    ‘ “Most of these alternative bags are made with non-woven polypropylene, which is not widely recycled in the United States and does not typically contain any post-consumer recycled materials,” the study explains. “This shift in material also resulted in a notable environmental impact, with the increased consumption of polypropylene bags contributing to a 500% increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to non-woven polypropylene bag production in 2015.” ‘

    What can I say, NJ is now back to wanting to re-mandate masks (that don’t work) … and then they wonder why they are moving out in droves!?!

    We are just at the start of my wife's cancer treatments and the bills are astronomical. If she didn't have a good secondary insurance we would be in a bad place. Prayers for your wife.

    Ahh life, it throws us these curves… thankfully Jesus is there. @Tyndale 1946 ( Glen Ramsey & his wife Pam) have a support group that you should know about. Those two have been there for my wife and I for a while now. Reach out to them and you are in my prayers.
