I wanted to take a few minutes to write about a few things that have been on my mind lately (always); animal welfare, supporting local agriculture, and waste management.
Each year I often wonder why I tolerate winter in Rhode Island. It’s cold, grey, wet, and all the birds seem to hide. But then one day, usually around this time in March, signs of spring just seem to present themselves everywhere I look.
We’ve got to talk trash. Each year, the amount of litter on our roadsides continues to increase. Unless it’s cleaned up, there’s a pretty decent chance that the debris is going to make it’s way into a nearby storm drain and ultimately, enter our waterways.
This year, the Great Backyard Bird Count is taking place from Friday, February 12th through Monday, February 15th. There are still two days left to participate! It’s easy, fun, and helps scientific research.
