In places throughout the U.S. where plastic bags require a fee or have been banned, fewer bags end up at the water’s edge, according to research published Thursday in Science.
Banning Plastic Bags Works to Limit Shoreline Litter, Study Finds
Using crowdsourced data from shore cleanups, researchers found that areas that enacted plastic bag bans or fees had fewer bags littering their lakes, rivers and beaches than those without them.

I used a new screenshot app and wasn't sure how it worked, so I now have a desktop with *many* copies of my desktop and now I feel like I am in a house of mirrors.

I married in to a large family that has mandatory Thanksgiving and doesn’t do jellied cranberry sauce. Another partnered-in person requested it this year and there was much confusion about how to get it out of the can. For once, I had skills to lend to the endeavor.
all hail the thanksgiving tube
