This is great news! 👏👏👏#skipthestraw #reducesingleuseplastics

.@bullmccabesdnc estimates that they've reduced plastic straw use by "at least 10,000 straws a month" by enacting straws-upon-request policy: "It's a lot, and you don't realize every little one, they count." 🙌abc11.com/3420201/ via @abc11_wtvd

I really enjoy listening to @HiddenBrain as I'm getting ready for work in the morning. This episode was particularly interesting.

In Rwanda, the radio soap opera "Musekeweya" is wildly popular. The show launched in 2004 to help heal the scars of the genocide -- and prevent future violence. So did it work? n.pr/2H22zQq
