COMMENTARY: Spring is here, now let's clean up all that garbage
Spring has arrived here in Bemidji, the lake is free of ice and we can see the grass again -- even if it is brown still. But with the snow gone, we now see what it has hidden these last few cold months: a whole lot of garbage.

COMMENTARY: Living in a world filled with greenwashing
Like many other people, I like to buy cleaner, more eco-friendly products, but it is so hard knowing which products that we buy are actually doing good, because so many companies are greenwashing their products.

COMMENTARY: An eco-friendly guide to celebrating this holiday season

Blue single use mask
Columns
COMMENTARY: A sad, blue sight to see
We see them everywhere, laying on the ground, full of mud and dirt -- people stepping on them without noticing. If you are like me you probably see them more now than cans or plastic bottles. Single-use masks are littered everywhere now: on sidewalks, in parking lots and ditches.
