Sorry, I don't have fancy pictures to offer, but I sure hope you will read to the end.
I have to say, there is a lot of information out there about the pros and cons of recycling. Plastics in particular in this instance. A posting just came up moments ago, baldly stating that 91 percent of plastics that we the consumers faithfully place in our recycling bins, actually lands up in landfills, and ultimately the oceans. Please look up the details for yourself. This postings was done by a company that produces washer sheets that are not packed in plastic, but in paper wraps. I am not advocating for those folks one way or another, but they do make a valid point in the plastic recycling story. So I thought I would follow up on their claims.
There are a number of respectable agencies as well as National Geographic confirming these facts. So what to do about it? That's what I have been pondering. Well, for one thing, quit buying ANYTHING that comes contained or wrapped in plastics. It can be done. Just takes a little work and research on our parts. Fine, you say, but I am working full time, have no time to devote to sorting through what can and can't be done. Let me put this to you. Each one of us as a consumer is putting one more nail into the coffin of our once lovely world by supporting the giants that produce plastics and don't give a darn about whether they recycle or not. It just isn't economical and after all, the bottom dollar is king!
Fortunately, the plastic grocery bags are going the way of the dodo, we have all been encouraged to bring our re-useable cloth bags to the store for our purchases. That is the tip of the iceberg, now, with pressure from the consumers, after all we are the ones spending the billions to feed these plastics magnates, perhaps they too will see the wisdom in packaging that really IS recyclable. There, rant over for now. Good luck. I for one am going to at least try a little harder to be more careful about this matter. Hope you find ways of your own that you will share with others. In a world where the single person seems to be inadequate to the mighty tasks ahead, if we all work toward the common goal, maybe just maybe, our grandchildren and great grandchildren won't have to pay quite so high a price for the 'convenience' of plastic packaging and products.

Just thought I would pass this on this morning. Something most of us who are more fortunate in our circumstances don't realize.

Please donate your unwanted clothes to nursing homes before you donate to goodwill. Some folks don’t have family members who provide clothing and they dont have money or physical abilities to buy their own clothing. It’s so sad helping dress people in the same 3 outfits that have rips and holes, missing buttons in them. send them to some one who could use them and not have to wear the same things over and over until they are worn. COPY AND PASTE. KEEP IT GOING❣️🤲🏻☺️

🫀I have had many CPR classes over the last few years but was never told this…..
Have you ever thought about it
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message. 🫀

Good news!

Trenval Business Development Corporation came through for the MILL with a grant of $7,000 to help fund our transition to a new Library Lending System tailored specifically to the MILL's requirements. This new software package is a huge step forward for the MILL. It will enable loans to be placed directly from ALL our Partner Library locations and really simplify the massive amount of work required to maintain our Patron records, track the MILL's inventory, and operate our instrument lending program.

Many, many thanks to our new friends at Trenval. We even got a pic where everybody has their eyes open...! Front Row L-R: Barb Wilson (Trenval), Jim McKay (MILL), Bev Woods (Trenval), Amber Darling (Trenval), James Reid (MILL); Back Row L-R: Sean McKillop (Trenval), Jamie O’Shea (Trenval), Angus Ryer (MILL), Dan Guerreiro (MILL), Julie Brogee (MILL).
