All these women (especially women of color) being elected to Congress are inspiring as hell. 🌻🌻 It’s time to get up and keep fighting the good fight. • • • • #thegirlinpursuit #naturephotography #photography

Pretty much all animals aren’t meant to be in captivity, but for orcas, dolphins and other sea mammals it can be a different type of hell. 🐬 According to the the Dolphin Project, tanks in zoos lack the depth the ocean does (obviously), meaning dolphins get more sun exposure, which can their skin their burn and blister. They are also not used to chlorine, which can cause permanent damage to their eyesight. 🐬 Most dolphins in captivity were trapped in Japan (watch The Cove if you want more info) or born in captivity. Any dolphins trapped in this spot in Japan that are not deemed “attractive” enough for zoos and whatnot are killed while the others are taken (most of them babies). 🐬 Sea mammals in captivity face a lot of horrible things—the best way to help is to not go to any places that have dolphins you can “swim” with (and stay away from sea world). Interaction with humans actually causes wild animals a lot of stress and can drastically change their behaviors. Documentaries that have more info about this are Blackfish and The Cove. 🐬 The best way to co exist with wild animals is by leaving them alone and keeping the earth clean. • • • • #thegirlinpursuit #sustainability #protectdolphins #dolphinproject #happyearth

environment fun fact 1!! The meat industry contributes to about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to deforestation and issues with water quality. Loss of wildlife areas due to agriculture is also the leading cause of wildlife extinction, according to a study that was covered by The Guardian. 🌱 One of the main reasons I’m a vegetarian is to reduce my carbon footprint. Of course, this isn’t for everyone and may not fit into everyone’s lifestyle, but cutting down on meat even a little can make a difference. 🌱 Not everyone has the means to take meat out (I’m thinking people in developing countries and those who struggle financially) but it’s worth thinking about. If you have any questions about it, hit me up and I’ll answer them the best I can. 🌱 (Also, because I know someone will ask, humans do not need that much protein in a day. You can easily get enough protein from dark green vegetables, beans, tofu, cheese, nuts, etc.) • • • #thegirlinpursuit #vegetarian #sustainability #gogreen #lifestyleblogger

I’m all for social media—it is such a great way to connect with others and see all of these different types of art and self expression. But I think in our pursuit for more followers or having a good feed we forget to talk about other things happening in the world. For example, I’m passionate about protecting our environment, but I don’t talk about it as much as I could. Sometimes I get so frustrated with people who always ignore bigger issues that are going on, especially those on Instagram who don’t really have much substance to their accounts (I’m talking about those accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers who only talk about what sale is happening that day). This platform is perfect, especially for those who do have thousands of followers, for bringing awareness to issues such as climate change, gender-related issues, etc. and we should probs take advantage of that. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I’ll be posting more environment fun facts. • • • #thegirlinpursuit #photography #environment #sustainability #socialmedia #lifestyleblogger
