Cigarette butts are polluting the ocean more than plastic straws — so why not ban these? Cigarette butts, which easily find their way into the ocean, contain plastic in the filters that are not biodegradable.

Is it a plastics problem or a recycling problem? I see the pictures of plastic waste in the ocean and it breaks my heart, and it should. But, what I don't hear about is how much plastic has changed our lives for the better.

PSG had a fantastic time bonding over our painting class at Studio 614. Martha was amazing – super friendly, a great instructor, and she helped us do our own thing if we wanted! We didn’t just take home our awesome paintings – we took home our memories of a lovely evening at Studio 614. It was a real privilege to paint here, and we hope to come back again!
