Earth News: Earth's Axis is Changing

-

Over the years, it has been found that Earth's axis is changing. A study ran by the Geophysical Research Letters in 2023 found that between the year 1993 and 2010, earth's axis has shifted about 1.7 inches per year. The cause for this shift is believed to be human activity, particularly due to the extraction of ground water. It is estimated that this has contributed to the rise of sea level by 2.6 feet. This proves that human activity truly does effect more than just global warming.

      Unlike the recycling and trash bin, the compost bin is for food waste. Any food leftovers or fruit peels can go in this bin. The Compost bin allows us to use our food.

The food scraps and waste contain a large amount of water and beneficial nutrients which can help with preventing/reducing runoff and erosion, establishing a vegetation and healthy soil which can support a plant.
