The people of Punjab need to be complimented for winning a clear majority to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the recent Assembly elections. Prime Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has a golden opportunity to get Punjab back on track of achieving higher sustainable growth, lower corruption and liberation from the drug mafia. Only then can Punjab regain its happiness and prosperity.  Mann has pledged to root out corruption in government offices, but so far has not announced a plan for agriculture, a leading industry, initiating Punjab’s Green Revolution. But the state was late. We try to reveal the main problems in Punjab agriculture, the factors that brought it to its current state and what potential solutions could be to ensure sustainable prosperity.  The biggest problem facing Punjab agriculture is the rapidly depleting and deteriorating quality of groundwater resources.

Berrien County residents have an extra chance to get unneeded electronic items recycled for free Wednesday. Berrien County Parks Director Jill Adams tells WSJM News Green Earth Electronics Recycling in St. Joseph will stay open later than usual so people can drop off items. They’ll take anything with a cord or that runs on batteries. Adams says it’s better to dispose of those items in this way for multiple reasons.  “All electronics contain things like plastic, metal, glass, and other recyclable materials, but some electronics also contain hazardous components such as lead or mercury,” Adams said. “So keeping these materials out of the regular waste stream is good for environmental health as well as public health.”
