Make your camping trip more sustainable by swapping out this one item

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:10:37 GMT

California has a pretty efficient system set up to handle propane tanks used for barbecues. People buy a tank at full price, empty it cooking up great meals, then bring that tank back to one of thousands of retailers, where they can swap it out at half-price for one that’s already been refilled by trained professionals.That system keeps most BBQ propane tanks out of landfills, while reducing the number of tanks that need to be manufactured. It also brings the cost down for consumers, and it makes propane use safe and convenient for all parties.But we have yet to set up a similarly effective system for the estimated 4 to 7 million one-pound propane cylinders that Californians use with camping stoves each year, or for the untold numbers of smaller isobutane canisters paired with backpacking stoves. Those tanks often aren’t re-used, and they often do become hazardous waste.To date, efforts to stem the tide of single-use fuel canisters, both through legislation and by setting up reuse p...

(KRON) -- Thieves, who police say stole 45 pairs of brand name sunglasses, were arrested in San Pablo Friday morning. According to a social post from the San Pablo Police Department, an officer stopped a wanted vehicle, and located sunglasses along with the occupants of the car. Menacing band of car burglars caught on camera roaming Antioch neighborhood All the stolen shades still had their price tags, police said. Each pair retailed for $300 or more, meaning the estimated value of the stolen sunglasses was over $13,000. The car's occupants were booked into county jail and charged with possession of stolen property."With the heat rising this week, it is no surprise that sunglasses would be a hot commodity," San Pablo PD said in their post. "Hopefully they have a brighter future ahead of them."

UPS CEO’s Political Donations Boost Anti-Union Republicans

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:10:37 GMT

In a 2021 interview with the New York Times, UPS CEO Carol Tomé made a striking claim: She no longer believed in the godfather of trickle-down economics. “For a long time, I was sort of a Milton Friedman person: ‘The purpose of the corporation is to create value for the shareholder.’ I’m very much now of the belief that if you take care of the needs of all stakeholders, you actually create value for the share price. And taking care of the needs of all the stakeholders includes your employees.”The change of heart was a remarkable admission for a C-suite executive who had paid little public attention to the question of workers rights during her two decades as a leader in corporate America. Yet even as Tomé positioned herself as a friend of the workers who make her company run, she continued to donate money to national Republicans set on gutting worker power and maximizing salaries for America’s top earners.Tomé has donated over $70,000 in the past decade to national politicians and co...
