Labor Day – Health4earth

Or September Scaries on Lake Superior

I love summer and the long rich days, and the summer days get even longer as you go north! Holding onto summer daylight and comfortable temperatures fades as the calendar turns to fall. Already the nesting birds have migrated south, and I miss their joy. I also miss the magnificent butterflies, and there was a summer shortage this year that concerns and scares me.

Summer brings joy, and the nature of that joy diminishes with the fading daylight. Below are some of the last plants standing:

Summer could be defined by comfortable days, and Lake Superior wind pattern dominance which shifts from hot and humid to breezy and cool. This [ast summer was weird how much moisture was in the air. Many mornings it was hazy looking across the big lake. Warmer air holds more moisture, and it was a humid summer. We have just lived through the most humid summer on record. Read about it here.

We value our Employees

The following is written on my yogurt container, ” We value our employees. We are a family-run company in California with just over 50 employees. We pay a competitive wage to all our staff members and provide an excellent benefit package, including full health care insurance for all who work here, and their families.” On Labor Day let’s praise companies that value their employees!!

According to NPR 1 in 4 American workers makes less that $10.00 an hour. We give these “job creators” so much political power. Can we please have “Living Wage Job Creators” and job creators that understand we need to take care of our earth for the future generations!!

As consumers we must reward the companies that pay a living wage and offer affordable health care to their employees!! Happy Labor Day!!
