This Year, I Resolve to… By now, many people have made at least a mental list of areas they’d like to improve upon in the new year, even it they haven’t declared them to be “New Year’s Resolutions.” Maybe you want to shake up your exercise routine, drop a few pounds, adopt a new diet, get a new job or take more vacations.

I am interested in why we consume so much meat in North America. Perhaps if I compare how we use to farm livestock and produce meat, to how we do it now, patterns would begin to emerge. Are we more concerned with how our food is raised despite consuming greater quantities? Are we able to sustain the amount of meat that we consume on a nation-wide scale?

months now. I have watched “Earthlings” and “Cowspiracy”, read many articles, statistics and facts. I knew about the suffering that animals have to go through before they will end on our plate. I knew about the cruelty and abuse that happens in the meat and dairy industry. I knew about the health impact animal derived products can cause on our health. I knew how much agriculture destructs our planet. But it was all…
During early trans-Saharan trade, people used cattle to carry their goods. During this time trade was mostly based on salt. The Berber nomads were trading salt for food grown in areas that they didn’t live in. The cattle that they were using to trade were not like the ones we know today; they were accustomed to the desert conditions and therefore very useful for the Trans-Saharan traders. Shillington states that it is possible that they traders also used horses for travel. Because they traders…

Like watching an alien movie, it makes you wonder if there is an alien lifeform out in the planets, but for me and my best friend Conner we get to live in one of those movies, but our movie is about the what everyone has been talking about, zombies. Yes, I am sure everyone has heard of some type of zombie T.V. show or some type of zombie movie, but to actually live in a zombie apocalypse is quite…
