Keep our oceans clean, pick up your dog’s poop
Yesterday I was out walking in my neighborhood and came across the strangest thing…12 bags of dog poop lined up on someone’s balcony. Was it poop art instead of pop art?

Read the book Global Chorus
Today is an exciting day because April 11 is the date my essay is featured in the book Global Chorus: 365 Voices On The Future of the Planet. It started with an email from editor extraordinaire Todd MacLean inviting me to be a contributor to a Global Chorus, an anthology he was putting together featuring… [read more]
California’s plastic bag ban on hold
I must confess, I have been avoiding writing about this subject for awhile. But in an attempt to face reality, here’s the deal…California’s statewide plastic bag ban is on hold.
