  - Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry. 
  - They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done. 
  - Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials. 
  - Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized. 
  - Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause. 
  - It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business. 
  - They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock. 
  - We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.  
  - We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities. 
  - I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out. 
  - We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives. 
  - There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging. 
  - Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.

  Infinity and our Unbounded...

  Martin K. Ettington

  The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. 
  Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. 
  It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. 
  Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. 
  We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. 
  This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

  Saving Ourselves from Big Car

  Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
    
  This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.
