Big things...they keep happening.

Big things are always happening.
Whether those things are good or bad is up to us.
Seriously.
I don't mean to sound weird, but we could stop all of this bad shiz from happening to our planet.
So let's make that happen!

The Environmental Protection Agency really is a wondrous thing.

So...pollutants.
We all know that they're bad for marine life in general, right?
Please tell me you all know that.
I mean, really.
Ah, well.
Gaze upon this article if you will...learn of a certain pollutant that threatens five species of sea turtles.
