Did you ever use the phrase “I’ll have what she’s having?” I know I have and I haven’t even see all of the 1989 film When Harry Met Sally. But, I have certainly seen the famous scene over and over in clips through the years. Well, if you’ve ever used that phrase, you have Nora Ephron to thank for it.

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) offers me the best of both worlds. The NRDC, founded in 1970, uses “law, science and the support of 1.3 million members and online activists to protect the planet’s wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things.” It was named one of America’s 100 best charities by Worth Magazine and the Better Business Bureau says NRDC has a high standard for accountability and making good use of its … Continue reading →
