A Can of Tuna
She looks at the can of tuna that she can’t bring herself to eat. “Why?” she asks herself inwardly. It’s incredibly good to eat, this. The omega 3’s alone are a huge component missing from much of the food we all eat. It comes in high levels with this powerful food. It is the same for seaweed used for skin cleansing, tightening and for food and yet our pollution still finds it. It has changed everything. For so long, we didn’t even know what a terrible thing mercury was or that it causes cancer in humans. Now that we know, we avoid it in thermometers. Thanks to the digital age,…

Earth Day…Posh! EVERYDAY is EARTH DAY folks! Jump on the green bus everyone let’s recycle on one day in April! Can you sense the sarcasm? That is how I view some of the Earth Day proceedings that I hear about over the internet via social media. It just seems hollow to me. That was my thinking before I got on the bus (literally) and connected with committed environmental folk at the Sweetwater 420 Festival held this past weekend in Chandler Park.
