@tpl_org what are these colorful 'squishy" surfaces & 'turf' areas made of? Plastic synthetic turf & rubber surfacing are HOTTER than asphalt& full of toxics @SHPFC #NoChildFriedOutside re: Out with asphalt: schoolyards transformed into 'green' oases? https://t.co/qB9ui09iss

This #EarthDay, we express our deep gratitude to the federal probationary employees who protect the environment and were illegally fired for doing so. Meanwhile, the leaders of our country have failed their probationary period.

Crumb rubber is a material commonly used to cover artificial sports fields. Ifyou’ve ever played on a synthetic turf field using crumb rubber as infill, you’ll also know that the rubber pellets get absolutely EVERYWHERE.

Think you have to tolerate artificial turf for consistent & level fields, more playtime & fewer rainouts?😞

Think again!😃

Proof your school/city doesn’t need artificial turf:

Let's teach public health history. Those born in the past 50 years or so simply don't remember a time when now vaccine preventable diseases were killing people. I met one woman who conflated deadly smallpox with chicken pox . 😫 #Smallpox was thankfully vaccine-eradicated.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

It's just so tricky to figure out if vaccines work or not

Let's look at polio.

The data isn't clear

A Russian disinformation network boosted the number of “pink slime” outlets — sites that present themselves as independent local news outlets but are instead funded by partisan groups — to 1,265, outnumbering the websites of 1,213 daily newspapers left in the U.S., according to @LocalNewsIni.

Traditional newspapers are disappearing at a rate of two and a half per week, leaving millions of Americans without legitimate local news coverage.

News trickling out from plastic treaty talks of 2 versions of a draft in use. One includes a substantial section on harm from chemicals added to plastics. The other doesn't. Guess which version industry reps are choosing to work with? https://t.co/6FaPSE24E2

When Trump takes office he will inherit a situation in which fewer undocumented migrants are being apprehended at the US southern border than at any other time over the past four years.

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/

With billionaire grifters in power, forget protecting regular people. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was set up in 2008 in response to the Great Recession to protect consumers. Which it has done well while being constantly attacked by the wealthiest grifters:
