This story was originally published by Vox.com and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Each year, in late spring and early summer, female sea turtles will crawl out of the ocean under moonlight to lay their eggs in the sand, often returning to the same beach on which they were born many years earlier.

This piece was originally published in Vox and appears here as part of our Climate Desk collaboration. One morning this week, Hanna Koch was snorkeling in the Florida Keys when she came across a brown beer bottle on the sea floor. Koch, a marine biologist for Florida’s Monroe County, picked up the bottle, planning to carry it with her and later toss it out. Through her dive mask, Koch peered inside to make sure it was empty.

One way to assess your emotional state, according to my therapist: Imagine you open a kitchen cabinet and everything — tupperware, mixing bowls, etc. — comes tumbling out. How do you react? Would you scream? Cry? Laugh it off and calmly put things back? Honestly very helpful.
