Change in Course

Due to volume of issues that affect our Mother Earth this blog will be changed a bit to try and make it easier to update. Rather that trying to create pages by category it will be more of just chronological inputs.

Trying to keep up with the mass amounts of information is just to difficult.

So hopefully this is useful information for all in making a more sustainable world.

The intent is to put new items at the top to make more visible.  Also a last updated date will be added so you can tell if there has been an update.  A new page will be started with a title of "Life on Earth".

Oh how I wish this store would start caring about what they are doing to the environment.  They leave the lights on all night for security.  They should just install a metal frame or something in the window for evening.

But instead they leave the lights on which caused pollution by consuming more energy and hence pollution.  It is just a waste and even corporate does not seem to care.  This has been posted on Facebook multiple time and to their corporate as well.

Yet in my opinion all I see is a store/corporation that does not care about the environment, future generation or being a polluter.

So sad that this just goes on and on and they do nothing.  This photo was taken about 9:30 PM on 1 Jan 2014 when the store was closed.
