But that doesn’t mean you can’t get ready and be prepared for when it inevitably shows up, writes Assistant Vice President of Mentoring and Alumni Personal and Career Development Allison McWilliams.

Whistleblower: Enviva claim of ‘being good for the planet… all nonsense’
Enviva is the largest maker of wood pellets burned for energy in the world. The company, has from its inception, touted its green credentials. It says it doesn’t use big, whole trees, but only uses wood waste, “tops, limbs, thinnings, and/or low-value smaller trees” in the production of woody biomass burned in former coal power plants in the U.K., EU and Asia. A major recent scientific study finds that Enviva is contributing to deforestation in the U.S. Southeast, writes journalism professor Justin Catanoso, a regular contributor to Mongabay.

Where do Americans draw lines when it comes to guns and teens?
“Generally, until the rise of the era of the mass shooter with an AR-style rifle, people weren’t really concerned about 18-year-olds owning long guns,” said sociologist David Yamane, author of “Concealed Carry Revolution.” “That distinction … that handguns are really for violence and long guns are for sport – I think that’s broken down in the minds of a lot of people.”
