Planet Earth is our home, and the cradle of humanity. It's the only home we have, and we have a duty to take care of it. Ever since the onset of industrialization, we've been failing in that duty. Ecological disasters, coupled with outright disregard, have done untold amounts of damage.
There are many other types of flora and fauna sharing the planet with us. Over the course of thousands of years of evolution, they've adapted to live harmoniously with the planet. Human beings have done the opposite; we've tried to make the planet change to suit our selfish needs.
In a world where some deny that climate change and environmental damage is even happening, we've collected evidence that proves the opposite is true. This list contains fifty photos that prove we're damaging Earth beyond repair. The worst thing is that we could easily have made this list even longer.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
