You Have to Change Your Work Ethic Before You Can Change Your Life

Work ethic is really something that is overlooked by the current generation of employees and employers. Every job posting online is about experience and education and then you go in for an interview and, although not ethical, their decision is based on the way you look, speak, dress, and even your race. Personally, that just makes me want to be my own boss even more but that is much easier said than done. For most, being employed is the only option and the few employers that do look at you as a person rather than just another bill to pay are the ones you need to try to work for.

Here's How Climate Change is Really Affecting Our Planet and Why it Should Matter To You.

Disclaimer: To begin, I must add that I do not take one side or the other on the cause of climate change or the simple existence of it. I am merely going by the facts at hand that happen to be links between climate related changes in the earth and national/international economies. The facts strongly support a correlation in terms of increased natural disasters, changing water levels, rise of the ambient temperature of the Earth's crust, etc. I am not one to say what is causing it, it is simply the facts. I will leave that up to the scientists. Thank you for reading, you may continue :) Climate change, although widely disputed by scientists, conspiracy theorists, and even our President is beginning to rear its ugly head in everyday life. Effects may not be seen in your area just yet, but the impoverished areas of the world, such as Puerto Rico, Haiti, and much of South America are feeling the impacts of it in the way of food shortages
