99. The Dead Sea, Israel
The Dead is said to be the saltiest place on Earth. It’s a center of health research. It’s also the only feeder for the famous Jordan River. In the past 40 years, it has been irreversibly damaged by mineral mining from cosmetic companies and even farmers.
It has lost one-third of its contents. Worse yet, sinkholes have appeared where the water retreated. The coastline is receding roughly three feet annually and in less than 50 years it’ll be gone.

I agree with you! I like the look too! The colors and theme were already selected though when I was hired on to write. I know we use WordPress, if that is any help.
