It's time to celebrate this major win, but our work is far from over. The #CutOutCutlery link is still live and it is time to apply the pressure to Caviar and DoorDash to #CutOutCutlery.
Can you resend emails to DoorDash, Caviar & Chipotle?
We felt inspired to share this. It's a reminder that we must all work together on a myriad of issues to protect our planet. It's not an either/or conversation.
Plastic Is Falling From the Sky. But Where’s It Coming From?
At any given time, 1,100 tons of microplastic are floating over the western US. New modeling shows the surprising sources of the nefarious pollutant.
"But where is it all coming from? You’d think it’d be arising from nearby cities—western metropolises like Denver and Salt Lake City. But new modeling published yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that 84 percent of airborne microplastics in the American West actually comes from the roads outside of major cities. Another 11 percent could be blowing all the way in from the ocean. (The researchers who built the model reckon that microplastic particles stay airborne for nearly a week, and that’s more than enough time for them to cross continents and oceans.)"
