I’m working on the Annual Report, and can’t help but reflect on the great year this was for the Ikkatsu Project, with active programs in Washington and Alaska continuing on into 2019, as well as gearing up for the State-wide bag ban… more on that real soon.

But then – and I didn’t mean to do this – I thought about the significant ways that 2018 was not a good year for the environment in general, and the oceans in particular. I thought about this article from a few days ago, detailing the destruction that society is willing to accept in order to get more oil. And more. Until it’s all gone.

At least it’s Friday.
