"I think we can change everything all the time. Accidents are the best things in existence. They fořce you to leave a route that seemed to be mapped out… It’s often when things aren’t going well that we are fořced into doing them differently and they suddenly become interesting."
-Jane Birkin

While sand of all sorts is usually made by material breaking down into smaller pieces, in water with high concentrations of calcium carbonate or certain other minerals, the opposite can happen. A tiny particle gets coated over time by the minerals, resulting in a special type of sand grain called an oolith.
Humans also use sand as a construction material, mining huge quantities of it to make concrete. There’s such high demand that an iľłegal worldwide sand market has exploded in recent years. A 2013 estimate valued the shady business at about $16 million a month.
More than legitimate business is at risk: Sand is a finite natural resource which, like fossil fuels, takes centuries to form — and which humans are using at accelerating rates. In 2014, the U.N. Environmental Program declared that sand mining was causing “unequivocal” environmental problems.
A 2017 study linked the mining to increased coastal erosion, especially devastating in regions prone to tsunamis. Without sandy buffers, the giant waves are even more destructive, and a retreating tsunami drags sand into the ocean, aggravating the problem.
The process of digging up sand can also contaminate groundwater or drive it deeper underground. As a direct result of the practice, farmers in Sri Lanka have difficulty finding clean water to grow crops.

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance"
-Carl Sagan

Decomposition is the first stage in the recycling of nutrients that have been used by an organism (plant or animal) to build its body.
It is the process whereby the dead tissues break down and are converted into simpler organic forms. These are the food source for many of the species at the base of ecosystems. The species that carry out the process of decomposition are known as detritivores. Detritivore means literally ‘feeders on dead or decaying organic matter’. Many of these decomposer species function in tandem or parallel with one another. Each is responsible for a specific part of the decomposition process. Collectively they are known as the detritivore community.
A wide range of organisms takes part in the decomposition process. Most of them are inconspicuous and unglamorous. From a conventional human perspective, they are even undesirable. The detritivore community includes insects such as beetles and their larvae as well as flies and maggots (fly larvae). It also includes woodlice, fungi, slime moulds, bacteria, slugs and snails, millipedes, springtails and earthworms. Most of them work out of sight, and their handiwork isn’t immediately obvious, but they are the forest’s unsung heroes of recycling. Almost all of them are tiny, and their function happens gradually in most cases, over months or years. But together they convert dead plants and animals into forms that are useable either by themselves or other organisms.

"I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe... I wouldn't be surprised if poetry...in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes and designs...is how the world works. The world isn't logical, it's a song." -David Byrne

Sandstone is basically sedimentary rock composed of grains of sand, which are then cemented together by either quartz (silica), calcite, feldspar or clay. Colors range from white, cream, and tan to deep browns and reds (sometimes purples and pinks!). The presence of iron or manganese oxides creates the lovely reds, yellows and rusty-browns of some sandstones.

Because Sandstone is created by either wind or water, it is often called a “stone of creativity”. Sandstone tends to record the history of surface conditions of when the sand originated because of the rapidity with which it forms and the porous nature of the stone. It is because of this tendency to demonstrate the surface conditions when it forms that sandstone tends to have uniform colour throughout the stone, making it the perfect option for a design project that requires consistent colouring.

Some types of sandstone are resistant to weathering yet are easy to work with so this makes sandstone a common building and paving material. Compared to granite, sandstone is a softer stone and easier to manipulate, and has been used as a building material dating back to prehistoric times. Sandstone was the stone of choice when constructing such famous buildings at the White House in Washington, DC, and the gateways to the Taj Mahal in India.

"Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create."
-Roy T. Bennett

Human activity is overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other global warming emissions. These gases act like a blanket, trapping heat. The result is a web of significant and harmful impacts, from stronger, more frequent storms, to drought, sea level rise, and extinction.
In the United States, about 29 percent of global warming emissions come from our electricity sector. Most of those emissions come from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas

The air and water pollution emitted by coal and natural gas plants is linked with breathing problems, neurological damage, heart attacks, cancer, premature death, and a host of other serious problems. The pollution affects everyone: one Harvard University study estimated the life cycle costs and public health effects of coal to be an estimated $74.6 billion every year. That’s equivalent to 4.36 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced—about one-third of the average electricity rate for a typical US home [6].
Most of these negative health impacts come from air and water pollution that clean energy technologies simply don’t produce. Wind, solar, and hydroelectric systems generate electricity with no associated air pollution emissions. Geothermal and biomass systems emit some air pollutants, though total air emissions are generally much lower than those of coal- and natural gas-fired power plants.
In addition, wind and solar energy require essentially no water to operate and thus do not pollute water resources or strain supplies by competing with agriculture, drinking water, or other important water needs. In contrast, fossil fuels can have a significant impact on water resources: both coal mining and natural gas drilling can pollute sources of drinking water, and all thermal power plants, including those powered by coal, gas, and oil, withdraw and consume water for cooling.

"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." -Henry Miller

Cacti are often used as decoration in homes and gardens, but they can also be used for their medicinal properties. Some cactus species contain compounds that can be used to treat a variety of ailments, including diabetes, arthritis, and headaches.
In addition, cacti can be used as food and water sources in desert habitats. Cactus fruits are often eaten fresh, and the flesh of the cactus can be used to make drinks such as juice and wine. The pads of the cactus can also be cooked and eaten, and are a good source of vitamins and minerals.
Cacti are also used in traditional Native American medicine, and are believed to have a variety of healing properties. Cacti are an essential part of the desert ecosystem. They provide homes and shelter for a wide variety of animals, and their roots help to stabilize the soil. Cacti also play an important role in the water cycle by absorbing and storing water.
Cacti are under threat from a number of different factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and illegal collecting. Habitat loss is the biggest threat to cacti, as their natural habitats are being destroyed by development and agriculture. Climate change is also a major threat to cacti, as it is causing the deserts to become hotter and drier. This changing environment is making it difficult for cacti to survive. llegal collecting is also a problem, as cacti are often taken from the wild to be sold as houseplants or decoration.There are a number of organizations working to conserve cacti, and their habitats. These organizations are raising awareness about the importance of cacti, and are working to protect and restore cactus populations. 🌵

"Idiotic discussion last evening on radio about man's 'direction' and what is it? Philosophers have failed to find, or successfully label any for nearly three thousand years. The true direction of man is toward play, discovery, invention. No morality can be easily attached. The drive toward play and invention is intimately bound to health and zest. If those two primitive things are missing, life really has no more value or significance than has a pebble on a beach. In fact, less." -Patricia Highsmith

Solid wood furniture is extremely strong and durable. It also requires little to no maintenance.
Most solid wood furniture is made out of hardwoods like oak, maple, or walnut. These trees are known to stand for hundreds of years while withstanding harsh conditions. Natural and sustainable materials like hardwood offer long-lasting strength and durability.
When you take a close look at solid wood pieces, you may notice variations and imperfections:
Knots: Will occur naturally during the growth of the tree.
Grain: Varies based on how the tree was cut.
Color: Wood closer to the bark will be lighter and closer to the center will be darker.
These natural imperfections do not reduce the structural integrity of solid hardwood furniture.
However, it will make each piece one-of-a-kind with unique natural beauty.
Solid wood furniture will have a higher price point than pieces made with cheaper materials. This is due to material and labor costs. Especially when it comes to handmade furniture. However, furniture made out of solid wood will last much longer than furniture made out of veneers, plastic, or particleboard. Although you may pay more upfront, the lifetime value of solid wood furniture will be much higher than cheaper options.

"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
-John Steinbeck

In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice (aka summer solstice) occurs when the Sun travels along its northernmost path in the sky. This marks the astronomical start of summer in the northern half of the globe. (In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite: the June solstice marks the astronomical start of winter when the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky.)
This solstice marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. (By longest “day,” we mean the longest period of sunlight hours.) On the day of the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at the most direct angle of the year.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the June solstice marks the beginning of winter.

"This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today...You must play your part and sing a song, one of your best." -Hermann Hesse

Prickly Pear is in the cacti family and contains over 100 species that are native to North and South America. They are erect or spreading cacti, ranging from small low-growing shrubs to treelike specimens reaching 16 feet or more in height. Some are grown as houseplants. They have flat paddle-shaped stem segments called cladodes that grow one on top of the other. They all have spines in the areoles but some have additional large spines. The flowers are showy in yellow, pink, or orange colors. The fruits are generally fleshy, orange, and spiny but sometimes dry.
The pads readily root to form new plants and in some parts of the world, they have become invasive. It is resistant to damage by deer and is highly salt tolerant. Generally speaking, they need well-drained soil (preferably a cactus mix) and plenty of sunshine. In order to flower, they need high light levels and cooler winter temperatures. Use in containers, rock gardens, or coastal and desert areas.

"Home is not where you were born; home is where all your attempts to escape cease."
-Naguib Mahfouz

Mountains have a significant impact on the weather and climate of an area. The temperature on a mountain decreases as the altitude increases, making the higher parts colder and wetter than the lower parts. This also affects the amount and type of precipitation that falls on different parts of the mountain. Moreover, mountains can create rain shadows, which are areas of dry land on the leeward side of the mountain where the air has lost most of its moisture. Therefore, mountains can create diverse and contrasting climates within a short distance. For instance, some mountains have tropical jungles at their base and glacial ice at their peak. Mountain weather conditions can also change rapidly and unpredictably, from clear skies to thunderstorms in minutes. Thus, mountains can make the weather or climate of an area different in various ways.
