I used a straw today. I am a #climateactivist. I try to be as eco friendly as possible but sometimes I slip up and that’s okay. Our individual eco sins are not why life on earth is ending. Corporate greed is. Shell is telling us to recycle while they burn down everything.

Activities with low risk of contracting COVID-19: -Running -Petting your dog -Cycling -Playing with your dog -Rewatching Breaking Bad -Looking at your dog -Puzzles -Reminding your dog that he/she is a "good dog" -Open-water swimming -Replying to this with a picture of your dog(s)
