Summer Hangs in

apparently, our weather is static b/c of Florence pushing N

At first, our high pressure area kept Florence S and E but now Florence is coming N and leaving the hotter, more humid air over top of us.
All this will change by Tues late as Florence pushes off to the E just under Lakes Erie and  Ontario.

Recycling woes and the real info. In Ontario, almost every retailer charges 5 cents for a plastic bag. Thus, for the environment we use cloth or heavy plastic bags that are then re-used. This effort to save the environment. Hopefully, we reduce our carbon footprint or usage.
3 years ago in England, a study was run to see exactly how the carbon footprint varied between single ( or limited use ) plastic bags, paper bags and cloth re-useable bags.
Oops ! After all avenues of growth, creation and final ending were evaluated paper bags needed to be re-used 3 times before equaling the carbon usage of plastic ( single use ) bags and cloth bags needed 131 uses to equal the carbon footprint of plastic.
