Opinion: Political Greenwashing

Food Deserts and their Impact on Low-Income Communities
A food desert is an area within a community with limited access to healthy eating and new sustainable resources. The term ‘food desert’ itself is relatively new, but the implication has always been around. These can often be found in impoverished neighborhoods in contrast to an area with higher access to fresh markets.

Societies have seemingly forgotten about it since then, but deforestation is a crucial issue to be discussed now and always. And no, it hasn’t gotten any better.

Opinion: Breaking Down Biden’s Environmental Justice Plan
The Biden Climate Plan makes room for people of color and low-income communities who have faced disproportionate harm from climate change and environmental contaminants for decades. But the plan misses the mark on several topics.
Opinion: How Heightened Climate Awareness Allows Us to Protect the Earth
The movement for climate action has become a bit angry – and rightly so. However, it is important that we don’t get so caught up in the fight that we forget what we are fighting for – the everlasting beauty and calm wisdom of the Earth that is always around us.
