One Green Planet

A dog now named Fred was found on June 23, 2026, along Route 60 in New Kent County, Virginia, in heartbreaking condition. A veterinarian determined that both of his front legs had been broken roughly two months earlier and left untreated, and X-rays revealed 10 to 20 buckshot pellets embedded throughout his body. Despite everything he had endured, the New Kent Sheriff’s Office says Fred has remained sweet and trusting.

Every year, a new “it” food emerges. People make all kinds of innovative recipes with the trendy food until the next one arrives. Right now, that food is cauliflower. That’s huge considering cauliflower was the vegetable everyone considered boring, bland, and blah. Now the wallflower is the belle of the ball.

Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding ingredient that helps skin hold onto water, so it looks plumper, smoother, and more hydrated. Our bodies make it naturally, but production drops as we age — which is why so many serums now add a synthesized version. Depending on how it’s made, hyaluronic acid may or may not be vegan. The most common form is produced by fermenting a plant source like wheat, but some versions rely on animal-derived material — so vegan sourcing is worth checking.

Red light therapy has moved from the dermatologist’s office to the bathroom shelf, and for good reason — it’s a non-invasive, drug-free way to work on the look of fine lines, tone, and firmness at home. A quick, honest heads-up before you shop: not all LED masks are created equal. The ones worth buying are FDA-cleared and backed by real clinical testing; plenty of cheap look-alikes aren’t, and there’s no reliable way to know whether they deliver the right wavelengths at all.

When breakfast feels like it was hours and hours ago and lunch seems forever away, we look for snacks to hold us over. Or maybe we need something to give us the energy to make it until dinner. Of course, after dinner, it’s fun to munch on something yummy while we watch our favorite TV shows. Snacks are an important part of our diets and our days. But looking for snacks in vending machines or in the snack aisle of the supermarket can lead to some bad choices.

What investigators found on a Florida farm reads like a horror film. Acting on an anonymous tip in June 2026, Martin County deputies discovered the decomposed remains of a dog in a makeshift, tarp-covered enclosure — its food and water bowls filled with sand as though they hadn’t been used in ages, and its gate tied shut with rope. Nearby, a second dog, a severely emaciated Anatolian shepherd, had collapsed under a tractor, so thin he initially appeared to be dead.
