Please share because I met people who didn't know they could register and vote today.

You can do that in almost half of US states.

How: https://t.co/rStOMcwPWw.

If you're not voting, I'd love to hear why. I'll even put on my hat that turns me into a nonjudgmental person!

How to not turn your home into a 👻haunted house:

Prevent counterfeit heat pump or air con refrigerant cylinders from causing🔥, inhalation injuries, or ⚰️death https://t.co/HusTzS74pL (@EIA_News).

Also, how to not get☠️toxic heat pumps, air con, fridges https://t.co/KHzasb8phi

[Ask Ms. Green (column, videos, podcasts) @realMsGreen]

Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, you deserve free money for a less toxic fridge, heat pump, or air conditioner with no trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a toxic PFAS.

Some rebates end this year.

You deserve safer policies too.

See if:
-Dry cleaning chemicals like perc offgas from clothes & harm people at/near cleaners. Perc has no health perks! Other chemicals can cause harm, even if “green/organic/nontoxic.”
-You can wash "dry clean only” clothes at home
-Wet cleaners are safer

See studies & a fabulous video on reasons to get therapy, such as any reason😉 or you:

-Don’t think you need therapy

-Want your situation to improve

-Feel judgmental, jealous, that you have little impact, not yourself

-Replay past hurts, reject advice

Building products w/certain ecolabels might be safer than ones w/only Healthy Product Declaration/Declare labels. You have to be an expert to decipher HPD/Declare.

I don’t know certifiers who test for all toxics though.

“Regenerative," "sustainable," or "carbon neutral” crops might have pesticides

Ask me how NOT to plow your garden/grow it regeneratively. There’s no “tilling” what I’ll find when I dig :)

📱https://t.co/nyOz0Gq7YW:

Why Signal is safer than WhatsApp.

If you use WhatsApp or Signal, make sure:

- There aren't links to devices you don't recognize.

- If you created groups, disable group links.

- Regularly change your app pin.

Don't say I didn't warn you :)

[Ask Ms. Green (column, videos, podcasts) @realMsGreen]

☎️Protect yourself & your contacts on your phone

Buy a modern burner phone w/cash. Don’t turn it on at home. Only add the Signal app.

Or keep your phone off or on airplane mode when you don’t need it. Turn off bluetooth/wifi/airdrop.

More in comments⬇️& https://t.co/Z2QXTwJYlk

[Ask Ms. Green (column, videos, podcasts) @realMsGreen]

📞Protect yourself & your contacts on your phone:

Set notifications to be visible only if you unlock your phone.

Turn off biometric face/fingerprint ID. Use a long, complex alphanumeric password.

Backup your phone.

[Ask Ms. Green (column, videos, podcasts) @realMsGreen]

If you go to protests:

If someone asks you to open your phone, only do it w/your lawyer there. Write their phone on your arm.

Don’t leave anything w/fingerprints/saliva (drinks)

In custody, you only need to give your name/bday. Don't say much to anyone

Where to get someone to repair, reuse, or responsibly recycle random stuff:
With greener thrift stores, junk haulers & recyclers that don't dump stuff behind your back!
