Scientists have warned of tipping points for decades. But we may have reached our first one. Over the past 3 years, coral reefs saw their worst bleaching on record, with much of the damage irreversible.

Does your pet generate plastic pollution? Maybe we hadn’t considered it, but America’s pet industry creates roughly 300 million pounds of plastic packing each year, putting both planetary and your pet’s health at risk.
