Historias de Natgeo

This story focuses on the point of view of Fernando who experiences poverty regarding pollution of the sea. It conveys a message to everyone that we should find a way to eliminate pollution for the time might come where everything will be gone in just a snap of finger. There are people near the sea who starve because of poverty and they only rely on the fishes that they catch for food and money. What will happen to them if fishes no longer exists?

This was my entry for the #PlanetOrPlastic competition 2018. We abuse single-use plastic every day. Many of us do not see the effects firsthand. Instead we live in a blissful ignorance. But, our planet is not a single-use object to be abused. Planet or Plastic? You decide.

How would you feel knowing that it was plastic entering your digestive system? This is my second entry for the National Geographic #PlanetorPlastic short story competition. Enjoy!

There's nothing like the beauty of the sea--when all is right. Its shoreline can entice one to walk along it. Its crashing waves can soothe a troubled mind. Its fish and world can both feed humans and mesmerize them. But with the dawn of plastics, came the doom of the oceans--long before anyone knew it. Had people not tossed their single-use plastics into the sea, a harrowing evolution would not have taken place. The water world and its fish would have continued to flourish. But they didn't. What could be the horror of a plastic-tossing mistake?

I'm really proud to write this story as an entry to the #planetorplastic campaign with National Geographic. I had a National Geographic subscription as I grew up. I have fond memories of the stacks of yellow spines in our bookcase and flicking through the pages. It really helped form my view and philosophy on the planet, people and our role in it from a young age. This is something very different from what you would usually see from my writing - this is my personal experience with freediving and how it brought me closer to the Ocean and helped reveal our role in it. I will preface all of this with the sacred rules of freediving; if you want to try it (and I suggest you do!) contact a professional instructor for training and you should never, ever, ever freedive alone.

This book is just a list of animal species, and some facts about them! I've never really written a book like this, so excuse me if it's not that good, haha.

A wish that was so good that it turned out to be so bad for us all. My entry to National Geographic's #PlanetOrPlastic writing contest.

My submission for National Geographic's Planet Or Plastic contest. Please share if you like the story

A submission for #PlanetOrPlastic. When "doing what you can" might just not be enough.

What would you do if, one day, everything you know and care for is damaged and you can't live on earth anymore nor leave it? How you react if they told you that the only solution to save the future of humany is living underwater? Would you do it? But most importantly, could it actually be possible?

It's soul is screaming in agony Can you hear it? My first entry for #planetorplastic contest. Completed - October 24, 2018

This is my submission for National Geographic's "Plastic Or Planet" contest. Writing started as a hobby and a way to give life to some amazing dreams I had. In reality, I am someone that is interested in a lot of different things including science and, more specifically, environmental sciences. That's what led me to pursue my studies in Ecology, now, I understand what problems our Planet, our World, faces and I know that the only way to save our future is by changing the path we are taking. To achieve this we have to change people's minds by teaching, explaining and showing them why it is crucial for our future and our descendants' future to conserve nature. I truly believe that Humans are not superior to other species and that it's the arrogance of thinking we are superior that will be our downfall. We do not own this world, we share it with other species. Our superior stage of evolution and knowledge doesn't give us more rights over this planet, it only gives us more responsibility to take care of it.
