By Trane Francks on June 18, 2014   /   Environment, Events, Society   /   2 Comments

Our freedoms are at risk. Over the last 20 years, there has been a systematic reduction of our ability to peacefully express our concerns about certain topics. This is not a 3rd-World issue. This is not a North American issue. It isn’t an Asian or even Russian

Fighting To Keep You In The Dark

By Trane Francks on March 4, 2014   /   Environment, Health, Nutrition, Society   /   Leave a comment

I’m making this article’s graphic a little bit larger than usual because of how important I consider it to be.  I think it’s important not so much because of who was supporting Washington Initiative 522 (2012), but rather who wasn’t supporting it. If you want a real

By Trane Francks on December 29, 2013   /   Environment   /   Leave a comment

“WOW! You are really unintelligent. When the cancer rates start skyrocketing in a few years (which they have already started to do in the U.S. right after the Fukushima disaster) and the entire Pacific Ocean is radiated (which will be in less than 6 year) maybe you

Contributions to Global Warming

By Trane Francks on July 26, 2013   /   Environment, Society   /   Leave a comment

Now that the rainy season has ended in Japan, the parks-and-rec types are out in force to clear away the abundance of overgrowth along rivers and pathways. For some, this represents the equivalent of spring cleaning. For me, however, it points to another symptom of our disconnection

Getting Away From It All

By Trane Francks on July 21, 2013   /   Environment, Health   /   Leave a comment

Better Living Through Chemistry

By Trane Francks on July 7, 2013   /   Environment, Health, Nutrition   /   Leave a comment
