If signed by New York Governor Hochul, this bill would give New Yorkers more affordable and more sustainable options for their final resting place.

If you leave out hair, string, or pet fur each spring to help your local birds build their nest, you need to stop because you could be killing them.

It's easy to see where the concept of the arcade game Frogger came from.

Today is "Earth Day", a day when we recognize that we live on a fragile planet that needs our efforts to preserve it. Traditionally on this day, many local groups and individuals put forth efforts to help clean up parks, streets, creeks and streams from picking up litter to recycling discarded items.

If you do some fishing or canoeing on central New York  streams and creeks, you know that Sauquoit Creek has accumulated debris after several storms last year. Now a cleanup effort will take place this summer with financial help from the state.

One of my favorite bumper stickers is: "Earth, Love It Or Leave It". This Sunday, we all get a chance to love it on Earth Day. There are a number of local clean-up efforts going on that day, as volunteers roll up their sleeves and make their contribution to cleaning up our local portion of the planet.
