  • Katie, I’m so glad that you brought the focus back to such an important topic in our modern day. I feel that many people are vaguely aware of the immense amounts of plastic that exist in our oceans and global communities but always turn a cold shoulder to such an immense problem. As you said, such a “sickening” fact is hard to come to terms with…Read More

  • Dear Miles, I thought your post was very intriguing and you did a great job of including important statistics on the topic.

I really liked seeing your perspective on this Matthew and I can’t wait to see your next post.

  • Ishmael,
    I think this is a very insightful and necessary piece of writing that everyone can connect with on some level. Although many of the things you referenced may seem obvious, it is often the most obvious things that are easiest to forget… especially in the last year. Exercise is something I’ve always enjoyed doing and typically do often…Read More
