By the year 2050, the weight of plastic in the oceans is projected to outweigh that of fish.

Although we can sometimes get a little cranky from feeling hot and sticky, we also acknowledge the fact that not only are we #blessed to live in paradise, but summer is endless around these parts, and we need to take advantage. Go outside, explore, and uncover some of the best outdoor activities this town has to offer.

The first day of the month marked April Fool’s Day, Easter Sunday, Passover’s third day, and National Atheist Day. It was also the beginning of National Poetry Month and, for Miamians, the O, Miami Poetry Festival. The fest’s monthlong programming of events and participatory interventions aim to expose every resident in Miami-Dade County to a poem in April.
