Chocolate is bad for the environment. Well, some of it is anyway. Cocoa is a cash crop. It also happens to grow in places where rainforests grow. I think we all know what that means.

Just before Thanksgiving, I participated in a webinar for a Life Learning Module at Mount Notre Dame High School. The topic was eco-spirituality

Earlier this week, someone asked me whether we still needed to worry about recycling paper. In short, YES! Paper comes from trees. And yes, they cut down fully mature trees to make it.
