Oooh... this good. @SafeProduce gives you a CALCULATOR to determine (based on your age / gender) how much produce you would have to eat before you hit minimum pesticide threshold levels.

Thanks @thefarmbabe for the connection.

Just in case no one told you today:

You are not a burden
It’s okay to need and get help
It’s okay to be struggling
The world is beautiful with you in it
People love you
You’re worth it
You matter
You’re not an exception to recovery

How many single-use #PlasticBottles do you use in a day/week/year? Now, multiply that by all the people you know. That’s a lot of #PlasticWaste!! If we all make the switch to reusable products, the impact will be HUGE. Let’s #BeatPlasticPollution!
