Ei Article Books
In September 2020, the Fingertip Press published the first Ei Article Book: From Macro to Micro to Nanoplastics, an excerpt from the RiA article, Plastics: a double-edged sword.
From Plastics: a double-edged sword:
The seemingly magical gift of plastic came with a double-edged sword filled with the potential to destroy life as it is currently known on Earth.In less than seventy years, humans managed to infiltrate the Earth with micro and nanoplastics from discarded single-use and durable products in literally every nook and cranny, ranging from the arctic snow caps to the depths of the oceans and everywhere in between.It is time to shift perspectives from human-focused to life-focused and let the Earth show us how to heal the damage inflicted. Answers will come to those who live and take action from the heart.
- Plastics at the beach - showcases how readily available durable and single-use plastic items are common place during beach enjoyment.
- Beyond litter, cigarette butts are plastic pollution - explains how cigarette filters are made of cellulose acetate, a plastic.
- Ei Exploration of Fungi, Soil Health, & World Hunger - gives an overview of the empowering October 2018 exploration.

Environmental Journalism
In 2015, the National Geographic (NatGeo) Channel invited Ei to join a virtual discussion on the exciting progress in the field of alternative energy. The conversation tied into the soon-to-air Breakthrough: Energy on the Edge episode. Rather than craft a single article, Ei published the following two articles in a point-counterpoint fashion:
RiA Magazine: Alternative Energy: creating solutions or potential disasters? - gives a reality-check perspective on the potential dangers inherent within some of the emerging energy technologies.
photo credit: solarreserve.com - IMPACT Magazine: Alternative Energy: embracing the creative spirit! - gives a counterpoint perspective while showcasing the creative spirit of featured scientists.
With each article, the common thread is a recommended focus on harnessing energy versus creating energy.
Since 2016, Ei was included on environmental press-media lists with regular invitations for interviews and advance-book copies. In fall 2020, Ei received interview invitations from two prominent environmental and conservation photographers. Holly was honored to research, interview, and write articles featuring her heroes. Back in the 2014 - 2016 timeframe, Holly took on-line photography classes from the photographers and holds them in high esteem
The articles catapulted Holly from documentation of Ei's important work into respected mainstream environmental journalism.
The Photo Ark: a gift from the heart
Currently, the Photo Ark boasts 11,230 formal portraits. In addition to the portrait gallery, a comprehensive nearly 40,000-photo Photo Ark Gallery, including in-the-field images, is available for viewing. An excellent search function accompanies the gallery.
On May 15, 2020, a press release announced the Nat Geo Photo Ark added the 10,000th image to the impressive collection of species portraits from animals in human care around the globe. Each portrait is captured on a white or black background, and published images are the same dimension; thus, a tiny mouse is literally the same size as an elephant in the Photo Ark.
Renowned Nat Geo photographer Joel Sartore created the Photo Ark as a vehicle to showcase the Earth's tremendous biodiversity within the Animal Kingdom along with the mass extinction in process.
The RiA Magazine article, Photo Ark: a gift from the heart, chronicles the Photo Ark's history and gives accolades to Joel Sartore for his tremendous commitment to endangered species.

Within the Nature Prevails premise, the Earth heals herself and nurtures renewed life forms, no matter the calamity caused by humans, natural disasters, or extraterrestrial activities.
The IMPACT article, Ei Welcomes New Advisors, announces the impressive new Ei Advisory Council members who are committed to RWG projects and task forces. Additionally, two University of Toronto-affiliated Ei interns researched the Nature Prevails premises necessary for the RWG's important forthcoming work. Future Nature Prevails articles are on the Fingertip Press docket.
During the 2020 pandemic, Holly focused on expanding her technical-design skills to embellish the Ei communication platform. The Nanoplastics book was the inaugural project where Holly designed the book layout.
