I remember reading pages of yellow-spined National Geographic issues as a kid, and marvelling at the photos, the stories, and the natural world.

De producent is naar alle waarschijnlijkheid Valma, sinds 2017 onderdeel van het bedrijf Service Best International. Valma produceerde slotontdooier onder eigen merk, voor huismerken en ook merkloos.

Plastic is everywhere—in our food, water, and even our bodies. But what worries me most is what we are doing to our kids and grandkids. Scientists are finding tiny plastic particles in places they never expected, and young children are especially vulnerable. #plastics #plasticpollution

The biggest turtle threat at the beach is often by the walkway. Pick up litter before wind or rain sends it into storm drains, then into turtle habitat. Small cleanup, real impact.

A 5-minute beach sweep can prevent turtle harm. Pick up wrappers, line, caps, and loose plastics before you leave. Safer shoreline, fewer hazards.

Balloon and lantern releases create litter and #plasticpollution in landscapes and seas that can harm the environment, wildlife and livestock. Celebrate special occasions and loved ones by planting trees, wildflowers, or bee and butterfly gardens instead!
