I Want a Budget for RSN, *&^%$#@!
This is a great organization, with a great community. We are perpetually stymied by the lack of adequate funding. I have to fix that. It's not a job I relish, it is a job that I accept.
Help us do this. Get behind this vital project.
In peace and solidarity.

A DISDAIN FOR CONTRIBUTION: We are still struggling with a readership that values what we do but is, on the whole, looking for any way to avoid contributing financially. No it's not the ten dollars a month. That is for most of our readers easily manageable. Donations will grudgingly be given if the situation appears dire, but only then and reluctantly so. Often with significant resentment. Our overall rate of participation in the funding drives remains illogically poor, based on the enthusiasm the readers show for the content and issues. People seem to accept paying for telecommunication services, internet services and cable entertainment services. Not yet for a news agency that serves the public good. The future of Reader Supported News depends on our ability to change that. We will try. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Remote Island Chain Has Few People - but Hundreds of Millions of Pieces of Plastic
Christopher Joyce, NPR
Joyce writes: "When a marine biologist from Australia traveled to a remote string of islands in the Indian Ocean to see how much plastic waste had washed up on the beaches, here's just part of what she found: '373,000 toothbrushes and around 975,000 shoes, largely flip-flops,' says Jennifer Lavers of the University of Tasmania in Australia."
