It’s time to get ill
This is outstanding
This is indeed a gorgeous friend
Cats can have a little salami
We’ve done it, everybody! We’ve got an actual Cat Facts subscriber!
There’s at least some truth to it: a little disturbance (like wind or someone talking to them and riffling the leaves) helps plants grow stronger stems. I don’t know if there’s any data that differentiates between the effects of a fan or someone telling their plant that they’re loved and appreciated, but who cares? Your plants do better when you talk to them instead of leaving them standing still. 👍🏼
That’s really incredible stuff, especially given how not-fun that part of the game was 😅
No, I figured you did a different version of the song!

Please tell me they did “thorough”
It probably is still legal, but it’s not something I’ve looked for in like a decade. We do have products that use ground kernels, but those aren’t good to use on skin–the milling process doesn’t produce uniform particles and the pointy bits tend to compromise the barrier skin provides with very small tears.
I completely agree that plastic isn’t necessary for good soap, I just like it. I would definitely buy soap made with ecologically responsible plantstic at least once.
More importantly, using safer, scalable, completely biodegradable, algae-based polymers opens up so many more options for single-use products while simultaneously improving environmental quality. Farming algae and seaweeds removes a lot of contaminants from the ocean, like agricultural fertilizer and solid waste runoff. If we can truly scale up ocean farming responsibly, it’ll be its own “teal cascade” in which the benefits multiply with each step in the process.
Farming algae/seaweed doesn’t require the use of inorganic fertilizers when you grow them alongside shellfish like oysters, clams, and scallops
Increased protein production through shellfish reduces reliance on agricultural livestock for meat (which is incredibly damaging to the environment)
Algae/seaweed can replace fossil carbon in fertilizers and plastics, and reduces cattle methane emissions by 20% or more when added to their regular feed
At each step, we can take more and more petroleum out of the equation just by using methods that are better than sustainable, they actually remediate existing harm.
Plus, I get my scrubby soap back.
I cannot possibly be the only person who misses the soap with the plastic bits in it. If they could do that without the environmental damage (I’m looking at you, Great Lakes ecosystem), I’d be into it
This sounds so similar to today’s “new and improved” tritan water bottles that contain no bisphenol A.
