My wife, Connie, and I are on vacation! We get to spend several weeks in a warmer location than Maine, and we appreciate that very much. But technically, it is a work vacation because we both have jobs that require us to stay in touch even when we are on vacation. But here’s the thing: […]

The Recycle Bin: Life cycle analysis
When my family buys vegetables, either at Hannaford, the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust’s farmers market or Six Rivers Farm stand, we think about where, how and when the produce was grown. Were the grapes flown in from Peru or grown in New England where a truck used less fuel to get them to a distribution center […]
