Image: Summary: What is human trafficking? Well, it is modern day slavery in which men, women and especially children are exploited through force, fraud, and threatening. It occurs around the world, including right here in the USA. Victims are trapped, vulnerable and unable to take action without risking their own lives. World of Children is “unlocking the future for vulnerable children by funding and elevating the most effective changemakers for children worldwide.” World of Children’s Honorees are working to rescue and rehabilitate victims of child trafficking so that they are safe, supported, and have the opportunity to rebuild. This charity has been around for 9 years and they have raised a lot of money. According to World of Children Charities, they have made a total income of $1,916,334, from public funds, restricted and unrestricted boards of gifts, and in-kind donations. “Contributions from our Board of Governors pays for 100% of general and administrative costs and...

              De-extinction in the process of "resurrecting" species that have previously died off through cloning, selective breeding, and DNA splicing. Scientists are working to rack in an immense amount of money to perform de-extinction on animals like the woolly mammoth and the passenger pigeon. The science behind de-extinction is groundbreaking, but with environmental conditions depleting we should focus that money towards preserving species that are still alive today.      Scientists cannot perfectly predict how each and every animal that is resurrected will act. Species that are de-extinct have the complete possibility of being the top predator and wiping out other species, or they could overpopulate because other species don’t have the system to consume it. As well as that, if scientists can de-extinct species humans will care less and less about the environment and continue to destroy it because if an animal dies we can j...

Scientists are working to rack in an immense amount of money to perform de-extinction on animals like the woolly mammoth. They claim the woolly mammoth would actually be helping the tundra, due to the fact that ice is melting and the soil contains carbon which would release if more ice melts. The woolly mammoth would “punch down the snow in the winter time allowing cold air to come in and in the summertime they would knock down trees which are very absorbent and release the grasses,” said Steph Yin in  We Might Soon Resurrect Extinct Species. Is It Worth the Cost?.  Along with the wooly mammoth, many scientists are considering the resurrection of the passenger pigeon. This particular pigeon allowed regeneration in certain forests by fra...

Summary:  A carbon footprint is the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere by a particular person or in this case company. Many of the items we currently use were made out of the continent or at least out of the country. You know that shirt that you love to wear, chances are it was made halfway around the world. Imagine how much carbon would be emitted just to make that shirt. It would have to be transported from one place to another a multitude of times before it reaches you and that is just one thing you own. Worst of all, if it was made out of the continent it was most likely shipped through an airplane which produces the most amount of CO2 compared to trains, trucks and cargo ships. As a company, you can see that buying locally and in bulk will not only help our air quality but can save some money.
