It’s Earth day, so here’s a 4.543 billion year bday to the apple of our eye, and our muse, Earth. Ya don’t look a day over... uh.. 4.542 billion years?
Anyway, here pictured is the Great Barrier Reef from the international space station. Quite a picturesque reason why a clean earth matters 💚
We’re curious, comment your favorite place on Earth you’ve ever been, or want to visit!

Our Neptune bio-based plastic packaging is derived from plant waste — something that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
We are defining a new standard: no industrial composting required, no microplastics left behind, and no layering with petroleum products. Happy earth month!

“Microplastics are raining down from the sky.⠀
Scientists discover large amounts of tiny plastic particles falling out of the air in a remote mountain location.”⠀
⠀
⠀
“Microplastics are very small pieces of plastic waste. Their presence in oceans and waterways has received a great deal of scientific and media attention in recent years. However, only two previous studies have looked for the presence of microplastics in the air. Both were in cities and their results were comparable, says Allen. Microplastics in the air appear to be ubiquitous.⠀
⠀
If you go outside with a UV light, set at a wavelength of 400 nanometers, and shine it sideways you’ll see all kinds of plastic particles in the air fluoresce,” she said. “It’s almost worse indoors. It’s all a bit terrifying.”⠀

Thailand recently became one of the few bold countries to commit to ban single use plastics. Here are some creative ways people are compensating.
What do you think? Would a ban be in our country’s best interests? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Though likely to be welcomed by many Chinese who worry about pollution, the measures could be a hard sell for a society used to convenience.
