Our throw-away society is poisoning itself: If you’re not part of the solution, you are part of the problem

Litter is not just a consumer-created problem; manufacturers need to take responsibility for what they produce. A dog bone, for example, doesn’t need to be packaged in plastic. Recycling programs are essential but more can be done to curb consumerism in our throw-away society.

From the editor: Something larger than our human differences

by Melissa Hale-Spencer

For a few moments today, we felt a sense of shared humanity, stunned by our universe.

We live in an era where we are constantly bombarded with information, a 24/7 news cycle — of wars, and floods, and droughts, and famines.

This is compounded and magnified with the misinformation that comes with social media.

The show must go on!

Sharon Breisch, New Scotland
