Climate Change and Environmental Conservationism
Climate change has been in the forefront of environmental awareness and innovation for decades now. I'm sure many of you have already seen countless television commercials advertising the companies' desire to promote environmental protection by reducing carbon emissions, harnessing and using sustainable green energy, reduction of plastic materials and products and lobbying for government recognition to focus on future development with an emphasis on environmentalism. Thanks to increased education, scientific research and effective activism, more and more people are realizing the necessity to conserve energy, recycle, use less, and adopt new green energy applications to better their lives and their communities and future generations.

Illustrious
My mind is a tinted incubator. It hatches different pigments of embryos divinely planted into it over a period of time. These embryos are ideas, topics, and experiences that were fed, nurtured and given life through my brilliant thoughts. These thoughts become words, carefully constructed and crafted with each syllable having a heartbeat of its own. I speak these words, and they grow arms and legs to position themselves in a precise formation on the piece of paper I stare at with each breath I take forming a new word… forming a new life… a new beginning…. The irises of my eyes project these words across horizons too far for the “human eye” to take notice of. Genres and styles flow through my veins and filter through my rogued heart for approval and editing. For these graphic reasons I have to keep an open mind… an open heart…. Moods for these compositions are set and can be changed instantly by a simple word or phrase. So, I must watch what I think, say, and write. These words lives could be someone’s death if I use them the wrong way. This gift… this power…. is not one taken lightly. It must be mastered and re-mastered with every “new beginning”…

HEARTHVEN
I’m a wordsmith and my new creation for the lexicon of language is #drumroll #youhearditherefirst #HEARTHVEN the name or situation when heaven is on Earth. Which it totally is/can be... but things are always changing, that is the only constant after all. Go with the flow or get lost at sea lol.

Reusing is the Goal
I’m not going to beat around the bush here... Little changes just aren’t going to cut it anymore. We no longer have the luxury of time, which means I am no longer interested in little steps toward change. What we need is an entirely new lifestyle, and to connect to the Earth in a way that is foreign to many.

The Path to Reconstruction
The human race has been the dominant species on the planet for hundreds of years & as the dominant species, we have a responsibility to ensure that the planet is well taken care of & that includes our beautiful blue oceans and all the animals that live within them. As a human, I've always been aware of the horrible things that have been done to the planet, & it has saddened me deeply & I've always tried to do my part to help the planet as best as I could. When it comes to our oceans, the human race has treated them like they aren't important to the survival of the human race. We need oceans to provide us with the number one thing we need to most and that's water and the ocean also provides us with food and a beautiful otherworldly experience. So to do my part in helping heal the planet I plan on doing the following,

A Hawk's Eye View
I enjoy going for random country drives quite often. In fact, I live in a rural area so when I go to town I tend to enjoy those long drives and the time to think or listen to some music. It’s honestly really therapeutic and allows me the space to think. I’ve found through the years that these voyages, random and scheduled alike, have given me a lot of opportunities to see animal life that I normally wouldn’t see. I guess you could attribute that to being in the right place at the right time and choosing to venture just a little off the beaten path.

My Laptop Lifestyle
For as long as I can remember I have always loved to travel. When I was in Elementry School I lived with my brother who is two years younger than me and my mother. My father worked for Continental Airlines and was always traveling with my stepmother. He had a habit of bringing me home weird-looking money from different countries and islands. Looking at his cool scuba diving pictures and hearing stories about how he learned to hula dance in Hawaii made me dream of traveling when I got older. My Dad finally retired and bought himself a boat to live on which made me start thinking if he can fulfill his dream at the age of 74 there is no reason why I cannot at the age of 49.

Seven continents
There are five seas and seven continents in the world. About 8 billion people live here. We can never know everything about this world. But it is valuable to know some very simple facts about continents. Because we need to have the knowledge to clarify if our children or someone asks if they know about it. Not only that, but can we not be ignorant of the world in which we live? Asia.asia is the largest continent in the world. The Asian continent accounts for more than half of the world's population. There are 4.6 billion people on the Asian continent. Asian cities are also overcrowded. The most popular cities are Mumbai, Bangkok, Manila, Tokyo, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. Oil-rich countries in the Middle East are considered to be the best money-making countries in Asia.2300 languages are spoken in Asia alone. The most widely used language is Chinese. It is used by 1.4 billion Chinese.Australia, Oceania. Oceania has several small islands in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Ocean. Australia's vast flat plain is called a continent. The major cities in the Oceania region are Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. All four cities are in Australia. Despite the vast expansion, only 43 million people live in Oceania. This number is only twice that of Sri Lanka.Africa.Africa is considered the homeland of man. According to fossil records, man originated in Africa and spread throughout the world. The African continent is made up of 54 countries. There are 1.3 billion people in those 54 countries.The most popular cities in Africa are Lagos in Nigeria, Kinshara in the Congo, Johannesburg in South Africa and Cairo in Egypt.
