In words and photos, rural Alaska residents reflect on their village's sustainable practices
GALENA, Alaska (AP) — In rural central Alaska, a village is in the midst of a clean energy transformation that locals say will boost savings, build resilience and provide jobs. Galena wants to curb its reliance on expensive, imported diesel that when burned is one of the largest contributors of planet-warming emissions. Nearly 10 years ago, the village started harvesting trees to fuel a biomass plant to heat its bustling boarding school, offsetting about 100,000 gallons (about 380,000 liters) of diesel annually. The local Louden Tribe is encouraging people to collect floating logs from the Yukon River that can be used for firewood and siding for the sustainable homes they're building for members. And soon a 1.5-megawatt solar farm will allow the city to turn off its diesel engines and run on 100% clean, renewable energy on sunny summer days, with excess power stored in a battery for later use. That will save another 100,000 gallons annually. The Associated Press talked to residents about their village's sustainable and renewable energy projects. Here are some of their reflections: Tim Kalke, 46, general manager at Sustainable Energy for Galena Alaska 'We're just ensuring that our critical infrastructure has redundancy and protection built into it, so that every time there's a power outage, it doesn't turn into tens of thousands of dollars in repairs in its wake.' Jade Thurmond, 20, a Galena resident working on the solar farm 'I'm really excited for when we are using it and how we'll reduce our diesel usage. I think that would be pretty fun to see and to hear about in the future, and see what comes along.' Jake Pogrebinsky, 54, a sawmill operator for Louden Tribe and driftwood collector 'Instead of having to make money to pay for barge freight or to buy materials, you are spending your time out on the river. For a young person, as a lesson, as a skill-building activity, it cannot possibly be compared to.' Brad Scotton, 54, a Galena city council member 'What (the biomass plant) has done is stabilize (costs), and it's created a local workforce and a job base that we never used to have. So it's keeping the money that used to go outside within the community and providing pretty meaningful jobs for people.' Will Kramer, 29, an applied mechanics instructor at Galena Interior Learning Academy 'We are just at the whim of whatever somebody else that wants to make all the money off of us is saying and doing. And being able to install and integrate these systems in these communities, it kind of gives the freedom back to the communities.' Phil Koontz, 74 , a retired environmental engineer for the Louden Tribe 'It would be very hard to live here without outside resources. I see fuel as probably the main outside resource that we use. It provides most of the electricity, it provides most of the transportation, it provides most of the heat. I don't know what we're going to do without those things. One of the solutions I see is efficiency, reducing the need for energy to produce the same result, better insulated houses, better vehicles, better energy sources.' Aaren Sommer, 19, a Galena resident helping install the solar array The array is 'going to reduce the diesel usage a whole bunch over at the power plant, which is going to help us out.' ___ Pineda reported from Los Angeles. ___ The Associated Press receives support from the Walton Family Foundation for coverage of water and environmental policy.

This Town Started Charging for Trash by the Bag. Here's What Happened
Until a few years ago, the town of Plympton, Massachusetts, was quite literally throwing away money. People were producing so much trash that it was threatening to put the municipal transfer station out of business. Under the town's system, residents would buy a $240 sticker for their cars that allowed them yearlong access to the dump, where they could dispose of as much garbage as they wished. But the sheer volume, combined with climbing landfill fees, meant that this service was costing the local government nearly twice what it was taking in. One solution was to double the price of dump stickers, but that would hit Plympton's low-income population particularly hard and wouldn't have been fair to smaller households—like seniors—that produced minimal trash. So, the town of roughly 3,000 decided to try something that it had seen other municipalities do: charge per bag. 'It virtually cut waste in half,' Rob Firlotte, Plympton's highway superintendent, said of the results. In 2022, before the new system, the town threw away 640 tons of trash. Last year, that figure was 335 tons. 'It pushed people toward recycling more, because it saves them money,' Firlotte said. Stickers now sell for $65 each, and residents purchase specially marked garbage bags priced by the size ($1.25 for a 15-gallon bag, $2.50 for 33 gallons). That means a household producing one small bag of trash each week would spend $130 per year—$350 less than they would have if Plympton had decided to double its sticker prices instead. The town says it has cut its trash disposal bill roughly in half, saving about $65,000 a year. 'We went from a deficit to breaking even,' said Firlotte. Plympton isn't alone in its success. According to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, nearly half of the state's 351 municipalities have adopted a version of this 'pay-as-you-throw,' or PAYT, model. In 2023, places with PAYT collected roughly one-third less waste, or some 513 pounds per household. A 2018 study in New Hampshire detailed similarly stark differences. 'We found that demand for waste disposal was really responsive to price,' said John Halstead, an author of that research and a retired professor of environmental economics at the University of New Hampshire. 'If you raise the price of trash, people are going to find ways to not put as much out at the curb.' Many other countries have utilized pay-by-volume trash collection for decades. There are limited examples in the U.S. dating to the early 20th century, said Lisa Skumatz, president of Skumatz Economic Research Associates, an energy, recycling, and sustainability consultancy. But contemporary implementation in America really began to surge in the 1980s through the early 2000s, and has seen steady growth since then. While there's no recent national data on PAYT, Skumatz estimates that about a quarter of people in the United States have access to some sort of volume-based program. That includes not only branded-bag models like Plympton's, but programs with prices based on the size of the bins (as in Denver and Seattle), or in which people tag every bag of garbage (as is the case with at least one hauler in Burlington, Vermont). All Oregon communities have access to some iteration of PAYT, and the Natural Resources Defense Council has a model bill that others can use if they are considering giving it a try. One of the keys to success is making sure the alternatives to the landfill—like recycling and compost—are as robust as possible. 'You've really got to be able to make it easy for households to reduce their trash,' said Linda Breggin, a senior attorney at the nonprofit Environmental Law Institute. Aside from saving money, she also noted that producing less trash can mean fewer greenhouse gas emissions from landfills or incinerators and can boost the supply of recycled material, which then avoids virgin material being used. 'You get a lot of co-benefits,' she said. Still, change often meets resistance. Haulers, for example, often prefer the simplicity of bulk trash when making hundreds of curbside stops (they also frequently own the landfills that charge by the ton). For residents, a trash fee that may have been baked into their taxes could suddenly become visible. 'People have been used to all-you-can-eat trash for decades,' said Skumatz. '[But] all-you-can-eat buffets lead to a lot of waste and a lot of bad behaviors.' There are three major ways to produce less trash—reducing waste in the first place, and diverting it to recycling or compost instead of a landfill. Paying by the bag encourages all of those alternatives and also helps reach beyond the core cohort of diehards, or environmentalists, who already reduce, reuse, and recycle. 'You have to get the next group and the next group,' said Skumatz. 'A lot of those people respond to financial incentives.' A primary argument among pay-as-you-throw skeptics is that it could lead to illegal dumping. But Skumatz said that of the roughly 1,000 towns she surveyed, only a quarter saw any uptick in that and, even then, it only lasted about three months. Although it's harder to tell whether PAYT leads people to clutter the recycling stream with garbage, it's not a problem she's heard many complaints about. 'After six months, people tend to really prefer PAYT over the previous system,' she said. 'But it's really hard for a lot of communities to get through that.' Firlotte said that Plympton saw some grumbling at first, but not a ton given that the alternative was doubling the sticker price. Senior citizens have been particularly excited about the new approach, given how little trash they tend to produce. From the beginning, officials were also diligent about discouraging illegal dumping or dirtying the recycling stream, so Firlotte said cheating has been a virtual nonissue. 'For us,' he said, 'it worked out great.'

4 Questions To Gauge If Marriage Has Changed Your Love, By A Psychologist
Does your partner still care for you in your marriage the way they did before? If they do, you'll ... More know it from their actions, not just their words. Marriage comes with its own set of responsibilities, whether it's taking care of your finances, children, in-laws or each other. This lifelong commitment is also meant to bring you closer and deepen the bond you share — something that is easy to overlook when life gets in the way. With time, you may have stopped leaving them little notes on their lunch boxes, or perhaps they stopped calling you after a big presentation to see how it went. These acts, or lack thereof, are likely not intentional. They may simply be the result of busy schedules, but at times, they can indicate that a couple is starting to emotionally 'check out' or take each other for granted. If you're wondering whether your partner is still emotionally invested, here are four subtle but powerful questions you can ask yourself to gauge their level of interest and engagement in the relationship. 1. Do They Still Ask Questions About You? We underestimate the power of curiosity in relationships. It's easy to fall into the trap of surface-level check-ins like 'How are you?' or 'Did you pay the bill?' or 'What's for dinner?' But to connect, you need to dig deeper. For instance, if you say that you dislike a certain book, do they listen and acknowledge what you say? Do they ask specific questions about what you didn't like? To be curious is to show interest, and curiosity goes both ways. It's also important not to assume your partner has the same beliefs they had when they initially met you. Their thoughts and feelings may have changed, and you both must explore these changes in each other consistently. A loving partner remains interested in you, not just what you do. In fact, not being inquisitive may lead you to fall prey to the 'parallel lives' trap, where you may live together but no longer feel the intimacy you initially felt as a couple. This may be because the rituals you shared as a couple early on, like inside jokes and appreciation for similar activities, may have faded. Try to ask each other at least five genuine questions weekly that go beyond logistics. This shows that you are interested in one another, are emotionally present and have the desire to stay connected. Ask yourself: If you sense that they may not have the answers, it's time for you to initiate deeper check-ins with each other. 2. Do They Still Make An Effort To Plan Dates Or Shared Activities? When you and your partner actively make plans for dates, it shows that you both care and approach relationship goals similarly. Being proactive about planning things together helps keep the spark alive. And, you don't have to wait until the relationship starts to feel boring or routine. You can, in fact, plan for growth and excitement in a relationship. It doesn't have to be spontaneous. Planning can actually set the stage for meaningful, fun experiences. And those who are naturally motivated to make their relationships better tend to be more thoughtful about it. This is backed by research. A 2021 study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that planning exciting dates can build closeness. Such dates also help you grow together. Researchers highlight the importance of intention here. People who are more focused on building positive relationships tend to plan better dates. Such people think about fun things to do together ahead of time and constantly look for ways to deepen their bond precisely because they want more meaningful experiences with their partner. 3. Do They Share The Load In The Life You've Built Together? In many marriages, one partner (often women) takes on the bulk of caregiving. But emotional investment is also reflected in practical support. Research published in The American Journal of Family Therapy examined how partners share responsibilities. Here's what some of the participants said: 'So, it's really 50/50 because, to be honest, I've seen a lot of relationships where the woman is working and the man is working too, but the woman is still pulling 85% and that's not fair,' said a male participant. 'We both tend to be giver-type people and that helps a lot when we're having a struggling kind of day or troubles with kids and family. So, I think we both try to go the extra mile and pay attention to who's struggling that day to pick up the slack,' another female participant adds. These responses show how both partners try to look after each other, when their current system of sharing responsibilities fails, instead of following strict rules. They should be willing to renegotiate their division of labor, depending on what the circumstances are. Many couples discussed generosity as one of their core relationship values, and giving selflessly to their partners and offering assistance to each other when feeling out of balance. 'Just last week I said, 'I've got something coming up and I'm stressing about it, I don't know how to deal with it.' And he's like, 'Okay, what can I do to help you out? Do you need time? Do you need time to work by yourself? Do I need to take the kids, what do I need to do?'' one female participant recalls. This is a great way to learn how giving your partner is. Don't buy into gender myths and stereotypes to rationalize unfair divisions, for e.g., 'She does inside chores, he handles the outside,' or 'He manages money, she takes care of the kids.' Ask yourself specific questions: Who plans the meals? Who takes the kids to the doctor? Is there equal emotional attunement? Does anything need to be changed or is this system working for us? Your partner's willingness to communicate and cooperate reflects how well they share responsibilities and allow you to take breaks. When they take initiative, it shows they value your time and peace of mind. It means they care for you as a person, not just for the role you play or the things you do for them. 4. Do They Take Care of You When You're Unwell Physically Or Emotionally? It seems obvious that your partner should be there for you, 'in sickness and in health,' but many people report feeling neglected when they're sick, anxious or overwhelmed. Ask yourself: How present is your partner when you're too unwell to look after yourself? Do they care for you without you asking them or do they try to shift the responsibility onto others, perhaps your siblings or parents, so that they can get going with their lives? When partners are unwilling to be there for each other in times of sickness, it can create a rift in the relationship, and possibly even lead to divorce. In a 2015 study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, researchers tracked over 2700 marriages and found while only 6% of cases where a partner gets sick in a marriage ends in divorce, a wife's illness onset was associated with an elevated risk of divorce. If your partner checks out mentally when you fall sick, they may be viewing the situation mechanically — as a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible so that things can go back to normal. They may initially help out with enthusiasm, but eventually check out when they are unable to pick up the emotional load, conduct all the chores around the house or have their own needs met. True support is about them being proactive when you're unable to get out of bed. It's the ability to pick up on the slack and look after the children when you cannot. It's about being able to sit in silence with you when you're sick, or check in with you emotionally when you feel low. If your partner routinely dismisses your needs during vulnerable moments, it points to emotional detachment, burnout, a lack of empathy or a mix of these factors. It can be extremely hurtful to feel 'abandoned' in your time of need. How your partner treats you in your most vulnerable moments is one of the clearest indicators of how much they still love you. Love after marriage isn't just about saying 'I love you.' It's expressed in small, consistent actions that say, 'I see you, I care and I'm still choosing you.' One of the most destructive, and sometimes unintentional, issues that crop up in relationships is taking each other for granted. Your partner may think you know you're loved and stop caring for you or putting in effort the way they initially did. Or maybe, they've really stopped caring. How they respond to your emotional needs is a strong indicator of how loving and invested they still are. If they've stopped putting in effort, communicate with them about how you feel and what you need. It takes effort to make a relationship work. Both partners must show up for each other consistently and show gratitude when the other looks out for them. And if love no longer feels like a safe haven, it's an important sign to re-examine your connection. Are you able to thrive in your relationship?
