Sunset Beach, Cape May, NJ © pam lazosPristine. The word means unspoiled, untouched, or as new, a quaint concept when describing the environment because there is almost no place left on earth that hasn’t been touched by man’s meddling. Today, freshwater supplies are more endangered than ever in human history. When only 0.5% of our freshwater is accessible and useable, and as of today, there are 8.2 billion thirsty people on the planet, I’d say that we will need to rethink some of our choices sooner rather than later.Add this to the fact that companies are selling us our groundwa…

Version 1.0.0According to the world’s leading astrologers, in 2025, mankind will make a paradigm shift that took 12,000 years to arrive, a “literal metamorphosis for us as humanity.” From the vantage point of utter chaos where we find ourselves sitting these days, it’s inconceivable that such a shift could even be possible. Yet, planetary activity suggests otherwise, with some predicting that “our 24th chromosome is coming back online,” which “will open up our multidimensionality in a way we’ve never known it before.”I’m sure we can all agree that we in the U.…

John Naylor, a former Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association (LSRA) Board member and founder of Susquehanna Plastic Pick’n 1000 (SPP1K), has another idea for getting plastic out of the Susquehanna River. This one started with a conversation John had with Daryl Lehman at Double Blaze Painting after Daryl did some painting for John, which resulted in a $250 rebate. Rather than pocket the cash, John created a funraiser around it. And so March Madness with SPP1K a/k/a Pick-a-Pound Funraiser was born. From March 1st through April 7th, 2025, John, with some help from the Dirty Dozen, will …

The iconic film The Dirty Dozen debuted in 1967. The movie depicts a group of WWII soldiers –“twelve general prisoners, convicted by courts-martial and sentenced to serve lengthy prison terms,” i.e., Army criminals — chosen to parachute across enemy lines and assassinate high-ranking personnel under Hitler’s command.The group of us from the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association that attended the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources DCNR’s cleanup of the floodplains along the Susquehanna Riverlands State Park yesterday were not so storied but simply hoping…

Among the leaf litter, we discover plastic as numerous as it appeared on the banks from a distance. We find bottle caps, spent lighters, shreds of plastic bags, and Styrofoam bits everywhere. We see broken bits of plastic, no longer reminiscent of the items of their origin. They are just bits of colorful plastic among the leaves, roots, and soil. A bird can’t fit a discarded Gatorade bottle in its beak, but the tiny colored bits of plastic that permeate this island may well be enticing to many creatures. Think back to the shorebirds pecking into the mudflats or the osprey diving for fish. Th…

Zoom In On the Conejohela Flats – Part 2

“We step gingerly and feel ahead before we press down firmly. When we kick an underwater object in the Flats, there are good odds that it might just be a radial tire. *** While we can’t agree on which fish are wanted, we can all agree that automobile tires have no business in this place. – Justin Mando, The Conejehola Flats, Part 2We’re back with Part 2 of the Conejohela Flats, and oh, man, the plastic! It’s really unnerving to see just how much trash three guys with a boat and some trash bags can pull out of the river in an afternoon. Let’s find out more, shall we? Back to our…

My friend and colleague, Justin Mando, who serves on the Board of the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association (LSRA) with me, has created a triptych of videos on the Conejohela Flats, a series of small islands and adjacent mudflats in the Susquehanna River which the National Audubon Society calls significant stopover points in the Eastern U.S. for shorebirds. The Flats are located in Clarke Lake, a slow-moving section of the Susquehanna River, and their fortunes rise and fall with the river, its inhabitants, and we humans who use the river.I asked Justin to answer a few questions about …

Hello, and Happy New Year! Nothing like hitting the ground running with a blog post on the first day of the new year. I have been a slacker for the last year, busy writing Bad Pharma, retiring from my day job and all the emotional shifts that come with Retirement, switching from lawyering to writing as a primary career, and trying to live in a world that always seems to be tilting toward extinction. It reminds me of a scene in Anne Rice’s, The Queen of the Damned, where Akasha, the queen, stares into the vast ocean of humanity with unblinking eyes — every terrible thing that has befallen …

Ladies — It’s the Really FOR REAL Time!

photo © Morgan EberlyElection Day is Tuesday, November 5th! Cooper says to vote like your Human Rights depend upon it—because they do.And ladies, listen up. Some of our forebears were arrested in attempting to secure the right to vote so we women could have a say in government. Do you want to throw that away?Without our legal icon, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, we’d still be asking our father’s, husbands, and brothers to co-sign a loan or take out a credit card. Do you want to throw that away?Donald Trump wants to “protect the women of our country,” but what that means is …
