DO JUST ONE THING

• Have you heard of “wildlife lights” that are designed for outdoor illumination? These ecofriendly LED lights are meant to help humans with visibility and safety at night, but they’re virtually invisible to wildlife. This means animals like birds, turtles and frogs aren’t drawn to the light, which can often be near buildings, parking lots, sidewalks and roadways. By installing wildlife lights instead of conventional outdoor lighting, you help protect wild animals from getting in harm’s way.

SENSE & SENSITIVITY

DEAR HARRIETTE: Is it OK not to invite my foster parents to my wedding because my biological parents think they’re racist? My biological parents, who are Black, feel uncomfortable around my white foster parents due to some comments they made before that seemed racially insensitive. Now I’m stuck between keeping the peace and addressing these concerns. I care about both sets of parents, but I don’t want any tension at my wedding. Currently, I’m leaning more on favoring my bio-parents because they missed a lot in my life. They were a young couple who decided to place me in an orphanage because they couldn’t raise a kid at that time.
