Since 1950, we have mass produced over 8.3 billion metric tons, most of which have ended up in our oceans. There is a floating garbage island named "Great Pacific Garbage Patch." There's also a second covering about one million square miles, its larger than the state of Texas. More than 180 species of animals have been documented to ingest plastic, including, birds, fish, turtles, and marine mammals. Plastic has infected our health and endangers the length of time our planet has to live.

The Bug Kid Chronicles: The Rise Of Bug Kid
By unraveling this sacred scroll, hidden from our dimension for thousands of eons, you have entered a world beyond our comprehension. A world that only the most ADD brained children may be able to even fathom. I am talking of course about the world of Grubonia. A world where the nastiest of creatures have dwelled, and the sewage swamps produced the finest of sap. Over the seas filled with dead tuna and the vast deserts of vomiting geckos. Past the sunset, where birds flew over frog herds (a herd of frogs) and giant crickets conquered the infested plains. A world where milk is green, and I don't give a fuck. Welcome to The Bug Kid Chronicles! This story is based on a genre I invented known as Grub Core, and the fantastic origins of it!

We Eukaryotes
About 1.5 billion years ago, the single-celled eukaryotes became the common ancestors of all multicellular plants, animals, and fungi. Fish evolved a primitive lung sac and four limbs, 350 million years ago, so they could crawl between fresh water swamps. About 250 million years ago, the ancestors of all mammals, were tiny nocturnal insectivores and, about 6 million years ago, we began walking on two legs. The most recent Ice Age (2.6 million to 12,000 years ago), severely reduced rainfall in Africa, where Homo habilis was evolving. In Homo erectus (1.9 to 0.5 million years ago), cranial capacity increased to between 850 and 1000 cm3 implying the phenomenal increase of 125,000 more neurons with each generation. Between 70 and 50 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens spread out from east Africa. Then, about 20,000 years ago, evolution made a sharp change in direction. After 250 million years, we ceased to be hunter gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution meant we could never go back. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Complete
The dreamer
So many deaths are happening. Some as a result of overwhelming heat waves, floods and raging storms, contaminated air, drought and famines, health risks, rising sea levels causing displacements and conflicts. In fact the list is endless. Most of lands and cities along coastline have already been submerged into the expanding seas and oceans endangering high number of communities. Also many species are getting extinct as the conditions worsen.
My Wish Come True✅
#1 in EarthMixx (15th August 2021) #2 in EarthMix (18th August 2021) #3 in PhuphaTian (31st May 2022) "I wish to connect with my one true love and to find my place in the world amongst all this chaos and loneliness." When Phupha wishes on a falling star to help him find someone to love him, he never expected the star to take a physical form to try to grant his wish, nor did he expect to start to develop feelings for the said star. The most unexpected turn happens when the CEO of one of the successful companies in Bangkok crosses the threshold of his daughter's class, and finds his star to be a certain elementary school teacher. That's when everything changes.Complete
The True King (Completed)
People changed into dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles ranging from small dinosaurs such as Microraptor to giants such as Argentinosaurus a colossal one plus foot long herbivore. Read the journey of Ash Huntsman and his friends as they start off as humans before they become hunters. Will they reach the highest point of the food pyramid? Will he become the king and the strongest apex predator the world has seen? I will be editing this later on but not quite yet expect the process to start sometime in March maybe April of this year. Marine retiles include animals from the Cambrian period to Cretaceous period. Giants of these include Mosasaurus, giant sharks, and the earliest Brontoscropio from the Cambrian period. Ancient animals: postosuchus, gorgonopsid, and dimetrodons. Time periods in order oldest to youngest Palaeozoic era begins: Cambrian 570-492 Million years ago Ordovician 492- 435 Million Years ago Silurian 435-412 Million years ago Devonian 412-354 Million years ago Carboniferous splits into two eras Mississippian and Pennsylvanian 354- 286 Million Years ago Permian 286-248 Million Years ago Massive extinction ending the Palaeozoic Era Palaeozoic era ends and Mesozoic begins: Triassic Period 248-213 million years ago Jurassic Period 213- 144 million years ago Cretaceous Period 144- 65 million years ago Biggest Mass extinction since the Permian Period.

Health
The human population increased from 1 billion to 7.8 billion between 1800 and 2020 because of sewage treatment, clean drinking water, vitamins, vaccines and antibiotics. In the USA in 1800, 46% of babies died before their fifth birthday; in 2020 less than 1% died. (Breastfeeding babies up to 12 months should be given 400 IU of vitamin D per day; 600 IU thereafter). In 1536, Jacques Cartier's crew were cured of scurvy with a tea made from the arbor vitae tree's needles (which have 50 mg of vitamin C per 100g). In 1796, Dr.E.Jenner developed a smallpox vaccine from cowpox. In 1812, When Napoleon invaded Russia only 40,000 soldiers survived a typhus epidemic; over 400,000 died. Between1848 and 1870, life expectancy in Liverpool, England, increased from 19 years to 40 years because of the new sewage system. In 1854, Dr. J. Snow identified a public well as the source of a cholera outbreak in London. In 1865, J.Lister applied a carbolic acid solution, to a boy's broken leg and was amazed when the leg bones fused back together without gangrene.

Looking For Hope
After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community.
