“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.”

— Mahatma Gandhi

Here we go! The first post on my new Environment blog, NAShTYEarth. If you want to know more about this blog and a little bit about me please click on the “Introducing the Author, Me!” at the top, but I am going to go a little more in depth about myself and what my blog will consist of and be in the following.

19 years young and living everyday to the fullest. I grew up in a family of six including myself. You know how everyone always says that the youngest of the family gets the special treatment and never gets in as much trouble as the rest? Well, I am the youngest, and yes, it is all true. My dad is an accountant and my mom a nurse, so it was either do everything by the book, or make sure everyone is okay, either way, I had a wonderful childhood.

My parents really shaped me into who I am today. Love thy neighbor and love yourself was always being said around my house growing up, along with do the right thing when you’re supposed to do it every time, all the time. It hit me my sophomore year of high school, yes love yourself and your neighbor, but what about the Earth? Our environment? What about all of that? Everyone is worried about themselves and everyone around them, and that is why I am writing this blog. To stop the conversation happening between people about people, but a conversation with people about the world.

This blog will be covering a lot of different things, nothing where you need a PhD in environmental science to understand, but things that need to be talked about. A few examples of what will be talked about over the course of this blog:

• Pollution, pollutants, and companies that are responsible for the largest amount of pollution
• Current events
• Laws regarding our environment
• Places of natural beauty
• Places of human destruction
• People who are making a difference
• What you can do to make a difference
• etc.

There is a lot of information that will be presented that can be shocking, but there is always something YOU can do about it.

You may be wondering why I included other Environment blogs within my own blog. I am not here to be famous, or to make money, I am only here to inform and be a part of something I love. There are hundreds of other blogs out there related to mine or similar in their own distinctive way. I have included on my NAShTYEarth homepage a link to some of those other blogs because we do not do the exact same thing.

Every blog is a new story from a new perspective or different facts gathered from a different source. Each post is important in its own unique way so I will always support and use other blogs to help in my own, and support others in using my blog for references as well. Grist is an amazing blog that covers a variety of topics that I will not be covering that can be appealing to readers. An article that they have posted, “Is Fake Meat Getting to Much like the Real Thing?” explains the transition from red meat, to lab made meat from mushrooms! Very interesting and I will leave the link right below!

Another way that is different from my own is that I will be posting periodically. Boo, I know everyone wants to read a new blog everyday, but the anticipation will always keep you coming back! I will be doing one post a week for all of my readers out there and the days will vary! If you cannot handle the anticipation of my blogs to come out, TreeHugger, another exceptional blog about the environment, is always posting new articles with a variety of topics. Fun ways to stay in fashion without buying new clothes all the time and the secret language of crickets is always a good way to past the time while waiting on my posts! (Links below)
