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.
This Climate Can Do article was written by Jacquelyn Rose.

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

Shop Small
There are oh-so-many benefits to shopping the small local stores in your neighborhood (and even on-line):
- Your opinion matters. Small businesses provide greater access to product diversity. If they don't have what you want, ask for it. My questions are always along the line of: "Can you tell me where this was made, who made it and how the materials were sourced?"
- Small Businesses give back to the local economy. According to Civic Economics, “on average, 48% of each purchase at local independent businesses is recirculated locally, compared to less than 14% of purchases at chain stores.”
- Personalized attention (who doesn't like being pampered?)
- Small Businesses give back to local organizations. They sponsor the kids sports teams, the school plays and everything in between.
| |
And finally, it feels good to shop locally! You're making dreams come true.
