With Deep, Lifelong Respect and Appreciation...

We thank those who respect life, who understand the interdependent nature of our world, the great value of diversity, and need for equal opportunity. When I was in the  5th grade, we had the opportunity to research and write an eight page report on whomever we wished.
I chose The Honorable Reverand Dr MLK JR., delving passionately into the project with great respect for this person I saw as a hero, contacting Coretta King and burning the midnight oil learning about his life/work. His life committed to social justice impressed and inspired me to my core.
His message resonates, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” 
​
My report was 39 pages; my appreciation and admiration for him continues to grow.
Look into King as leader of environmental equity and ecological thinker.

There’s a good chance your holiday returns will end up in a landfill.

"Each year, consumers return about $380 billion worth of goods — $90 billion of which are processed during the holiday." according to Optoro, a tech company that helps major retailers manage their returns. 

Representatives from Optoro also state that "5 billion pounds of returned items end up in the trash heap. Moreover, only half of returns make it back onto shelves, the company estimates. The rest, due to circumstances such as damages or opened boxes, take a different path" (Posted: 9:44 AM, December 26, 2017, By: CNN WIRE).
