The Big Green Egg

“It’s a tough world out there when you’re an herbivore, particularly for us insects.” I’m a Green Stinkbug (Nezara viridula). I’ll guide you through some of current battles between us and plants.

This co-evolution process has developed symbiotic relationships- both good (commensalism) and bad (predation/parasitism) depending on whose side you’re on. The relationships we’ll see are between insects,…

“You never really know what’s coming; a small wave, or maybe a big one. All you can really do is hope that when it comes, you can surf over it, instead of drown in its monstrosity.” F.

Scott Fitzgerald shows frustration with what the American Dream symbolized during the 1920s. One symbolic way in which he shows his dissatisfaction with the American Dream is his disagreement between the haves and the have-nots.

Gatsby will never be like Daisy or Tom even though he is also very rich…

My second leap of faith assumption is each person is aware and knows the importance of how to live green by recycling the waste and reusing it again for different purpose.
