HOW TO GROW LUSHER FLOWERS, FRUITS & VEGGIES
Since food harvested from nutrient-rich soil is more nutritious, composting is one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself as...


Better Ways to Hydrate
Did you know that 55 to 60 percent of the adult human body is comprised of water? And that water is sometimes used alongside certain dietary changes to support healing? In fact, water is such an essential element (e.g., comprising approximately 75 percent of newborn babies and over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface) that “la source” in French often means “the spring or fountain.” While many surface-level springs are now contaminated, deep mineral water (DMW) can sometimes be


PLANTING POLLINATOR GARDENS
Since pollination promotes healthy gardens and farms, our landscaping should ideally be designed to support pollinators. This is particularly critical since there have been significant declines in U.S. bee, butterfly and bird populations in recent decades (e.g., there are approximately 50 percent fewer managed honeybee hives now than in 1945). Experts attribute this to multiple potential causes, including monoculture, agriculture-induced eliminations of certain plants, climat


TRAVELING TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
While there is a growing body of research on the presence of microplastics in our planet's polar regions, there has been more data available for the Arctic; however, the effects of global warming on Antarctica are being intensely studied worldwide. These include breakaway icebergs that threaten ice shelves and, consequently, the health of our planet. Antarctica is largely covered by a continuous sheet of ice that is, on average, roughly a mile thick; contains approximately 90


POLAR EXPRESSIONS OF A CHANGING WORLD
In August, the aurora borealis will once again light up the night sky above and around the Arctic Ocean with heavenly shades of green, blue, purple and red. Down below, however, a perfect storm has been brewing. The recent, near-lowest extents of sea ice coverage have been posing a threat not only to the region’s wildlife—including polar bears, some bearded seals, Arctic ringed worldwide, since the Arctic sea ice helps to regulate them by blocking the absorption of solar ener
