The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
I knew they existed but didn’t know one was in my neighborhood, just a few houses down. While my husband and I are busy feeding the birds in our yard, our neighbor Tom ensures the birds find more than dried fruits and bird seeds.
I’m interested in environmental issues, among other things, so I write about them as I write about everything else that moves me. I try to do my best in my everyday life – day after day to keep this world green and safe. BUT I’M NOT PERFECT.

My quest to help save this planet was doomed to fail right from the start. “Put the lunch meat and the cheese in my containers, no plastic bags, please,” and with a determined, but not confident smile I handed her my food containers, yet she didn’t take them.
