Hello Everyone and thanks for listening to my podcast. This episode is about the recent bans on plastic straws that are occurring throughout the US. This whole drive was started by a sea turtle in costa rica who had a straw up his nose! OUCH! Thanks for listening, please follow my podcast and rate it on whatever platform you are listening on.

Thank you for listening to today's podcast! The number of rhinos poached is compared to genocidal rates for a population. Sadly, so many believe this is an affective cure for cancer because of some rumor. In reality, the consumption of rhino horn does virtually nothing. Join in the effort to create awareness about how the rhino horn is NOT a cure for cancer.
