Last week while talking about all the different types of shipping containers I mentioned strapping and banding, closing up and securing D containers, and our loads. We had a few people write in asking if I could explain banding. A couple of listeners took strapping as securing the load in the trailer. So today I thought we'd walk through not only strapping and banding, but also the more common things we use for securing our loads. I'm Marty and I thank you for stopping in for another episode of Warehouse and Operations as a Career. Ok, so the two most common types of strapping are, steel strapping, which, in many instances, are referred to as Metal Banding, and then we have the plastic strapping, which can be comprised of Polypropylene or Polyester. Each has its own purpose, advantages, weaknesses, and safety concerns. And trust me, if you've ever had a steel band snap beside your face or watched a poorly strapped pallet explode in a trailer, you develop a lot of respect for all three! At its core, banding is about securing items for transportation, stabilizing product, preventing shifting, maintaining pallet integrity, and of course reducing product damage, and increasing safety. Think about what all freight goes through, a forklift or pallet jack running it through the warehouse, a trailer bouncing around on the roads and over potholes, rail transportation, ocean movement, temperature changes, stretch wrap tension and weight shifts during turns and braking. So, lets start with steel strapping or metal banding. Steel strapping is typically used for heavy industrial products, steel coils, lumber, brick and block, pipe, building materials, those kinds of things. Steel is chosen because it has very high tensile strength, doesn’t stretch much if at all and has excellent holding power. When a load absolutely cannot shift, steel often wins. But it doesn’t come without limitations and concerns. Steel banding is dangerous. A couple of concerns are, number 1, is snap back. This is probably the biggest danger. When tension is released incorrectly, steel can whip back violently. And I mean violently. That band becomes a razor-sharp spring under pressure. Injuries can include facial cuts, eye injuries, fingers and deep cuts to our arms. Some injuries could even require surgery. Early on in my banding adventures, I had tightened a band on a d container filled with heavy meter parts. I had used the tension ratchet to tighten it pretty tight on the pallet. While getting my crimping tool positioned it snapped at a corner post. Ever since that moment I give strapping and banding the respect it deserves! And number 2 is rust. Steel can rust in humid conditions, outdoor storage areas, and refrigerated environments. Rust weakens the strap over time. And the 3rd concern is the weight. Steel is heavier than plastic. That can mean higher shipping costs and more difficult handling. And lastly, product damage. Steel bands can crush or damage softer freight. Especially things like cardboard, consumer goods, appliances, food packaging. Now let's talk about the most common strapping in today's warehouse world. Plastic banding. There are two major types Polypropylene, used for light duty pallets, cartons, retail shipments, newspaper bundles and such. And then we have polyester, used for heavier pallets, beverage loads, and many applications that were once dominated by the steel strapping. Polyester or PET is the stronger version and has replaced steel in many operations. Some of the advantages of plastic strapping? Well, there safer than steel. This is a huge reason facilities prefer plastic now. Plastic can certainly still hurt someone, but it generally does not whip with the same deadly force as steel. Less severe recoil. Less sharp edges. Still dangerous, but safer. And it's lightweight. Plastic is easier to carry, use, store, and dispose of. And it’s a little more flexible to work with. Plastic stretches slightly. That's actually beneficial for loads that shift naturally, settle during transportation, and expand or contract with temperature. Think of my watermelon example being packed in d containers last week. And another thing is plastic does not rust. This makes it useful in those cooler environments, in freezer operations and outdoor storage. Oh, and plastic is usually cheaper than steel. And in today's operations, cost matters. But plastic isn't perfect either. Its strength is lower, even the PET or polyester strapping. Very heavy freight can stretch and snap plastic, allowing a shift during transport. And it can be more heat sensitive. Extreme heat can weaken plastic. Think of a hot trailer in Texas during August? Let’s see, what else on banding. Oh, I want to mention how banding can be applied several ways. I'm most experienced using the manual tools. Hand tensioners, crimper sleeves and crimpers. Probably more common today are the battery tools. These tools adjust the tension, the seal, and cut automatically. A Huge productivity improvement. But also dangerous if improperly used. And then you have the large automatic banding machines. They may be used in distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and production facilities. Loads pass through automated arches that apply straps quickly and consistently. They're great for high volume, consistency, and speed. All of these, everything I've mentioned can be dangerous. Some common safety mistakes are standing directly in front of a tensioned strap. Improper cutting. Associates sometimes cut steel banding without controlling the tension. That strap explodes outward. And we should never use damaged strapping. A kinked strap is a weakened strap. And never reuse bent steel, frayed plastic, or cracked seals. Oh, and always use edge protectors. Edge protectors prevent product crushing and helps prevent load shifting. Skipping them can and will causes failures. And another biggie for me is too much tension. You're going to crush cartons, damage packaging, and, as we've learned, it's just not safe, or even useful. Wither you're operating the bander, any type of bander, or training or assigning associates to work with banding, we should always wear the proper ppe we've been assigned to use. Our safety glasses, cut resistant gloves, even face shields in heavy steel applications, and then long sleeves in some environments. So, my thoughts on steel vs plastic. I don't think one is universally “better.” I think the correct question is what type of freight are we securing, and why are we securing it? Because really the freight determines the strapping. Here's what I really think the takeaway is. Banding is one of those warehouse tasks people underestimate. It looks simple. But it combines stored energy, sometimes heavy freight, sharp materials, and human behavior. And that combination can become dangerous quickly. A properly strapped pallet travels safely across the country. A poorly strapped pallet becomes a workplace accident waiting to happen. And just like everything else in warehousing, the little things matter. The associate applying that final band may be the last person protecting the freight, the driver, the receiver, and the customer. Ok, talking about how we use strapping to secure loads made me think of a few other tools, probably more common tools, we use every day to help us secure the loads. Let’s talk about a few of those real quick. First up bulkheads. Bulkheads are used to separate and secure product areas within a trailer. They create a barrier that prevents freight from shifting forward or backward during transportation. You'll see solid bulkheads or ridged dividers used in things like grocery or food distribution to keep the freezer and cooler areas at temperature and the freight separated. Kind of creating temperature controlled vaults or compartments in the trailer. Then we have Bubble Bulkheads or Inflatable Bulkheads. These are pretty cool because they function almost like giant airbags. They’re placed in empty spaces between freight sections and inflated. Some advantages they bring to the table are how they are lightweight, flexible, and can fill any odd-shaped spaces. Of course there are some limitations. They can puncture. They'll require proper inflation, and there not always suitable for heavy shifting loads. Next up the Cardboard Bulkheads. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. These are heavy corrugated dividers used to separate lighter products. Sometimes there used to identify different stops for the driver too. There inexpensive, disposable, and lightweight. But they have limited strength, they can crush under heavier pressure, and they can present some moisture concerns. And then anyone that’s ever looked down the walls of many trailers, you’ve probably noticed those long metal rails with repeating slots. Those are E-tracks. E-tracks are mounted horizontally or vertically and create attachment points for securing freight. The straps that clip into them are called E-straps. These things are great and allow for fast installation, and they are easily adjustable, they allow for multiple anchor points, and they are reusable, for like ever! They can be used for securing almost any type of freight. Appliances, furniture, palletized freight, and mixed loads. In distribution there great to secure the wall of freight as we stack down the deliveries. The mistake people sometimes make is thinking it’s clipped in, so we’re done. Well not exactly. The e straps still require proper tension and placement. A loose strap isn’t securing anything. It’s just decorating the trailer wall! One of my personal favorites as a driver is the load bar. Load bars are one of those tools many people have seen but never really thought much about. They’re adjustable bars placed horizontally between trailer walls. They apply pressure and help keep freight from moving or falling forward towards us or the back door. There fast and easy to setup, reusable, and excellent for partial loads. Oh, and I should probably mention the butterfly load bar. Butterfly load bars work like the pole or regular roll bar but use wider stabilizing ends or wing-like designs that spread pressure over larger areas. These create increased contact area, better load stability, and reduced pressure damage. These are great for the route and delivery drivers. The customer never sees the banded or strapped d container or banded pallet, the load bar, the E-strap, the bulkhead, or any of the other precautions us light industrial professionals have taken to protect their products. They only see the result when the trailer door opens and is delivered without damages. Our freight protection tools and our efforts may never get the recognition, but they’re often the reason the product arrives looking exactly like it did when it left our warehouse. That’s ownership in my opinion! Speaking of ownership, I've got to get back to work now myself. I hope you enjoyed todays topic, if so please tell a friend about us. Y'all be safe out there this week and always put safety first.

Il est des promesses industrielles qui sonnent comme des évidences — recycler, boucler, régénérer — et qui, pourtant, se dérobent dès que l'on s'approche de leur mécanique réelle.Dans cet épisode, Décousu soulève le voile sur l'un des grands récits contemporains de la mode : celui de la circularité textile. Aux côtés d'Alain Poincheval, représentant REJU, nous entrons dans la matière — littéralement. Le polyester, omniprésent, ses illusions de recyclabilité, et cette vérité moins commode : aujourd'hui encore, la quasi-totalité du “recyclé” textile provient… de bouteilles plastiques.Alors, que signifie recycler un vêtement en vêtement ? Que reste-t-il de la promesse lorsque surgissent les verrous bien concrets — fibres mélangées, teintures, qualité, collecte, coûts ? Et comment les faire sauter? Pour quels enjeux réels, au-delà du seul discours environnemental?Au-delà de la technique, c'est tout un système que cet épisode interroge. Car derrière la boucle fermée se cache une équation autrement plus délicate : peut-on rendre la circularité rentable ? Et à quelles conditions — industrielles, réglementaires, créatives — faudrait-il repenser la mode pour qu'elle le devienne réellement ?Un épisode pour comprendre, sans simplifier. Et pour regarder, avec lucidité, ce que l'industrie peut — et ne peut pas encore — tenir comme promesse.Bon épisode ! Retrouvez Décousu sur instagram @decousupodcast
At The NAMM Show 2026, Drum Workshop turned its booth into a walk-through of what a modern drum company looks like when craft, heritage, and engineering share the same floor. Scott Donnell, Director of Brand Management at Drum Workshop, Inc., guided us through a lineup that spans the DW Custom Shop, the revived Slingerland Radio King line, Latin Percussion, Pacific Drums and Percussion, and the brand's new DW Manufacturing series. The DW Custom Shop stand is a visible argument for customization as a sonic decision, not just a cosmetic one. Chrome, gold, satin chrome, and black hardware. Polyester sprays, three durable lacquers, exotic plies, and ply wraps. When a drummer specifies wood species, ply count, and grain orientation, they are designing the drum's voice from the inside out. The Slingerland revival gets the faithful-reproduction treatment. Radio King studio kits on display are solid, steam-bent maple shells with the original three-point throw-off and stick saver hoops, built in California. Scott Donnell speaks about the line the way a curator talks about a restoration: get the details right, honor what drummers remember, and let the sound do the rest. Donnell frames DW's innovation as a stack of deliberate decisions rather than a single breakthrough. DW stamps a note into each shell through a process called timbre matching, which ensures the kit is manufactured as a family. Pair that with grain orientation technology, True Pitch tuning, and resonance-focused tom mounting systems, and drummers never end up with an orphan drum in their kit. Marking the tenth anniversary of True Cast, the new DW Manufacturing four by 14 piccolo features a five millimeter sand-cast shell, cast bronze hoops, and fully machined brass and bronze hardware. Only one hundred are being made globally, each arriving in an Anvil flight case. A recent DW video features Dave Elitch and Abe Laboriel Jr. playing the drum with Paul McCartney. The conversation closes on a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour kit gifted to the DW museum by Chad Smith, which will join Neil Peart's and Terry Bozzio's tour kits on display while DW builds Chad new Sonic flight drums for the band's next tour. Pacific Drums and Percussion, LP's top-tuning congas, Tony Escapa's signature hand percussion series, and DWE round out the booth. Drum Workshop is not hiding how the drums get made. Take the tour, take the pictures, watch the videos, and the innovation speaks for itself. This is a Brand Spotlight.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Dr. Kelly McCann — board-certified physician in internal medicine and pediatrics, trained in functional, integrative, and environmental medicine — for a conversation that begins in the body and ends somewhere much deeper.Dr. Kelly is known for her expertise in mold illness, chronic infections, mast cell activation syndrome, and complex chronic conditions. She integrates science, intuition, and spiritual psychology to help people heal at levels most medicine never reaches. She's hosted three worldwide summits reaching over 100,000 people, and her forthcoming book reframes illness not as the enemy — but as a portal. Today, she brings all of it.This episode opens with something practical — the toxic bucket. What's coming in, what's getting cleared, and where most people are losing the battle without knowing it. Plastics. Bisphenols. Mycotoxins. Polyester clothing in the dryer. Endocrine disruptors hiding in places nobody thinks to look. Dr. Kelly maps the terrain clearly, and then Dr. Susan steers the conversation somewhere rarer: what fertility struggles do to the spirit. And what the spirit might actually be trying to say back.You'll learn what the toxic bucket actually is — and why some people can handle far more than others before the system breaks down, how endocrine disruptors work at the receptor level and why fake estrogen might be the reason your hormones look off on paper, why a young man's testosterone in the 200s isn't just a hormone problem — and what mold and lead had to do with one patient's case, what Dr. Kelly means when she says the body is the voice of the spirit — and why that changes everything about how we relate to illness, what The Unforgetting Project is: a nine-week group program built around helping people recover who they actually are beneath the conditioning, why Western medicine keeps people circling the drain — body to the physician, mind to the therapist, spirit to the yoga teacher — and why nobody's talking to each other, and three practices you can start today to begin rebuilding your relationship with your own body.This episode is for you if you've done everything right and still can't understand why your body isn't cooperating, you're somewhere in the fertility journey and feel like the emotional and spiritual weight of it is going unaddressed, you've been told your labs are fine but something still feels de

You've cleaned up what you're eating. You read ingredient labels — most of the time. But what about what you wear for hours? In Part 2 of this series, we're looking at synthetic activewear — polyester, nylon, spandex — and the chemical treatments that don't show up on the tag, including PFAS and formaldehyde-based finishes. If leggings are your everyday uniform, this conversation matters. Because when something becomes your second skin, it deserves a closer look.

Tonight's triple feature tracks the unlikely mainstreaming of one of American cinema's most hostile voices: John Waters. Born in Baltimore in 1946, Waters grew up inside the postwar, Greatest Generation moral order he would spend his career attacking—suburban respectability, sexual repression, and enforced normalcy. These three films mark his evolution from punishment to precision.Polyester (1981) is Waters' first real stab at the mainstream, a vicious parody of 1950s suburban melodrama starring Divine. Complete with Odorama scratch-and-sniff cards, it's less entertainment than indictment—cruel, confrontational, and openly contemptuous of middle-class virtue.By Hairspray (1988), Waters shifts strategy. Set in early-'60s Baltimore and starring Ricki Lake, the film uses classical filmmaking and musical structure to smuggle Waters' politics—body acceptance, integration, anti-bigotry—into a broad audience. It's his Trojan horse.Cry-Baby (1990) completes the arc. Starring Johnny Depp and notably lacking Divine, it reframes 1950s greaser culture with historical accuracy, restoring the era's sexual panic and moral hysteria that nostalgia like Grease erased. More coherent, more humane, and more mature, it's Waters finally understanding rather than punishing his past.You don't have to like John Waters—but these films matter because they remember American culture correctly.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Yatika Starr Fields, 2025. Portrait © Tom Fields 2025 Born in 1980 in Tulsa, Yatika Starr Fields is a member of the Cherokee, Creek and Osage tribes, as well as a member of the Bear Clan. Yatika Fields studied landscape painting at the University of Oklahoma's Sienna, Italy summer program before enrolling at the Art Institute of Boston from 2001 to 2004. While living on the East Coast, the artist developed a keen interest in street art. His dynamic, vibrant graffiti works quickly attracted attention, generating public and private mural commissions across the country from Portland to Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Santa Fe, and Bentonville. In 2018, he completed Astonishment of Perception, a monumental site-specific mural in downtown Bentonville, as part of Crystal Bridges Museum's Art for a New Understanding (2018–2019). Spanning the side of Cripps Law Firm's two-story building, the work depicts lady justice peeking from behind her blindfold, highlighting the dissonance between America's ideals and its judicial system in practice. Like many of Fields's works, the mural blends abstract and stylistic elements, figuration, and allegorical narrative, all in a dynamic, saturated Pop-palette. After joining the water protectors at the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016, Fields began to give the Indigenous history of hope and struggle a greater focus in his work. In the 2017 series Tent Metaphor Standing Rock, the artist recovered tents after the infamous February 22, 2017 police raid on the protesters, sewing the recovered material into shapes resembling coffins, sleeping bags, or kites. Fields first worked with tents—a mainstay of middle-class camping holidays— after witnessing Seattle's brightly colored homeless encampments. His interest only increased after noticing the structure's role in modern protest movements. The artist recombines the vivid material into traditional Indigenous patterns, anti-pipeline slogans like “Stop the Black Snake,” and into dynamic, compelling abstract compositions. In its totality, the series blurs the boundaries between political polemic and abstraction, between distress, resistance, and hope. The painting, America Realized (2017), also memorializes the experience at Standing Rock. The composition is explosive: Torrents of ice and fire swirl through prayer ties and collapsing tents, recounting the freezing weather, police force, and fires that the activists braved at Oceti Sakowin, the central camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. A surveillance drone flies across the top of the expansive canvas packed with razor wire, floodlights, and debris. The scale of the 6- by-6-foot composition allows for Fields to replicate the embodied, fluid performance of mural and street art. As in graffiti works, Fields blurs the line between abstraction and representation, creating stylistic compositions out of recognizable elements, and setting them against dynamic, swirling fields of color and twisting forms. Fields has participated in over 43 solo and group exhibitions at venues across the United States and Europe, including: the Southern Plains Indian Museum, (2008, Anadarko, Oklahoma); Chiaroscuro Contemporary (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, Santa Fe); BlueRain Gallery (2015, 2016, 2018, Santa Fe); Peabody Essex Museum, (2015–2016, Salem, MA); Rainmaker Gallery (2017, Bristol, UK); the Grand Palais (2018, Paris); the Philbrook Museum (2018, Tulsa); the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (Bentonville, 2019); and the Gilcrease Museum, (2019, Tulsa). Fields's paintings are featured in the collections of many museums across the country, including: the Heard Museum (Phoenix); the Hood Museum (Dartmouth College); Oklahoma State Museum of Art; the Peabody Essex Museum; and the Sam Noble Museum (University of Oklahoma).

We dig into the complexities of textile recycling with Patrik Frisk, who is working to create a circular economy for textile-to-textile polyester regeneration. Patrik is the CEO of Reju, a recent startup enabling polyester to be recycled at speed and scale. Patrik has over thirty years' experience of working in the apparel and footwear industries for globally recognised brands, joining Reju after 5 years as CEO at Under Armour. Patrik has extensive experience in textiles, including senior leadership roles at VF Corporation (the owner of outdoor brands including The North Face, Timberland, JanSport), the Aldo Group and W.L Gore & Associates, the makers of Gore-Tex. Reju itself is a materials regeneration company focused on creating solutions for regenerating polyester textiles and PET waste. Reju is owned by Technip Energies and, as we'll hear, it is using technology that originated from research by IBM. Patrik explains the size of the problem, and the many complexities of trying to effectively recycle end-of-life clothing and textiles. We hear how brands and policymakers are responding to the growing issues caused by fast-fashion, including some legislation changes that are encouraging organizations to think differently, and to consider investing in proper recycling (not downcycling) technologies. We discuss the challenges around logistics, infrastructure, how to deal with mixed fibres, and why being able to recycle mixed textiles into a clean, high quality polyester output is such a groundbreaking innovation.
While on his travels in Indonesia, our correspondent Shivam Gusain speaks to Philip Berman about his latest Ecotextile News article on decarbonising the textile industry, fossil fuel subsidies, and polyester taxation. Speaking within the current context of the volatile tariff war between the US and supply chain countries like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, Shivam advocates for fiscal approaches that reduce the cost of sustainable alternatives rather than excessive taxation. He emphasises the interdependence of fossil fuels and global stability, saying that removing subsidies and applying levies are deeply political acts. The full article “Carbon taxes will halt textile sector progress” features in our August 2025 print edition – out today – and is available here on our digital platform for premium members.

Writer, director, actor, and artist John Waters has been making avant-garde cinema since the 1960s. His movies have pushed boundaries and shocked audiences with their wild characters and surreal storylines, even as they offer piercing insights into popular American culture and society. While he experienced mainstream crossover success by the 1980s and into the 2000s, and has been embraced by many in the entertainment industry, John Waters is inherently an outsider –- and he wouldn't have it any other way. He is a unique, visionary queer voice in American cinema. So for one of our 2025 Pride specials, the Great Pop Culture Debate looks back on 8 of The Pope of Trash's most notable movies and attempts to name the Best John Waters Film. Movies discussed: Hairspray (1988), Serial Mom (1994), Pink Flamingos (1972), Cry-Baby (1990), Female Trouble (1974), Mondo Trasho (1969), Polyester (1981), Pecker (1998). Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelist Jonny Minogue, and special guests Erin Marlow from the It's a Fandom Thing podcast, and Joshua Grannell AKA Peaches Christ, alternative drag icon and host of the Midnight Mass podcast, as they discuss 8 of the most notorious John Waters films.

Because everyone loves a double meaning, Milwaukee Film took one look at the month of June, contemplated it being the start of summer as well as Pride Month, and came up with a movie series titled “Summer CAMP!” that covers the latter with just a sprinkling of the former.The 10 films selected for the monthlong run primarily reflect the Merriam-Webster definition of camp as “something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing.” You'll also find a couple movies that head to camp as in cabins and mosquitos and — in one case — slasher horror.Here's the full lineup, all of which unspool at the Oriental Theatre:Death Becomes Her — June 4 at 6:30 p.m.Polyester (in Odorama!) — June 6 at 7:30 p.m.Xanadu — June 7-8 at 3 p.m.Grease 2 — June 12-13 at 9:30 p.m.Showgirls — June 19-21 at 9 p.m.Brokeback Mountain (4K restoration) — June 22 at noon and 6 p.m.; June 24 and 26 at 6 p.m.Moonrise Kingdom — June 21-22 at 3 p.m.D.E.B.S. — June 26-27 at 9 p.m.What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? — June 28-29 at 3:45 p.m.Sleepaway Camp — June 28 at 9:45 p.m.
Richies, for Pride Month we bring you a true hero to - and champion of - the queer community. A filmmaker who brings an oddball sensibility and counter-culture vibe to the mainstream. Director John Waters has been marching to the beat of his own drum since he was little boy, doing twisted puppet shows at birthday parties and drawing with black crayons. Born and raised in a Baltimore suburb, John knows early on that he's different. And he embraces it. His early films like “Pink Flamingos” are so deliberately gross and funny that they earn him the nickname “The Pope of Trash.” But behind the shock value is a real artist. He eases his way into the mainstream flicks like “Polyester” and then “Hairspray.” John Waters' lasting film legacy is to embrace and celebrate society's weirdos.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

All week we're looking at National Parks, last week the Supreme Court ruled that wild camping on Dartmoor is legal. Some areas, however, are dealing with anti-social behaviour and 'fly camping'. We talk to Kevin Bishop CEO of Dartmoor National Park who also sits on National Parks England about the challenges.The prolonged dry spell has had affected the growth of crops and water levels in rivers and reservoirs, but what about wildlife? We ask the British Trust for Ornithology what impact it's likely to have on wading birds and also discuss their new report which examined the impact of bird flu on wild birds like swans and barnacle geese.Plastic pollution is contaminating insects at the base of food chains, raising fresh concerns about the long-term impacts on wildlife, according to a new study by the University of Sussex. Researchers have discovered fragments of plastic in a wide range of invertebrates, which are prey for small mammals like hedgehogs. Polyester fibres, commonly shed from clothing, were the most frequently detected type of plastic and scientists think it comes from treated sewage sludge used to fertilise fields.

“There's nothing wrong with Ellen. It's just that she loves too much.” We watched “Leave Her to Heaven” with our friend Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven,” and we're still trying to figure out a way to get Gene Tierney that Oscar. This Technicolor psychological thriller really has everything: melodrama, film noir, allusions to Greek mythology, and most importantly… that face! Not a soul can clock. Gene Tierney is really serving it up throughout this movie, and we just have one thing to say - congratulations on that face. Gene's femme fatale portrayal of Ellen sets the standard for Black Widows for years to come. Let's face it - Ellen Berent Harland threw herself down the stairs so Amy Dunne could, well… “Gone Girl” herself. So many “women's pictures” owe a great debt to “Leave Her to Heaven.” Would we have Divine's impeccably decorated Baltimore home in “Polyester” without it?

Register for the Annual Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit happening April 23-25, 2025.Polyester underwear could be sabotaging your fertility, and most couples trying to conceive have no idea.In this eye-opening episode, I dive into fascinating research dating back to the 1990s that shows a direct connection between polyester underwear and decreased fertility. A prolific surgeon with over a thousand published studies discovered that dogs wearing polyester underwear became infertile, with low sperm motility and other reproductive issues that reversed when the polyester was removed. (Dr. Shafik https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8279095/)Similar studies on human males showed comparable results, even affecting sexual desire and activity.What's particularly interesting is that while these studies initially focused on static electricity from polyester. We now know that chemicals commonly added to polyester fabrics including flame retardants, phthalates, BPA, and PFAS are all known reproductive toxins. This makes the switch to natural fiber underwear even more crucial for anyone concerned about fertility.If you're trying to conceive or planning to in the future, this episode provides practical guidance on finding stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options for both you and your partner. Plus, I invite you to the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit, where I'll be sharing more insights on eliminating toxins that impact fertility, including a free downloadable checklist to help you create a fertility-friendly environment.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • The scientific evidence linking polyester underwear to decreased fertility • Why chemicals in polyester affect reproductive health and development • How to find stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options • The best natural fiber underwear brands for both women and men • Details about the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility SummitMentioned in this episode:Toxin Free Faves adsHead over to toxinfreefavorites.com to shop all the toxin-free goodies that you would find in my home.
