Recently, the state of California raised the age to buy tobacco to 21 years old. A lot of people think this will decrease the amount of people who smoke, because that is the age a majority of people start to smoke.

The “Plasticized” video is a chilling reminder of how we take for granted the convenience of single use plastics. Who would have thought that thousands of miles off shore you would find tiny “nurdles” or virgin plastic floating in the ocean? I honestly did not even know that this is what virgin plastic was termed. I had no idea that you could drag the surface of the ocean in the middle of no-where and find this stuff floating.
