Good Morning to All!
I hope you are all having a good week.
I recently posted about the use of technology within our profession.
Perhaps an adjunct to the previous post, I want to share an article about
nurdles that I hope you will find interesting. When I think of the
plastics that we rely on, the packaging we receive our shipments in, and
the trends towards 3D printing, I wonder just how much of an advancement
these materials actually represent, given the impact they have on our
environment. Perhaps a re-thinking of the materials we use is in order.
I have no answers, only questions.
I would also highly recommend that each of you watch a movie called, A
Plastic Ocean. It is not a feel good story, by any means. Rather, it is a
wake-up call to all of us that our presence here on earth affects more than
just ourselves. Even if you don't care about the environment, I know you
care about what you put in your bodies.

the worst toxic waste you've never heard of.
Thank you for your time.
