Canadians throw away 3 million tonnes of plastic waste every year. 15 billion plastic bags a year. 57 million straws a day. They end up in our oceans, beaches, parks and streets. And this has to stop. We owe it to our planet, and to our kids. cbc.ca/news/politics/plastic…

Tomorrow, humanity will undergo a phase transition: from a species that has never seen a black hole to one that has a real, honest-to-god picture of its edge.
