Have you ever thought about joining a club that was 36 million members strong in the United States alone? A club that’s grown at least 50% since 2012?

You may not realize it, but if you’ve ever considered trying yoga (which a third of Americans have already done), then that’s you.

Four Young Activists (And Not Four Greta Thunberg’s in a Trench Coat) to Watch Closely

Greta’s recent celebrity has called into question something very important: The media’s tendency to whitewash struggles which have typically belonged to indigenous peoples and people of color. 

Now fortunately in Greta’s case, the space she made for a spotlight is big enough for the, in some cases, hundreds of other teens heralding the same cause. (500 at the UN summit, in fact.)

Today, we’re going to shine the light on four other activists who also fight the good fight, and deserve to be recognized just like Greta does.

Although when the days get shorter, the air outside bites the skin, and outdoor activities require forethought and preparation…

Hibernation is a state of minimal movement and low metabolic activity characterized by low-body temperature, slow breathing, slow heart rate, and low intensity.

What Do Seaweed and Aloe Vera Have in Common?

Unless you live in a coastal region, it’s likely that sea vegetables and other tropical plants don’t factor heavily in your regular diet. And indeed, why would they?

In the past few years, you may have noticed these plants becoming trendy, popping in health-food stores, in pre-packaged snack varieties, in bottled drinks you can get at the gas station.

Maybe you looked the other way! Maybe you tried them. Maybe they forged a new place in the heralded corner of your heart you reserve for your favorite munchies.
