Life Is LifeA black bird shot across the viewfrom my window this morning.He was in and out of my lifefor less than the breath of a second.He flew between two trees…one was bare, the other with leaves.Together they framed his flight.He wasn’t a particularly beautiful bird,but he left me with beautiful thoughts.As different as we appear to behe spoke of commonality…Of the way his life and mineare part of something largerAnd while neither of us could knowwhat it all means,His flight path was so straight and purethat I knew it had to mean something…And if his path meant something,I knew that mine must mean something too.Reece Burka12/30/2020
Big Chem-EZ: How can small Louisiana communities access clean drinking water after a hurricane?
When I went to visit the Pointe-au-Chien tribe after Hurricane Ida with my Service Learning class, I heard that one of the biggest challenges in the aftermath of the hurricane was finding enough drinking water, so in this article, I explore water purification methods: 1) when they are necessary, 2) how they work, and 3) if they really make your water safe to drink.
Big Chem-EZ: Why is southeastern Louisiana heavily impacted by storms?
This article explores the positive and negative impacts of the engineering industry on Louisiana, including how it is impacted by storms. The author also suggests a call to action to support Louisiana coastal restoration. Big Chem-EZ discusses how finding the best course of action can be challenging, and introduces various proposed solutions to wetland loss and environmental impacts on Louisiana industries.
