If you have children or are considering it in the future, you may have some concerns about what the world will look like as they grow up.

As we and our loved ones age we ultimately have to come to terms with what to do at the end. I know I have aging parents, and I want to avoid thinking about this as much as possible, but I also want to do what they would be happiest with when that time comes. I always assumed there were two main options available — a cemetery or cremation. However, my mother has alway told me she just wants to be thrown out into nature, and my father tells me he wants a viking funeral… my parents might be a little extra… Anyway, I think both of these options are illegal these days. So, I was very interested to learn about Terramation or human composting. Personally, I think it fits perfectly with what my mom envisions, is really beautiful, and might be unique enough to pacify my father..
With our over crowded world, Terramation is not only the best for the resources we have, but it is the cleanest and actually gives back to our environment. Please read on to learn more about human composting from the caring company Return Home as we dig deep with their Director of Outreach, Nicole Steinberg.
I’m going to tell you a secret. Something that will shock you. Lean in… One of the biggest pole sport organizations in the United States, US Pole Sport Federation (USPSF) is run by Mormons, or Latter-Day Saints (LDS), as I was informed they prefer to be called. Most of their board are LDS and the two winning senior women athletes are/were Mormons: Bryanna (Bree) Fernelius (senior women sport nationals champion, still currently Mormon) and Angela Nelson (senior women art national champion, ex Mormon). It is almost like the LDS want to take over pole dancing!!

What is done is done. I, like many others, don’t understand how this happened. I know we are tired, completely exhausted! We can, and should, mourn. We can, and should, be angry. But we will not roll over dead, we will use this anger, and we will come back stronger and more focused. We can have our own Project 202X. We can have our own plan. We are smart. And as women, we should take from this that no one, and I really mean men, will never come to our rescue. We are on our own, we can no longer fight among ourselves. We need to be a F*CKING PINK WAVE of Fury.

From Simone Biles returning with new tricks and mind blowing routines to Breaking making it debut!

I am an American woman and I have been increasingly terrified over the past two years. The loss of Roe vs Wade was the first gunshot wound, and it feels like the American women have been under rapid (AK47 level) attack since (and they are hitting a lot more than just an ear). While other countries are celebrating electing female presidents (good job Mexico!) the USA feels like we are going back to the Victorian Era.

Have you ever thought, wow, there is a lot of trash on this beach, in this river, or in this park?

Plastic packaging generates untold amounts of waste for three reasons — it’s usually single use, nonbiodegradable and excessive.

Many of us have fallen victim to cheap fast fashion prices. Who wouldn’t consider $15 for a dress a good deal in this economy? However, it’s time to consider the much greater cost of fast fashion. If you’re finally ready to kick your fast fashion addiction, here are some ways you can make more sustainable choices without sacrificing your style.

When you go to Thailand one of the first things you will notice is the depiction of elephants everywhere! They are on temples, flags, shirts, pants, and adorable statues around the country. They are clearly part of the Thai identity, but for as much as they are a symbol of Thailand the treatment of the actual animals in Thailand isn’t spectacular. Luckily for me, and the elephants, I was able to find and visit BEES Elephant Sanctuary, which holds nothing but love for the animals. Click here to read more!
