It’s the only carbon tax on the ballot in the country. So why are some environmental groups fighting it?
About 50 million children — or roughly one in every 45 kids in the world — are currently displaced globally, many of whom have been uprooted by violent wars and persecution.

Still other children barely make it out alive, too young to understand the machinations of war, but now too aware to escape trauma.
Have a great weekend!
