So…who all is switching to #Signal as their messaging app? I don’t want these billionaire tech bros to have any more access to my data!

Cory came home from dissecting Great Lakes fish, and was discouraged by all of the microplastic he found in their guts. Biggest contributor? Laundry detergent! Now, I’m questing for affordable PVA-free detergent. Protecting wildlife shouldn’t be so hard. www.implasticfree.com/plastic-free...
