World We Dare to Imagine, Part 3

 Kelp Help Foundation (KHF)  About us:  Currently, one of the largest contributing factors to climate change is CO2 emissions. Here at Kelp Help Foundation, we are determined to reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the atmosphere to net 0 by using the power of kelp forests. Kelp can pull carbon dioxide from the air through carbon sequestration. An overview of this process is when the kelp absorbs the CO2 from the air into the kelp tissue. When the kelp breaks from their bed, it floats to the bottom of the ocean, and the CO2 gets sequestered into deep ocean sentiment. At KHF, we help businesses, organizations, and or individuals build small and large-scale kelp farms. By having more kelp farms, we can get more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, and we start seeing a greener tomorrow.   Why KHF: I am passionate about this foundation because I know how powerful the ocean is and how integral the health of the ocean is to our health. Growing up in Southern Califo...

World We Dare to Imagine, Part 1

      I dare to imagine a bright future for this world. I am a very optimistic person, and I truly believe that there will be a world one day where peace and harmony can be achieved. I dare to believe the earth can be cleaned of pollutants and trash. People and companies must commit to change and imagine creative ways for sustainability to become more convenient and common. One of the largest issues contributing to the cause of pollution and waste is that it is so easy to take from the Earth but twice as hard to restore.        I dream of a world free of drug abuse, violence, corruption, and greed. Where all people can live their lives to the fullest and enjoy the beauties of nature around them. I dare to dream of a world that lives in peace, with people who are content and fulfilled, and the earth is green, and the ocean is blue.      I know my dream world will be difficult to achieve, if at all possible. But I feel that many steps...

Random Post 2: Darts and Mellow Gold Music In my garage at home, we have a dartboard, and in this post, I will explain how this dartboard board introduced me to my favorite genre of music. It all began in high school when my dad hung up a dart board and asked me if I wanted to play. I learned to play 301 and cricket and have now played darts with him for over seven years. I love darts, and it's a great way to spend quality time with my dad.  For the first few months, my dad played one album exclusively, Boz Scaggs's Silk Degrees. I can recite every single word from every song from that entire album, especially my favorite song, Georgia. After months of listening to Boz Scaggs, I enviably became a fan, and this was when my father chose to start playing different artists. He started playing Cat Stevens/ Yusuf, which started my journey of listening to music that Spotify calls mellow gold. So, I went on Spotify, searched for related artists, and became captivated by so many new sin...

Book 2, Post 2

In the book the "No-Nonsense Guide to Climate Change: The Science, the Solutions, and the Way Forward" by Danny Chivers, the author lists the current state of our environment, how our actions affect climate change, and what we can do in the fight against global warming. This book was a quick read but was highly informational and provided great insight into our current climate issues. In this post I will explain what the book talks about and conclude with my takeaways. The book begins by breaking down what causes global warming, which is the excess amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. The heat from the sun passes through our atmosphere, reflects off the Earth's surface, and then is trapped inside our atmosphere by carbon dioxide. This process is good for the planet because it allows the Earth to remain warm, but the issue now is that there is too much carbon dioxide in the air due to pollution and carbon emissions from industrial production. The book discusses possi...

Book 2, Post 1

 I have chosen to read "The No-Nonsense Guide to Climate Change: The Science, the Solutions, and the Way Forward" by Danny Chivers. The reason I chose this book is that I am passionate about sustainability and, in particular, ocean conservation efforts. I am currently in a class at USC called Green Entrepreneurship, and it has been fascinating learning about different sustainable and environmentally friendly businesses. So I am hoping to supplement my studies and learn more about how to save the environment by reading this book.  What I have read so far is the introduction to the book provided by the author, Danny Chivers. He explains that climate change is an immediate issue that we need more time to resolve. He shares that this book is concise but holds vital information about our environment and climate. I am looking forward to reading this book, not only so that I can better understand our current state but also to explain it to others better.

 Right now my dear friend Daniella is visiting me from Miami. So I found it fitting to write about the story of my friend group, the creation of the sophomores (sophs) and seniors, and what we stand for as a group. The year was 2016 and it was my sophomore year of high school. My childhood best friend, Ella, and I just got introduced to the new girl at school named Emma who moved from North Carolina. Ella, Emma, and I all did theatre together and all got cast in the Fall production of "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, we all got very close during this time. Then Emma became friends with a girl in her class named Daniella. After meeting Daniella, us four girls became inseparable and the sophs were born.  As the months rolled along, it became time for the spring musical production, and that year we did "Fiddler on the Roof" by Joseph Stein. This is when we met Sarah and the twin's Claire and Louise. These are the Seniors of the group, and combine we now had a girl gr...
