I usually bicycle to work, but one day this fall, I walked. Along the way, I witnessed a familiar sight. A man had a leaf blower strapped to his back. It was a loud, large, gas-powered unit, and he was sweeping its wand in front of him, blowing leaves and grass clippings off the sidewalk and into the street.
It was working well for him. It took probably 10 minutes to finish the job, but it was 10 minutes filled with unnecessary noise, noxious exhaust and the burning of carbons.
I thought to myself, Dude, have you ever heard of a broom?

Holidays evoke warm sentiments, melancholy and delicate wrapped packages of holiday feel-good, creating an ephemeral white-out of snowflakes the size of corn flakes, blinding society’s narcissistic acumen regarding planet earth’s observable devastation.

Change brings new hope, new passion and much gratitude.
Around us nature continually directs us to change and evolve. Seasons change, animals migrate, seeds sprout and grow, waters rage and recede. Change brings freshness, awareness and new focus. NUVO’s acquisition of Indiana Living Green well fits nature’s plan. ILG’s mission to be the “go to” green resource for Hoosiers will change and develop as well.

When I sit down to my annual turkey dinner this Nov. 24, I’ll be thankful for the great cook I married and the crowd of friends and family who share our Thanksgiving meal each year. But I’ll also be drinking a heartfelt toast to the fellow farmers who helped me make it through a memorably tough growing season.

 Your voice is needed to defend an unprecedented assault on Federal environmental protection.
Forty years ago, Republicans and Democrats worked together to pass an array of measures to protect air and water quality. The results: In just the last two decades, our most common air pollutants have declined by more than 40 percent, while our national economy has grown by more than 60 percent.
But today, bipartisan environmental problem-solving largely seems gone. In the last ten months alone, the U.S. House voted on 159 bills that would weaken environmental protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s capacity to protect our environment.
