Small Things That Make a Big Difference

A Rocha USA / November 16, 2020

by Dr. Robert Sluka, Lead Scientist A Rocha USA's Marine Conservation Program & Florida Project Director   Nurdles – a fun word to say. These are plastic pellets and cleaning them up, though, is no fun. Imagine opening a bag of popcorn in your kitchen and it falls on the ground, …

At Home 2020, Mid-June

Grant Shellhouse / June 20, 2020

Recently, I had the chance to speak with my former teacher, Dr. Norman Wirzba, for an interview for Love Your Place’s upcoming book club on Living the Sabbath.
