Sustainability
Life From the Ground Up
The soil has been amended and tilled. The smell of freshly worked earth is a turn on to me. I eagerly await the day Mother Nature allows me to create my annual masterpiece, my vegetable gardens. I’ve pretty much designed the layout in my head over the winter, taken into consideration crop rotation patterns. Sitting cross legged in the warm earthiness, I go over the rules as vegetables are a bit like high school girls. Potatoes do not like tomatoes. Potatoes don’t like cucumbers. Do not plant beans with onions or beets (I love me some beets). Beans love carrots. Beets love onions and potatoes. Tomatoes love carrots and peas. Beans and cucumbers are not friends. Carrots and onions do well together. Those are the basics and there are more rules. Sounds complicated, but the rules shape the architecture of the gardens.

Nature Mirroring Humanity
As humans evolve, so does our world. Things that may have been unprecedented or unthinkable years ago can be accessed today with a few taps on a screen. The medical and scientific field has had countless breakthroughs that benefit humanity to this day. Several discoveries have driven us closer to the universe than ever before--The law of gravity, theory of relativity, Big bang theory, and quantum physics have all steered humanity closer to its cosmic roots. One would think that with all this knowledge, we should be doing better than we are now.

How Do I Maximise The Efficiency of Solar Panels?
Solar energy is sustainable because it is renewable and clean energy compared to non-renewable electricity, which is made from fossil fuels. Solar energy is an eco-friendly energy source because its generation does not emit greenhouse gases into the air and water and reduces our carbon footprint. Greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming. Another significant advantage of using solar energy is that it reduces or eliminates utility bills because it is abundant and free. Once you install solar panels in Sydney, you can reduce your energy bills massively as well as save our environment. To get maximum solar panel efficiency, you need to take care of your solar system.

My Country is my Passion
My passion is my country and I find that I am always talking about her – even when I don’t mean to. I grew up in Nigeria but have lived in the UK close to thirteen years. It pains me that to achieve the things I want, I seem to have to live outside of the place that makes me feel most whole. It pains me more that I am not the only Nigerian to feel that way. So many people leave. So many people escape. So many people are drained and give up – especially in Lagos, my hometown which is more bustling and hectic than most places on our planet.

Passion for Untrashing
In a world where everything is disposable, one has to find new and creative ways to save the environment. 10 years ago, my dad and I started to upcycle glass and ceramic plates and bowls. We never thought it would grow into a newfound passion. Every year we add a new upcycled project. We currently make tire planters, solar flowers, lanterns, mushrooms, and solar chandeliers. The lanterns are made using light globes that are being thrown out do to one or more breaking and not being able to find matching replacements. We use old forgotten vases and bowls for the mushrooms. Tractor tires are the majority of what we use for the tire planters. Unless you set the tire on fire, it will just sit there in a landfill taking up space. Most of the materials we use are found at thrift stores or rummage sales. Over the past decade, we have kept thousands of non-biodegradable items from being tossed into landfills. The best part about this hobby isn’t the creative aspect, even though that is amazing, it is the knowledge that we are doing our part to help save the environment. As Richard Branson said, “There is no planet B. We have to take care of the one we have.”. If everyone does one thing to help decrease the amount of garbage that they throw away, we can help preserve the earth for future generations. Whether it is using reusable bags to carry groceries or switching back to actual kitchenware, every little bit will help. As a younger person, I am aware of the fact that the earth, while massive, is an infinite space that we are readily using up. By keeping these items out of the landfills and in people’s yards, we are breathing new life into old pieces that would have been tossed away.
