Seattle Becomes the First U.S. City to Ban Plastic Straws

I have a feeling a lot of other cities (and possibly countries) are going to get on board this train sooner or later. And in the end, it will be better for all of us. Seattle, Washington became the first American city to altogether ban plastic straws on July 1, 2018.

Seattle banned plastic utensils as well on July 1. The plastic straw ban can result in a $250 fine to restaurants. The disastrous effects of plastic straws on our environment have been well documented as of late, and this can only be seen as a step in the right direction.

Customers will still be able to request compostable plastic or paper straws, but both of those items still pose environmental problems. Let’s see how many other U.S. cities follow suit.

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Leave Water Bottles in Your Hot Car

There are a lot of things you shouldn’t leave in a hot car (dogs and cats, kids) but you should add one more thing to the list this summer, and a lot of us are guilty of it.

That’s right, plastic water bottles. And there’s a couple of reasons why you shouldn’t do this. The first is because when it gets hot, chemicals from plastic bottles can seep into the water, and we all know that isn’t good for anyone. But a hot plastic bottle also has the potential to set your car on fire.

If the sunlight hits the bottle just the right way, it can set your seat ablaze. A man named Dioni Amuchastegui noticed this happening in his truck one hot day and he took to Facebook to warn others of this hazard.

The thermometer tested his bottle at an incredible 213 degrees. If the beam of light is focused on a vinyl seat and the conditions are perfect, you might find your car on fire this summer. So clean out the trash from your vehicle and have a safe summer.

A Super-Stinger Wasp Was Discovered in the Amazon

As if regular wasps weren’t frightening enough, now you have another insect to worry about. It’s a super-stinger wasp that was discovered in the Amazon by researchers from the University of Turku in Finland.

The Calistoga crassicaudata has a stinger that is almost 5 millimeters long. And the way it lays eggs is really horrifying. The wasp impales its prey, usually a spider, the sting paralyzes it, and the wasp lays its eggs inside the prey. When the eggs hatch the prey dies. Thus is life in the animal kingdom…

What Do Rabbits Eat and Drink?

So, you’ve got yourself a rabbit and you’re asking yourself, what you can safely feed it? Or maybe you’re just randomly interested in what rabbits like to eat and drink. If you want to have a happy, safe and friendly bunny, read on. Water The most important thing your bunny needs is fresh, clean water…and lots of it. Water is the ONLY liquid it needs to survive. Ideally, it should be changed twice daily and served in a ceramic bowl that cannot be tipped over. In warm weather, you can also add a couple of ice cubes to it. Without

Here’s the Proof. Lightning Can Strike the Same Place Twice.

“Lightning doesn’t strike twice.” It’s a phrase you hear all the time, even if someone is not referring to the weather. Well, science says otherwise.

Actually, it’s almost inevitable that lightning will strike the same place twice. As soon as a lightning bolt hits the ground, a new one is not deterred in any way, shape, or form from hitting the same spot again. A good example is lightning hitting tall buildings. Take a look at this video from the tallest building in Chicago, now known as the Willis Tower.

That night the Willis Tower was hit by 10 bolts of lightning. According to storm chaser Dan Robinson, tall buildings are most likely to be hit by multiple lightning strikes.

And what about human beings? Can they be hit more than once? The story of park ranger Roy Sullivan proves that yes, this phenomenon can occur. I remember seeing poor Mr. Sullivan in the Guinness Book of World Records as a kid for his unfortunate encounters with lightning.

Sullivan was a park ranger in Virginia who was struck by lightning an incredible 7 TIMES between 1942 and 1977, more than any other human being on record. So be careful out there during thunderstorms. You may think you’re safe, but you never know…
