Tinder is an online dating app that has been sweeping the world…or should I say swiping the world? The app matches potential partners based mostly on their appearances. Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) wanted to try their paws at a fun campaign to match some of their orphaned furry friends with potential new owners. How? By creating a profile for some of their cats that had more human names. VOKRA partnered with ReThink Canada and created several profiles on tinder and started matching with young singles in the area. Of course they played around with them for a bit before confessing that the profile was for the cat, not the human.

I am absolutely fascinated by Earth's Physical Environments. What I like specifically about this map and most maps for that matter is that you won't find a lot of comfortable environments that introduce you to many environmental areas in real life. As long as I have the survival skills, I would love to live in a place where I can know what are Earth's Physical Environments.
