Deep in a northern Ontario mine, scientists have discovered water that has been trapped inside of rock for over 2 billion years! Studying this water has helped scientists gain new insights into how life can survive in these extreme environments and could help guide us as we search for life on other planets and moons in our solar system!
Our new episode - "The World's Oldest Water" - is now streaming on TVO and at the link in our bio!

Lake Erie’s toxic algae blooms significantly threaten local communities and wildlife. One of the major contributors to the nutrient pollution that causes blooms to form is the over-application of fertilizers on farm fields and poor soil health that makes it harder for water to be asorbed underground, leading to runoff and flooding.
Learn more about these environmental hazards and how farmers are using more sustainable forms of agriculture to improve soil health and water management on farms by streaming our latest episode - "Save Our Soils" - on TVO or at the link in our bio!

Over 10 million kilograms of plastic enter the Great Lakes each year. As the largest freshwater ecosystem on Earth fills up with plastic, it is also building up in the bodies of wildlife and the 40 million people who rely on the Lakes for drinking water.

Did you know that turtles are seed spreaders? As turtles age they eat more vegetable matter rather than protein and as they walk and swim through their wetland and forest homes they dispose of seeds across large areas, encouraging new life and growth!
