Species of this planet are ingesting plastic in one form or another.
. The invasive increase of plastics over the decades is overwhelming, and more important is the public failing to deal with it.
Inevitably, it reminds me of what U.S. Sen. Paul Douglas once said: “When I was young, I hoped to save the world. In my middle years, I would have been content to save my country. Now I just want to save the Dunes.” And that ain’t much.As I near my 88th birthday, I find myself reflecting on the immense changes I’ve witnessed since my birth before World War II and Jackie Robinson’s historic baseball debut.
I dream of a society in which American flags, pride flags and peace flags symbolize unity. I envision a future in which our children can freely determine their own paths without fear or prejudice, a future in which they make choices about their own bodies, a future in which they are happy. Nevertheless, I think we need to carry the letter writers’ arguments further — that the voting public would be well served by hearing from more candidates. There are, after all, several people running for president from a variety of perspectives, some on third-party tickets , and some as independents. Some have comprehensive platform positions, and one party already has ballot access in most of our 50 states.
