Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.

Excess carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel use is shrinking the upper atmosphere. New research found that if emissions don’t fall, only about half of its current capacity for satellites could operate safely by this century’s end.

George Floyd should be alive today.
He should be raising his daughter, living his life.
5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags.
His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.”
Let’s stop failing her, and him.
Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
