This video of an orangutan climbing a tree and through the bush, trying to escape a clear-cutting crane, demonstrates the heartbreaking reality of palm oil production. It is difficult to watch, knowing that so many of us are contributing to this habitat loss, but I strongly encourage you to watch it.

CANTON The village board of trustees recently approved several proposals from National Grid to convert its various municipal lighting systems over to LED lighting which is expected to save more than $15,000 annually for the municipality.
Systems at the municipal building, DPW building, recreation pavilion, golf course clubhouse and the wastewater treatment building were each audited by National Grid for conversion projects, said Village Mayor Mike Dalton.
“The project at each location changes existing fluorescent lighting to LED lighting. Each location has unique requirements for lighting so the proposals break down by building. The Village can pick and choose which proposal (s) to accept, however all of them will save us money annually,” Dalton told North Country This Week.
