Typically, yes. It’s best to just double-check the ingredients list for those two chemicals. I don’t trust advertising.

Oh for sure. We even contribute on a smaller scale by using sunscreen containing oxybenzone or octinoxate when swimming near reefs. The latter also breaks down into a carcinogen and hormone disrupter.

I’m focused on the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (when you account for overseas manufacturing), who left the Paris Climate Agreement, cancelled renewable energy subsidies, and is actively repealing EPA regulations to drive profits in the private sector.

But yes, other corporations are contributing as well. They just pale in comparison.

Everyone is playing the Earth’s favorite new game, Extinction Events! Brought to you by corporate America.

Will you starve, drown, burn, asphyxiate, or succumb to disease? The fun doesn’t stop until the last player is out!

It’s not my party. I’ve been left of the Democrats since the 90s. It’s the party that more closely aligns with my values between the only two that can win a US Presidential Election.

I believe you, and I’m sure you’re not the only one with that problem. I didn’t say it was the reason Bernie lost, because I’m fully aware of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Hillary’s collusion, but it was a contributing factor.

I volunteered to direct foot traffic for the general election, and chatted up several other volunteers about the disappointing results of the primary. They told me that they couldn’t believe how many registered independents and no party affiliation voters they had to turn away. Apparently partisan primary requirements aren’t common knowledge, so I’m sharing this information to prevent other people from having the same experience.
