    What interesting times we live in today. It is nice to see our government and businesses doing what they can to go green. Some paths admittedly won’t work as well as others and mistakes will be made but progress is happening every day. In the vein of self promotion I would like to point out that the community has done wonders protecting our environment by donating to and shopping at our local thrift stores. Funds are raised for charitable causes; items find new life, preventing the continued consumption of our natural resources; and tons and tons of materials are diverted from our landfill. Around forever, productive, efficient, and trying to be more eco-friendly every day, we thank you for your support.
