Description
3M will stop making and using “forever chemicals” by the end of 2025, amid growing concern from governments and the public that the substances can cause serious health problems.
This month, parents across the country have been attending various year-end recitals, but the privilege of seeing their little ones scamper in the spotlight is pricier than ever.
A nationwide ban on the production and import of some single-use plastic items, including grocery bags, cutlery, straws (remember those?), and takeout containers is now in effect.
