emissions from factory farms and cattle farms in SK produce 17 per cent of all of our emissions). If you can't stop, try eating less. It's better for your health, too!
- recycle!
- reduce what you use. When you go to a fast food place, bring your own reusable coffee cup. Your coffee won't get cold then either!
- re-use whatever you can. Don't always buy new. Buy second hand clothes, some are just as good as new.
- plant some trees
- support ethical tourism
- compost! They say that 41 per cent of the methane leaking out of junkyards is rotting food that doesn't have what it needs (air, etc.) to properly decompose. By composting, you can create healthy soil for gardening.
- only use your A/C intermittently when it is really hot. It helps the air, and it helps your wallet.
- consider not adding more to the human overpopulation. Adoption is always a good option.

- set an example to the younger geberations!

These are just a few things you can do, and I'm sure I've missed some. Please think about how you live your life, and if any improvements can be made to live a healthier life for the planet!
