And, because this slide can become so treacherous, there’s actually a name for it: the slippery slope. The Slippery Slope In critical thinking, the slippery slope argument asserts that a small first step leads to a chain reaction of … [Read more...] about Beware The Plunge: A Four-Step ‘WHOP’ Strategy To Avoid A Slippery Slope Mindset

California's attorney general, Rob Bonta, is taking the fight to the oil and gas industry, but over plastics. His office announced an investigation and issued a subpoena to ExxonMobil over its role in the plastics crisis. Bonta said, "In California and across the globe, we are seeing the catastrophic results of the fossil fuel industry's decades-long campaign of deception. Plastic pollution is seeping into our waterways, poisoning our environment and blighting our landscapes," according to a press release from his office. He says the truth is the vast majority of plastic cannot be recycled and the recycling rate has never surpassed 9%.
