Plastic straws may seem harmless, but some can leach toxic chemicals like BPA and phthalates into your drinks—potentially disrupting hormones, reproductive health outcomes including fertility, and overall health and development. In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living, we uncover the hidden dangers of plastic straws, explore their environmental impact, and reveal the safest nontoxic alternatives, including glass, stainless steel, silicone, and plant-based options. In the United States, it's estimated that we use up to 500 million plastic straws daily, contributing to about 4.8 billion straws being dumped into our oceans. Learn how to make simple swaps for a healthier, more eco-friendly lifestyle.
President Donald Trump said he is banning the federal use of paper straws, saying they "don't work" and don't last very long. Instead, he wants the government to exclusively move to plastic. "It's a ridiculous situation. We're going back to plastic straws," Trump said as he signed an executive order to reverse federal purchasing policies that encourage paper straws and restrict plastic ones. The order directs federal agencies to stop buying paper straws "and otherwise ensure that paper straws are no longer provided within agency buildings." The move by Trump—who has long railed against paper straws and whose 2019 reelection campaign sold Trump-branded reusable plastic straws for $15 per pack of 10—targets a Biden administration policy to phase out federal purchases of single-use plastics, including straws, from food service operations, events and packaging by 2027, and from all federal operations by 2035. Several U.S. states and cities have banned plastic straws, and some restaurants no longer automatically give them to customers. But plastic straws are only a small part of the problem. The environment is littered with single-use plastic food and beverage containers—water bottles, takeout containers, coffee lids, shopping bags and more. Around the world, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic enters the ocean every minute from a range of sources, including plastic bags, toothbrushes, bottles, food packaging and more, experts say. As those materials break down in the environment, microplastics are turning up in the stomachs of fish, birds and other animals, as well as in human blood and tissue. And plastic manufacturing releases planet-warming greenhouse gases and other dangerous pollutants. More than 90% of plastic products are derived from fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, and millions of tons of plastic waste enter the world's oceans every year. Many multinational companies have moved away from plastic straws and have made reducing plastic use across their operations central to their sustainability goals, making Trump's decision an outlier in the business world.

Megyn Kelly discusses the new narrative and talking point from the corporate media and the establishment Democrats that President Trump is bringing us to a “constitutional crisis,” their hypocrisy related to former President Biden when he said he defied a court order on his student loan forgiveness plan, and more. Then National Review's Charles C.W. Cooke and Rich Lowry join to discuss the legacy media's approved narrative about Trump's "constitutional crisis," the absurd overreaction and the reality of the situation, the outrageous things USAID has been paying for under past administrations, why Trump is so popular currently with Americans based on new polls, why the establishment and corporate media hates him, the "scholars" and "experts" who supported Biden, FEMA execs fired for defying Trump and sending funds, the executive order Trump signed to get rid of paper straws and bring back plastic straws, the hypocrisy from the left criticizing him for focusing on common sense issues, and more. Then Carol Swain, author of "The Gay Affair," joins to discuss former Harvard President Claudine Gay blaming racism for her plagiarism scandal rather than taking responsibility, what she plagiarized from Carol herself, the epidemic of plagiarism in academia today, how she overcame actual racism from white progressives in her past, CNN pundits whining and playing the victim in 2025, the targeting she gets as a black conservative, and more.Cooke-https://twitter.com/charlescwcookeLowry-https://www.nationalreview.com/Swain-https://carolmswain.com/ Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshowFYSI: Book your free business review today at https://FYSI.com/MegynJustThrive: Visit https://JustThriveHealth.com and use code MEGYN and save 20% sitewideCozy Earth: https://www.CozyEarth.com/MEGYN | code MEGYN
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Sunday, in a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump said he has ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to stop producing the penny. According to The New York Times it costs 3.69 cents to produce a single penny—which means the U.S. loses nearly $85 million per year producing pennies. But will doing away with the penny result in a transition away from hard currency—ultimately meaning less privacy with each purchase? Rich notes, “failure of imagination will be the undoing of our civil liberties.” 6:30pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order reversing the Biden Administration's war on plastic straws. 6:40pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump said if Hamas does not release all of its hostages by Saturday at noon, all hell will break loose. 6:50pm- BREAKING NEWS: According to reports, the Justice Department is dropping the federal corruption charges brought against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Elon Musk is reportedly weighing the possibility of enlisting Ron Paul to lead an audit of the Federal Reserve, a move that could have significant implications for the country's financial transparency and accountability. Musk, known for his involvement in numerous high-profile ventures, has increasingly turned his attention to government spending and financial oversight. This potential collaboration between the tech magnate and the former congressman is seen as an effort to examine the Federal Reserve's policies and practices with a critical eye, considering Paul's long-standing advocacy for auditing and reforming the central bank.Musk and his team recently uncovered troubling findings during an audit of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Among the revelations was the discovery that FEMA had allocated a staggering $59 million to house illegal immigrants in New York, raising questions about the federal government's spending priorities.

Donald Trump signs an executive order finally banning paper straws and all anyone can talk about is Elon Musk and some Constitutional Crisis going on everywhere. This is the first ever openly sourced and curated news program with just the important parts.
First, Elon Musk commandeered America's money without the consent of Congress. Now, Musk and JD Vance are questioning the authority of the judicial branch of government to serve as a check on executive power. They are pushing back against a federal judge's decision blocking Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury Department records. In doing so, top Trump administration officials are questioning the legitimacy of judicial oversight. Musk called for the impeachment of the judge and has reposted a message saying the Trump administration should just defy the court order.We'll talk politics with iHeart television and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich.

Mind your plastic pollution is a conversation that we all need to have because we all partake in using single-use plastic as the system is set up that way. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin engages in a conversation with Natasha Tucker, the Executive Director of Mind Your Plastic, a Canadian charity focused on eliminating plastic pollution. The discussion centers around the pervasive issue of plastic in our environment, emphasizing the need for behavioral change among individuals and businesses to reduce our dependence on plastics. Key points from the episode include: Understanding Plastic Pollution: The episode highlights how plastic is ubiquitous in our lives, affecting not only our oceans but also our health and the environment. The conversation underscores the importance of recognizing the impact of plastic pollution on both a local and global scale. Behavioral Change: Natasha emphasizes that changing consumer habits is crucial. Many people are resistant to altering their behaviors, often clinging to convenience over sustainability. The episode discusses how small actions, such as opting for reusable items instead of single-use plastics, can lead to significant changes over time. Education and Awareness: The importance of education in fostering awareness about plastic pollution is a recurring theme. Natasha shares her journey of engaging with the public through beach cleanups and educational programs, which not only help clean the environment but also inspire others to reconsider their consumption habits. Targeted Messaging: The episode discusses the need for tailored messaging to connect with different audiences. For instance, when speaking to businesses, focusing on the financial benefits of reducing plastic use can be more effective than solely discussing environmental impacts. This approach helps to align sustainability with economic incentives. Community Engagement: Natasha shares experiences from community cleanups, illustrating how direct involvement can lead to a greater understanding of the issue. Engaging with the community fosters a sense of responsibility and encourages individuals to take action against plastic pollution. Policy and Advocacy: The conversation touches on the role of policy in addressing plastic pollution. Natasha explains how Mind Your Plastic advocates for stronger regulations and works with businesses to find sustainable alternatives to plastic. In conclusion, the episode emphasizes that reducing our dependence on plastic pollution requires a collective effort involving education, community engagement, and a willingness to change behaviors. By making conscious choices and advocating for better policies, individuals can contribute to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.

Are you sick of hearing about plastic straws? Andrew Santino, a comedian, doesn't think that plastic straws are hurting sea turtles even though a video went viral for a scientist pulling a plastic straw from a sea turtle's nose in Costa Rica. Four months later, the same scientist pulled a plastic fork from a sea turtle's nose about 70 kilometres from the original site. In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the influence of comedy on public perception, particularly regarding the anti-single-use plastic movement. He begins by referencing a stand-up bit by comedian Andrew Santino, who humorously questions the narrative surrounding plastic straws and their impact on sea turtles. Santino's comedic approach raises concerns for Lewin, who worries that audiences may take such jokes seriously and dismiss the real issues of plastic pollution. Lewin emphasizes that while comedy can be entertaining, it can also perpetuate misinformation. He highlights the viral incident of a sea turtle with a plastic straw lodged in its nose, which became a symbol for the dangers of single-use plastics. Despite the comedic dismissal of such incidents, Lewin argues that they are significant and represent a larger problem of plastic pollution affecting marine life. The episode underscores the power comedians hold in shaping public discourse. Lewin points out that many people rely on comedians for information, which can lead to misunderstandings about environmental issues. He expresses concern that jokes trivializing the impact of plastics may lead to apathy or skepticism about the anti-single-use plastic movement. Ultimately, Lewin calls for a deeper understanding of the issue, urging listeners to recognize plastic straws as a gateway to the broader problem of plastic pollution. He invites feedback from the audience on their thoughts regarding the role of comedy in environmental advocacy, highlighting the need for accurate communication in the fight against plastic waste.
