Volume 242, July 12, 2023

With heavy weather sailing ahead, the time to act for climate change is running out, and the seas are rising.

In windy weather, with only the stormsail set, we make headway to restore natural systems.  

The decks are awash with wave-thrown ocean water—rocking-horse forward motion to address climate change. 

Deluge, draughts, and other extreme weather events call out the best in people to lend a hand.  


Pulling together, we prevail.


For fair winds and better weather,

Modest donations add up big time


Three ways to give.

1.  Make a one-time donation.

2.  Giving a designated amount monthly or quarterly.

3.  ORI’s Round-up Change Program


I prefer the Round-up Program. If I buy a latte for $4.40, $4.40 goes from my credit card to buy the coffee, and 60 cents is held for ORI. At the end of the month, if $9.99 has accumulated, it is gifted to ORI. If less than that, no gift is made, and the next month starts at zero. You may set the monthly maximum to $10 or higher. I prefer this to monthly pledging because when I’m spending, ORI benefits. When I’m saving, for example, packing lunch and coffee, I give less to ORI.


Check out how you can make a difference going the distance; modestly
