  I must ask the shoes on people: at what point in the house do the shoes get removed?

  I’d expect that you wouldn’t want them in the bedroom or bathroom, getting gravel or dirt in bed. Is it that the main living room for entertaining guests is shoes on, and shoes off is for personal rooms? Or do you have a specific set of indoor shoes? Or do your outdoor shoes go everywhere?

  I think a lot of the countries that wear slippers got classified as “shoes on”. I have family in the Caribbean and South America who wear slippers, but never their outdoor shoes.

  In my opinion they should be called “shoes off” or at least their own category to differentiate from places that would track mud and gravel throughout their house

  It definitely would in rural areas. And aside from birds, it’s helpful for the insect population in any backyard to have the lights off.

  Plastic straws were a drop in the bucket, but rather than going back to them, we should be taking more steps forward (ex plastic cutlery, disposable cups, etc). I’d rather see baby steps forward than throw in the towel because the problem is so big

  I went to an alligator themed tourist attraction in Florida years ago where a man would hover his hand inside an alligator’s mouth - he claimed that if you don’t touch their palate, the alligator’s bite reflex will not be triggered.

  Now this man had about 4 fingers on both of his hands combined, so take from that what you will…

  For anyone in NE North America, our native Golden Alexander plant can be eaten in a similar way and tastes quite a bit like broccoli. As a bonus, it’s a host plant for black swallowtail butterflies, so it’s a wonderful addition to the garden!
