I think the big question for me is.... could I actually tour the Obama Presidential Center without bursting into tears at least once? No. The answer is certainly no.

Part of the reason I reuse my plastic bottles. I get all of my shampoo, body wash, detergent, household cleanser, liquid hand soap at the refill shop behind Cville Coffee. Very little goes into that recycling bin.

I'm so proud of my husband, Nelson County Board of Supervisor Ernie Reed. Decades of fighting egregious community-destroying projects and promoting good ideas just give him more fuel to keep working towards a positive future. When his own community came together to fight a local challenge... 1/3

In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

Another way to get everybody out of a building is to pull the fire alarm. Or claim there's a bomb threat. Hell, you could burn the building down. ICE has so many options available to them that will cause generational harm to society, and they will absolutely use them if they're not stopped.
