Elmo is "checking in" again as part of a new mental health initiative on "Sesame Street"
Back in January, beloved "Sesame Street" Muppet Elmo logged on to social media platforms to see how folks were faring at the start of 2024: "Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?"
With responses about break-ups, unemployment, rent increases, and more, Elmo's mental health check-in opened up a national conversation about mental health and how important it is to look out for one another.
Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper.
That felt like way too many, so this brand created luxury 3-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end TP, but doesn't harm trees.
Why bamboo? It's the fastest-growing plant in the world, growing 100x faster than the average tree. That means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it would take a single tree to grow back.
Biodegradable and always 100% plastic-free, they deliver straight to you.

Once unhoused himself, a man in England has provided housing for hundreds of others right in his home since 2020
With a long criminal record for "mostly petty stuff," Stuart Potts spent much of his life up until now in and out of prison — and for a period, he lived in a tent by a canal in Manchester, England.
That background gives him a uniquely personal understanding of other folks experiencing homelessness — and has led him to do what he can to help make a difference.
Alongside a healthy criticism of systems and cynicism toward authority figures who "lack compassion" — Potts has just as many heartwarming stories to tell about someone helping him out when they didn't have to. Now, he's doing the same.
From his one-bedroom flat, he's let "hundreds" of people experiencing homelessness come and stay for free with just a few ground rules: no hard drugs or violence, and everyone helps with housework.
