Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Smoking positive
We all know the perfect hand-rolled cigarette is the apex of every smoker's artistic self-expression, but have you ever paused to consider the ecological downside? Your cigarette papers, made (as the name suggests) from ordinary paper, are helping to contribute to the razing of the rainforests. That's just not cool. And trees disappear all the faster every time you get the urge to puff on a really big cigarette - you know, one of those that take six papers to roll. Bad trip. So what can you do, apart from taking to chewing your tobacco like Josey Wales? The answer comes in the reassuringly apt form of Canuma hemp papers. They're made from 100 per cent hemp, an environmentally friendly and renewable crop grown with no herbicides or pesticides, which is currently making a green comeback as clothing material too. Canuma cost the same as your regular papers, and make a smoke that's just as tasty. So fire one up today, and go hug a tree to show you mean its friends no harm.
