Climate Can Do:

Drinking Water Without Nano-plastics

Plastic water bottles are filled with tiny bits of plastic called nano-plastics. These are bits of plastic that have broken down so small we cannot see them. But they are there, according to studies by Consumer Reports, Columbia University, University of Missouri, and many others.

The best way to avoid drinking nano-plastics is to use a metal or glass reusable bottle and fill it with filtered tap water.

Reusable water bottles keep you healthy and decrease one major source of nano-plastics in our environment: the disposable water bottle.

Dr. Chris Jones: Mistakes

"We all make mistakes! Anyone who tells you different is being less than honest with you.

The important thing is what we do once we make one. I talk about three options we have and more in the video.

Remember that the greater our goal the less there will be a roadmap as to how to be successful. Don't fear mistakes. Instead lean into them."

It's all about reflection and action. Podcast about Wishful Thinking with Dr. Christopher Jones
