Every time we bake bread with yeast or baking powder, open a bottle of champagne, fizzy pop, can of coffee, we release more carbon dioxide.

Dr. Serge Lecomte graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in linguistics. He taught Russian and Spanish at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He has lived in the Homer area since 1999 and writes plays and novels for fun.
