The Essentiality of Environmental Rights: Safeguarding Our Planet and Our Future

In the light of rising ecological calamities and the unavoidable depletion of our planet's resources, the call for environmental rights has never been more urgent. Environmental rights cover the essential privileges and obligations that maintain the integrity of our natural world, ensuring its preservation for present and future generations. In this blog, we'll look at the functions, benefits, and serious implications of ignoring environmental rights.

Functions of Environmental Rights:

Legal Protection: Environmental rights establish a legal framework for protecting ecosystems, wildlife, and natural resources. They empower individuals and communities to hold governments and companies accountable for environmental damage.

Public Participation: These rights allow residents to engage in environmental decision-making processes, ensuring that their voices are heard on issues that directly affect their communities. This participation encourages transparency, accountability, and democratic governance.

Access to Information: Environmental rights provide access to information on environmental policy, initiatives, and potential hazards. This transparency encourages educated decision-making and gives communities the ability to advocate for environmentally sustainable practices.

Environmental justice seeks to overcome differences in environmental protection and pollutant exposure. They want to make sure that everyone, regardless of color, ethnicity, or socioeconomic level, has equal access to a clean, healthy environment.

Benefits of Environmental Rights for People:

1. Environmental rights protect human health by limiting exposure to pollutants and toxins. Clean air, water, and soil promote physical and mental well-being by reducing the number of respiratory diseases, waterborne illnesses, and other health risks.

2. Economic Prosperity: Long-term economic growth requires a healthy environment. Environmental rights encourage the conservation of natural resources, the preservation of biodiversity, and the development of eco-friendly companies that generate jobs and support economic growth.

3. Cultural Preservation: Indigenous and underprivileged populations frequently have strong cultural ties to their land and environment. Environmental rights contribute to the preservation of traditional knowledge, cultural legacy, and sacred sites, hence promoting diversity and resilience.

4. Climate resistance: Environmental rights play an important role in reducing climate change and raising awareness of its effects. These rights help to create a more resilient and sustainable future for everyone by encouraging clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and climate adaptation strategies.

Damage Caused by Neglecting Environmental Rights:

1. Ecological Degradation: Failure to protect environmental rights causes widespread ecological degradation, such as deforestation, habitat loss, species extinction, and ecosystem collapse. This degradation disturbs nature's delicate balance, harming biodiversity and risking the planet's ability to support life.

2. Public Health Concerns: Environmental neglect causes air and water pollution, chemical contamination, and the spread of infectious diseases. These environmental health concerns disproportionately affect those with limited resources, compounding health inequities and endangering human welfare.

3. Resource Scarcity: Ignoring environmental rights depletes scarce resources like clean water, agricultural land, and fossil fuels, resulting in scarcity, competitiveness, and conflict. Resource depletion worsens poverty, food shortages, and social unrest, endangering global peace and security.

4. Climate Catastrophes: Disregard for environmental rights promotes climate change, resulting in harsh weather, rising sea levels, and ecological disruptions. These climatic calamities have a severe impact on vulnerable areas, displacing people, worsening poverty, and increasing humanitarian crises.

At last, environmental rights are essential for safeguarding the health, well-being, and prosperity of current and future generations. By defending these rights, we can conserve our planet's ecosystems, promote social fairness, and lessen the terrible effects of environmental destruction.

For the benefit of our world and all its inhabitants, governments, corporations, and individuals must continue to honor their duties to respect, defend, and fulfill environmental rights.

Back this week from spending the mid-trimester break in Queensland, visiting my family with my fiancé.

I so hoped that this lethargy and distinct lack of motivation towards my studies would disappear when I returned. Maybe it's second-year blues, or maybe it's a lack of a vision for the future of where this degree could take me. Whatever the reason though, I can only keep pushing forward and taking one day at a time.

Desert Whump Prompts

As a true desert rat, I decided to give people some desert whump prompts for your liking. a lot of this is mostly environmental whump but yeah. Let me know if you'd like me to do more!!!

The sun is so bright and is in the sky for so long, if you leave a whumpee outside in the sun they will BAKE so quickly. Tie them to a post with their shirt off and let them BURN.

Make a whumpee work in the sun and give them heatstroke. Fainting, vomiting, dizziness, headache, feeling like you want to crawl out of your skin. Its very FUN!

Nighttime in the desert in contrast is very COLD so if you really want to punish whumpee for having heatstroke during the day, leave them out at night with no blankets (or clothes) and see if they like that better!

Cacti are also very fun to throw a whumpee in! There are different types of cacti too! If you want to throw your whumpee into a pit of jumping cactus they’re very small and their needles hook into the skin. They also itch like a bitch even when they’re out of the skin.

Tie a whumpee to a saguaro cactus! Their needles can grow up to two to three inches long! So tying up a whumpee to that type of cacti nice and tight, so they sink into the needles (free acupuncture!!) can also be very fun

Rattlesnake bites! Those are very painful and very very deadly. They can kill you if you don’t get to the hospital fast enough. They cause chills, seizures, vomiting, muscle spasms, and more. Very fun if a whumper has the anti venom and likes to watch how whumpee reacts to the snake bite

2.8.2024

The past few weeks have been absolutely insane; although stressful due to long hours in the lab and balancing a million things, I can't recall a time I've learned more in such a short period. There is of course still SO much I don't know within my field, but it's satisfying to feel myself becoming more knowledgeable by the day.

Towards the end of last semester, I spent some time reflecting on how my first year was going and considering how to really develop as a researcher. The gap between a first and second year PhD student is huge, in my opinion--since I switched fields from undergrad, it's probably even more true in my case. I did learn a lot last semester, but I was still settling into a new environment and program. There is a lot to get adjusted to in this lab; it's huge, a bit chaotic, and used by multiple groups.

I am finally feeling more confident and independent, so I think this is the time to really grind in order to be where I want to be going into my second year. In addition to ramping up lab work, I've been trying to read way more. For each article I read, I also make a slide in an ongoing PowerPoint that summarizes key findings and any notes or questions I have. This isn't so much an organizational method (I use Zotero for that) as it is a way to follow interesting threads in current research and develop a habit of active reading.

If anyone has a reading practice that really works for them I'd love to hear about it :)

A detective who regularly investigates weird and inventive murders decides to start a blog…

Unfortunately rather than writing about his job, he decides to write about his interests: a collection of the most boring subjects known to man.

#welcom to this #my stealth death in paradise post that anyone can enjoy #I know next to none of you watch death in paradise but this is genuinely a through line they have going right now and it fucking rules #my guy (a man with four friends) started this week’s episode complaining that only four people had read his blog #and by the end of the episode even his massively supportive friend group don’t seems to be able hack it anymore #because by the end of the episode being read by one lone fringe weirdo #Nevil I of all people love and support your autistic ass but more people will read your blog if you mention your work some times #that said I would quite like to know if he told the blog that the environmentally friendly mosquito repellent didn’t work #or if he’s pretending it did for the sake of his public image and the hope of getting brand sponsorship #death in paradise

Kindness will not dismantle white supremacy. There is no getting around the demanding and delivering of justice that will ensure the liberation of our communities. What happened in Colorado is yet another horrific reminder of how the ongoing slaughter, displacement, and violence on Queer / Trans communities directly resulted from white supremacy attempting to eradicate us for our existence. My heart is so heavy right now after reading the horrific news. I couldn’t stop thinking that the very few limited safe spaces within a heteronormative society are constantly under attack by right-wing conservative groups. These hateful ideologies are spread by misinformation and other tactics used to invalidate our existence. It’s not enough to say you are an ally for our communities. It’s the bare minimum to not be silent on acts of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. As someone has experienced gun violence, it changes the way you navigate the world, the way you speak to people, and the constant threat of having to turn around in case someone walks behind you with an armed gun. Our existence is more than enough in the fight for Queer and Trans liberation where we are constantly being attacked, criticized, or even met with death because of the way we live. Say it for what it is and that dismantling white supremacy is environmentalism. I want it all gone, not just for me but for all those who are constantly under the threat of being met with violence for their identities. My Queerness is a heritage that cannot be taken away and I will not lose hope in this battle against white supremacy.

Sometimes I think the real problem with lawn discourse on Tumblr is that its idea of what sustainable plant husbandry looks like seems to be informed by the assumption that everyone everywhere lives in California.
