Hey, folks. Tough times out there. One way to take the edge off is to get educated on topics where you can make a difference.

Here's one solution: Missouri River Bird Observatory is hosting a series of free informational talks about the plastics problem. No sales or anything like that, it's part of their public education and outreach. (You don't have to be from MO) Check it out if you're so inclined. Boosts welcomed to help out this awesome nonprofit.

Here's an example of misuse of a finite resource by putting it in a #disposable product. It's a lollipop that plays music. This might give an hour of entertainment if that. Then it's straight in the bin.

That's more plastic and metal waste leaching into the #environment which needs to be put to better, longer-term use.

—the only one of its kind in Germany—over a period of 16 months. Extrapolation models based on the observed volume indicate that roughly 53,000 items of macro waste debris float past Cologne on the Rhine river every day.

OK, this is a long (36 min) but really good Hank Green video. All about why we are farked in terms of recycling plastic. If you can stand his hyper-kinetic delivery (he's the ONLY YouTuber I slow down the playback speed on), well worth a watch

If you don't like #Trump's actions against #Venezuela, or #Putin's against #Ukraine, or #Canada's #TarSands, or #Sudan #Saudi #UAE #NigerDelta #IslamicState etc. follow the money. All of those are driven by #oil and #gas, and any money we pay for oil and gas support those conflicts and the states that back them. That means #plastic, your #car, your cheap flights, your oil/gas #heating, non-#organic farming, etc. etc. There are alternatives, we have a choice to not support any of this.
