Ghostwriting passages for 10th Grade testing with GI Educators
Her Deepness, Dr. Sylvia Earle In 1969, marine biologist Sylvia Earle offered to volunteer as a scientist for Project Tektite. This team of scientists was slated to explore the challenges of living underwater in a tiny module for an extended period of time. Earle’s request took the expedition coordinators by surprise. They balked at the idea of having a woman living with male scientists in underwater isolation. Their rejection hardly surprised Earle. Many years previously, they had cast […]

An Open Invitation for a Holistic Lifestyle Choice
The moment we think of holistic living, we take in a deep breath, don’t we? Simply because being holistic includes beauty and nature. We cannot imagine being holistic without letting them play a part. Using the land around us is the key step toward it. Let the land around your home find its own true calling through the ways of permaculture gardening. It doesn’t matter how small the patch is. The beauty of that natural, abundant space will heal […]
Balaka’s Interview with a fellow Copywriter
Question: Hi Balaka, is there any specific reason you chose environment as your primary niche? Haha, good question Andre. I usually joke about it – that environment chose me to be a writer, not the other way around! And when I look back to the time I was a journalist, I found myself gravitating to stories on ecosystem disruptions or cutting edge research on environmental remediation… and I didn’t see that pattern until much later. So when I came […]
Have You Unknowingly Invited This Danger in to Your Home?
I just discovered something! Something infectious! No, not COVID-19. In fact, it’s a figurative infection. In fact, a terrific one. It’s about living chemical-free. When you talk out loud about your beet-juice lipstick you made last weekend, people around you stop in their tracks and look at you. Not because you’re crazy. Deep inside, there’s admiration. They gravitate to you, and boom, they take a little bit of it home. In the beginning, of course, they may be […]
Running from the Plastic Phantoms One Bold Step at a Time
Most big journeys in our lives start with a story. Mine does, too. Right after coming from India to Houston, Texas, with a six-year-old in tow, I was excited about the amazing systems and processes that worked like a well-oiled machine (or at least so it felt to me, as a new immigrant). Interstate highways intersecting this megacity’s inner loop freeways without signals or snarling vehicles, disciplined queuing up at any checkout counters, kids’ activities planned days or weeks in […]
The Oceans’ Challenge: Vanishing Species
The oceans that seem like never-ending reserves of seafood are facing two major threats from modern fishing practices – bycatch and overfishing. The fishing industry has devised ways to haul huge numbers of sea animals from the ocean. This has adversely impacted the fine balance in oceanic ecosystems, pushing species to the edge of extinction and leading to a likely food crisis for humans, too. Bycatch and Overfishing Not every sea creature brings profit to the fishing industry. Popular species […]
Guilty About Your Garbage Bags Filling Up?
Here are 7 Ways To Minimize Your Trash Footprint Have you been thinking lately, especially after listening to Greta Thurnburg’s recent speeches? Guilty about how much you’ve been consuming and how much you throw away? I know that feeling. I’ve been on guilt trips to Despairland many times, feeling like a selfish consumer chewing up the world. You’ve perhaps been afraid as well. Afraid that your life of convenience is pushing your children’s health into a danger zone. You might […]
Hello from The Green Writer
