According to Republicans- you can marry a child, give them a gun and force them to carry a baby to term, but letting them read a Judy Blume book, wear a mask, talk about race, gender or sexual orientation is child abuse.

I can't think why Nadine Dorries and the Tory government want to privatise Channel 4. On an unrelated note, @krishgm’s introduction of Tory MP Ben Bradley is arguably one of the greatest introductions of all time.

Coke switched to plastic bottles not because consumers wanted it ( we all used to take bottles back to the shops lol) but because they figured that disposable plastic was cheaper than maintaining the bottle collection system

The world is not addicted to plastic. People don't buy products in plastic packages because they just can't get enough plastic, they buy them because there's no other choice. Corporations are addicted to plastic, and governments are addicted to not regulating corporations.

The world is addicted to plastic. To address the problem, researchers are turning to some unlikely substances: the roots of mushrooms, and byproducts from wheat and lentil production, to create bioplastics. Read more: globalnews.ca/news/8707787/h…
