From the beginning of time, a mother’s instinct is to protect and raise their her child to live life to its fullest. Mother Earth has granted herself as a vessel for us to grow and prosper.

It has created a heat wave that has swept across the United States, claiming over one hundred peoples’ lives.

Greenhouse gases are the tiny amounts of gases in the Earth’s atmosphere that let the rays of the sun pass through the planet. However, they also hold in the heat that comes from the Earth itself. The greenhouse effect is the increasing thickness of greenhouse gas, and in doing so, causing more heat to be trapped on our planet. By having so much heat trapped, many animals will begin to migrate or even become extinct to unbearable weather conditions. Trees and other plants are being cut down, thus corrupting the balance of terrestrial plants converting carbon dioxide and oxygen and ...
