Undercounted: These Hard-To-See Pieces Of Plastic Are Probably Harming Us.

…plastic water bottles are not without concern. A new study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that on average a liter-sized plastic water bottle (about 33 ounces) contains about 240,000 detectable plastic fragments. That’s about 10 to 100 times more than previous estimates.

Necesitaba romper cadenas y saltar cercas – Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

Necesitaba romper las cadenas de la rutina, deshacerme de los barandales de la cotidianidad, saltar la cerca, rebelarme contra lo que no coincidía con mis sentimientos, defender mis ideas y mis sueños, diseñar nuevas rutas, transitar de un entorno de barbarie y mediocridad a niveles superiores de bien y plenitud, inventar los días de mi existencia, dejar huellas y constancia de mi paseo por el mundo, propiciar mi desenvolvimiento, escapar de la locura social, y eso no les agradó a muchos que preferían mirarme atrapado en el corral, entre la ceguera y el vacío de los grandes rebaños que se mueven como flores de bella y efímera apariencia y son felices con sus superficialidades. Necesitaba algo más que maquillaje. No me agradan los hilos de la manipulación y del control ni las marionetas, y menos los titiriteros ni los dueños del circo, y por eso creen que soy necio, rebelde y tonto. Diseño y sigo mi sendero, aunque a veces parezca que estoy desgarrado y haya ganado, por mi estilo, tanta enemistad.

Good People Doing Good Things — Little Things Mean A Lot | Filosofa’s Word

Every now and then I like to do something a little different on the ‘good people’ post and show you just a few stories from people who have experienced or witnessed very small, yet huge, random acts of kindness from everyday people in everyday situations.  Some are so simple, and yet had so much meaning to the recipient of that small kindness.  Sometimes all it takes are a few kind words or a few minutes of our time to make an enormous difference in someone’s day…
