My Monthly Way To Give Back
Always having great compassions for the Wildlife, I signed up to be a member of the Wildlife Collections Society. Two months ago I started out with a purchase of three bracelets with Polar Bears on them. Each has a tracker. We adopt and between myself and our grandchildren, using our computers we can track where our Polar Bear is and knowing how they are doing.

Recycling is Just the Start
Recycling is just an illusion; it’s a story we’ve been told to make us feel better about buying plastic water bottles and aluminum pop cans. It’s a story that’s been shoved down our throats since preschool, and yet, it doesn’t live up to the promises it makes. And the problem is that no one is asking what recycling truly is, if its supporting the health of the Earth, or even what happens to those bottles and cans once they disappear from our bins.

My Green Home. Top Story - May 2021.
For my Wave Makers challenge, I chose to break down my home and our “green” habits. Allow me to begin by saying that we, my household and I, are not a 100% super green, eco-friendly home. We aren't, but the title isn't a lie either. More or less, we live by the ideology that if we don't need it, we don't use it and that if it's not safe enough to be recycled or broken down, then we don't need to be using it at all. With this in mind, we still have wasteful tendencies to an extent, but we try to make a difference in our choices to help out our beautiful planet.

How Moving to the PNW Made Me Take Ocean Conservation Seriously
I’ve always loved water. Born in Minnesota, I remember exploring Minnehaha Falls as a child, and I enjoyed visiting my grandparents in California because we would spend time in Monterey. I’ve always felt connected to the water, and everything in it.

The Sun Will Shine and the Wind will Blow
I’m an optimist. I have high hopes for the future of Planet Earth. I believe that the techies of this day will prevail in giving us affordable electric vehicles with solid state batteries that will be capable of getting us from one side of the country to the other using an infrastructure tailored to that end. I’m already seeing the fruits of those who dream such things. There are more and more charging stations out there.

Direct Action: Tree Huggers and DAPL
When I say tree-hugger, what do you think? Is it some hipster with long, unwashed hair who loves the environment? It's probably used derisively, someone to be scoffed at as their heads are in the clouds. But this is an inaccurate idea of environmentalism.

Into The Blue
Cold salty waves crashed against the rocks. His green eyes were sensitive to the setting sun as he watched his favorite ship and sailor sail into the open waters as a storm brewed on the horizon. She knew better, his thoughts wandered as he watched, climbing the stairs of the lighthouse.
