Well- speaking of "the crash" two years ago was rather abstract. It still is... just a bit less so. Now, more of us are seeing it in our own lives... up close. Even if we ourselves aren't "jobless" or "in foreclosure," the chances are greater that w…

River Volunteer Reflects on Experience

You should know that volunteers are the heart of grassroots organizations! Without them, I would have given up on improving our waterways about 5 years ago.  THEY are the ones who work hard, use their own gas money, time, energy, muscles, equipment and then take that message to other individuals.  Thank you to all the [...]

It's not only a hassle for cell phone owners, but it's a huge problem for e-waste as the chargers become useless when the corresponding cell phones are tossed aside for newer models.
