Bio-hazardous Waste...

Happy Saturday Everyone!

       I decided to post about bio-hazardous waste, since I have been getting some questions about it. The common misconception in today's society is that the general public don't throw out anything that is toxic. But believe me, people do waste toxic materials everyday without even knowing it. For starters, batteries. The mercury in batteries are extremely harmful to the environment. If mercury breaks down into the soil, organisms such as earthworms will consume it, and 1 of 2 things will occur. The earthworm could instantly die, which will lead to a significant loss in the Earth's biosphere, or the earthworm's off-springs will contain bits of the mercury. This will start infecting a lot of organisms through contact, and this will lead to a whole arsenal of horrible situations. 

      There are much more items in households that contain toxic material, such as laptops, pesticides and leftover paint. These common items get thrown out everyday on a large scale, and if they are recycled, then the long term damage could be avoided, (since we are using it again and again without throwing it) but if they are thrown out for good, then the material gets mixed in water, the soil, and many other surfaces. So when you are throwing out anything, check if it is recyclable or not. That small sacrifice of your time could mean the difference between life and death for some organisms.

Thank you for reading, stay tuned for more! :)

The Lorax

Hello Everyone!

       I actually just got back from watching the film "The Lorax", and I have to say, that film was absolutely inspirational. The movie itself was amazing, the visuals, the sound effects, everything! But the message behind the movie was really powerful.

      Basically, the movie was based on a book written by a genius I'm sure you have heard of, Dr.Seuss. He talked about how 'The Lorax' is a creature that protects trees at a forest from people who try and cut in down for their various businesses. He doesn't physically try and stop them, but he makes them aware of what they are doing with cutting down trees. I don't want to go in depth with the plot, but I highly recommend you see the movie. It was incredible, it just goes to show how if you cut down trees, we really are killing ourselves. We need to think about the future, and how cutting down trees is going to affect us in the long run. Not only us, but every single species on this planet too. So everyone, make it your mission to make everyone else aware of global warming, spread the awareness!

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
-Dr.Seuss

Spencer The Rhino

Hello readers!

        I just read something in a newspaper that I felt really strongly about, and so I wanted to share it. Recently, a rhino named Spencer died because of common misconceptions that people often have. What people have done to 'Save' this rhino was implant a tracking device and a toxic pesticide in the rhinos horn to deter poachers. This procedure was experimental and it turned out to be unsuccessful, in Johannesburg.

       One of the people conducting the procedure on the rhino said "The easy way out is to say 'No more' - but then the poachers win". But doesn't that mean the people conducting the experiment on the rhino are as bad as the poachers? They could have focused on alternative ways to save this rhino from poachers without harming it in any way, or touching it for that matter. But what do you guys think about this?


This picture was taken in Johannesburg, where the rhino passed away.
