      <image:title>Blog - The Environmental Impacts of Different Diets</image:title>
      <image:caption>(Chart from Our World in Data representing land use per kg of various food products) The Environmental Benefits of Eco-Conscious Diets -        According to The Vegan Calculator, every day a person eating a vegan diet saves 20 pounds of CO2 emissions, 30 square feet of forest, 40 pounds of grain, and 1,100 pounds of water!   Eating a vegetarian diet reduces your carbon emissions by 2.5 times compared to a meat diet.  -        A vegetarian diet requires 2.5 times less the amount of land needed to grow food, compared to a meat-based diet. -        In the USA, up to 40% of food ends up in landfills, and a freegan diet helps reduce that number! -        Conventional food distribution was responsible for 5 to 17 times more CO2 than local and regionally produced food.  -        Buying local food could reduce the average consumer’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 5 percent.   As you now know, what you choose to eat can greatly affect the environment, and there are so many ways you can implement environmental eating habits into your life to reduce your ecological footprint! Hopefully this blog helped you find the right diet and foods to eat in order to help reduce your ecological footprint in a way that makes sense for you!    Sources:  Cho, R. (2012, September 4).

      <image:caption>Our actions in Ohio affect the rest of the planet because all waterways are interconnected. This map by Robert Szucs demonstrates how all rivers and tributaries in the USA are intertwined and lead to the Great Lakes or the ocean. This means what we put in the water in Ohio will ultimately enter our beautiful Great Lakes or the Gulf of Mexico, where it will mix into the global ocean system.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Water 101 - What is pollution?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many industrial facilities release pollutants into local Ohio waterways as a waste byproduct. Common pollutants found in the Ohio River are mercury and nitrates. Mercury can move through the food chain and cause mercury poisoning in people, and nitrates can cause unsightly and often toxic algal blooms.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e7e4c1e737abc0444cb359d/t/5e8f598131d812272ff7ff81/1586452875183/b7ac30_5cf16bec69e94503980b0db6864454e0%7Emv2.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Water 101 - Point vs. Nonpoint source pollution</image:title>
      <image:caption>Industrial facilities typically utilize a pipe to discharge wastewater from their facility into a nearby waterway. In Ohio, these pipes are a significant form of point source pollution. Farms are common nonpoint sources of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution. When it rains or the snow melts in Ohio, the water can carry fertilizers and animal waste, composed of mostly nitrogen and phosphorus, into nearby waterways.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Water 101 - Plastic, a pollutant.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Plastic from Ohio flows through local waterways until it reaches either the Great Lakes or the Gulf of Mexico. Fish often mistake plastic for food, which causes toxins from plastics to enter the food chain. When we consume fish in Ohio, we are also ingesting harmful contaminants.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Water 101 - Harmful Algal Blooms</image:title>
      <image:caption>Severe eutrophication can cause harmful algal blooms, such as the algal bloom in Lake Erie which contaminated 400,000 Toledo, OH residents’ drinking water in 2014.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e7e4c1e737abc0444cb359d/t/5e8f5f0e1610114444b8539d/1586454303043/b7ac30_c82f2f84f6be4f73aaece3b86a9f6f7c%7Emv2.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Water 101 - Water without oxygen</image:title>
      <image:caption>Because of the frequency of large algal blooms in Lake Erie, the area is at risk of becoming a dead-zone where no fish will survive. The Gulf of Mexico is currently home to the world’s largest dead zone, which has been caused from decades of nutrient loading into the Gulf from states all along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ocean Science - In addition to providing excellent ocean content for our community, these ocean scientists also provide valuable hands-on educational opportunities for students in Ohio. Some students (including one of our interns!) continue to work remotely with these scientists by assisting with their research data analysis. This provides students with the ability to meaningfully contribute to the hard ocean sciences and find out what it's really like to be an ocean scientist.</image:title>

      <image:title>Ocean Science</image:title>
      <image:caption>With the support of our partners, we are excited to be part of the movement to meaningfully connect ocean scientists to the greater Ohio community. Top-tier scientists, like Dr. Neil Hammerschlag (left) known for his groundbreaking shark research featured on Discovery Channel, have spoken to thousands of students within Stark County, OH about how Ohioans impact the ocean, how the ocean impacts Ohioans, and Ohioans' role in the ocean conservation movement.</image:caption>
