I can do what I can to help make sure wealth is distributed in a way which benefits those who hunger (charity in the form of time and money to soup kitchens, youth...

    Food Waste

    I know I could be wrong, but I would think you need some stuff in the landfill to rot. No rot means everything else can take longer to break down, no? I don't torture myself if I have to throw food away. I don't like to of course, because it wastes my money, and I like my money, but, I don't...

    Living Wage Policies

    I was listening to Rutherford this morning while painting in my bathroom, and they were discussing the proposed living wage policies about to be voted on in Calgary on the 9th. At face value, it seemed like a good idea to me. Currently in some of Alberta's cities you simply can't afford...

    Ephebiphobia, a human syndrome?

    The idea of ephebiphobia came up in discussion with my husband today, sparked by the song title 'teenage dirtbag' (which, I know, has nothing to do with the actual issue of ephebiophobia, but the term sparked a discussion in me nonetheless). I posed the question, 'to what degree are teens...
