Recycling is easier than going vegan, but it’s also a lot less effective.

MTG has put herself into a really interesting place because she hasn't attacked any of Trump's policies, she's just took a stance for child rape victims. So MAGA folks have to decide whether to attack her for that and "stand with Trump" or support pedophilia and child sex trafficking.

Just saw a video from Charlotte of Border Patrol breaking the windows of a truck then dragging a US citizen to the ground because he is brown
They are giving the raids on Charlotte the name of a beloved children’s novel about disparate members of a community working together to save someone vulnerable 🤬

Brevetoxins are potent neurotoxins produced by certain algae and cause significant health problems (“red tide” is one form). Even if you don’t care about marine life, you can get sick and even die just from breathing air near a shoreline w/ brevetoxin-producing algae. Climate change will kill us all
Harmful algal bloom (HAB) spread across 20,000 km2 & resulted in the deaths of millions of marine animals, from at least 550 species
