Great article. Didn't know the Canadian wildfires and train derailment accident in February were related to plastic? It's worth reading this op-ed in @Newsweek by @enckj .
1/New op-ed by our pres, @enckj in @Newsweek today. "Plastic has been creeping into our food, our air, our water, and our bodies for decades now, with most people blissfully unaware of its presence and health risks." newsweek.com/plastics-health…
They rarely refuse when I ask if I can use my own plate & utensils to reduce trash.
"Do you mind if I use my own plate so I don't need to create #plasticwaste & destroy our environment?"How can they say no to that?

Ithaca College students (NY) created this petition to ask the school to reconsider the installation of artificial turf. Artificial turf sheds microplastics & poisonous forever chemicals into the environment. Check it out and sign if you like. #twithaca

It's tricky to avoid plastic with take out food, but it can be done. I explained that I didn't want to create any more garbage than necessary & especially plastic & the kind restaurateur made it happen. 🙂🙏

#USA We're combating folks that want to disenfranchise minorities & large groups of people so their vote won't count, a woman's right to choose & folks that would rather seek financial profit than save a planet facing environmental collapse.
