The Challenge of Aging

A will is a legal instrument expressing a person's intentions and wishes for the disposition of his or her property after death.


I personally do not have will, since I am 20 years old and do not legally own anything. But when I am older, I definitely will have one. Wills are extremely important. Wills insure the testator (person who makes the will) that their properties and belongings will be given to those that they wanted so. 

Free forms for creating a will are available to residents of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 

Since every resident in the United States has access to creating a will for free, there is multiple websites to easily access. I will be listing them below:





I would like to add that a living will is a legal document that a person uses to make known his or her wishes regarding life prolonging medical treatments.

These are also extremely important, because they can stop someone from plugging your plug! (Or the other way around. Whatever you want them to do to you, when your in a critical state). 

I hope this makes you want to get a will today! :) 
Remember, life is short and might as well protect yourself and your loved ones.

GARBAGE ISLAND!


Garbage Island is a is a gyre of marine debris in the central North Pacific Ocean.

It's said to be twice the size of Texas and full of debris. The main debris is plastic! This is really bad, since plastic is not biodegradable. The plastics (and other debris) are polluting the oceans and harming innocent animals. 


Trash pilled so high, it's sitting on the ocean! 


The picture above, is quite disturbing  I put it up so people can see the negative consequences of properer disposal of waste. 

"It is estimated that 80% of the plastic in the ocean comes from land sources while 20% comes from ships at sea"

"Because the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so far from any country’s coastline, no nation will take responsibility or provide the funding to clean it up. Many international organizations, however, are dedicated to preventing the patch from growing any further."

The reason why I picked Garbage Island out of all the videos is because it seemed the most shocking to me. 

How to help!:
REUSE
RECYCLE
THROW AWAY TRASH PROPERLY
