The Cannoli Battle of Boston
The North End of Boston is famous for its cannoli, but which one has the BEST (according to me)?\. There’s an ongoing debate among Boston locals and tourists alike: who has the best cannoli in Boston? Mike’s Pastry? Modern Pastry? Bova’s Bakery? As a native of the greater Boston area, I’ve been to all three bakeries too many times to count! As a kid, I never really thought to compare all three bakeries in respect to one popular dessert—the cannoli. Today, I’ll break down each bakery’s cannolis based on creativity of flavors, presentation and, of course, taste.

Sustainability in the Clothing Industry
“Fast fashion” is a phrase seen throughout Pingree school and beyond to describe our fashion industry. There are posters lining the walls near the Vault at Pingree, projects in classes, and multiple articles explaining the dangers. Fast fashion is a manufacturing process that decreases the quality of the items to increase supply. The selling technique was developed in order to ensure that the consumers buy the products and there is an increase in revenue. The fashion industry must rely on predictions for seasonal trends to maximize profit, but with fast-fashion, the industry does not have to predict these trends, they can change the inventory during the same season to keep up with the trends. With the quick shift in the selections, Audrey Standton, the sustainability editor for The Good Trade, wrote, “Corners are inevitably cut.” On the contrary, “greenwashing” is another term on the rise. The definition of greenwashing is when companies, specifically clothing brands, advertise as an eco-friendly alternative to fast-fashion when there is evidence that the company still conforms with the fast-fashion selling techniques. While there are concerns about sustainability, fashion is still a prominent component to everyday life and culture.
