IN THE April 21 ISSUE

FROM THE Going Green,
andHelping Hands,
andMargaret Mendel SECTIONS

by Margaret Mendel

The saying “One person’s garbage is another person’s treasure” was never more true than when it comes to upcycling. What is upcycling? It is the process of taking something that would ordinarily be thrown away and making it into something that has equal or greater use.

IN THE April 2 ISSUE

andHelping Hands,
andMargaret Mendel SECTIONS

by Margaret Mendel

Everyone seems to be “going green” these days. Even the United States Postal Services has taken major steps in reducing its carbon footprint.

andHelping Hands SECTIONS

This month I would like to take a different approach and present some ideas from a more ‘green’ perspective.

One Person Can Make A Difference!

IN THE July 10 ISSUE

FROM THE Anne Mohoff,
andGoing Green SECTIONS

by Anne Mohoff

Writing a monthly column has been a very exciting experience for me! I honestly don’t think there is a single person I’ve talked to in the past few months that I haven’t told about the online magazine and my articles.
