How to Recognize a Robocall
The AARP has put out a short informative article, titled How to Recognize a Robocall, that is worth paying attention to. It discusses four major fraudulent calls most of us are repeatedly getting, especially older adults, whom the scammers deem easy targets. Those calls relate to health insurance, missed jury duty, Social Security being cut off, and a request the person supposedly made to alleviate their pain. Read this article, be aware, and make sure your older loved ones are vigilant when answering the phone.
A New Running Shoe that’s Kind to the Earth
Okay, so I lied. I told you (“Replace Your Cooler”) that I don’t usually talk about specific products. But I can’t help myself because this one from Adidas could be launching a whole new way of making sneakers. Their Futurecraft.Loop running shoe can be sent back after it gets grungy and worn, and Adidas can wash it, grind it up, melt the pellets, and re-form it into a brand-new shoe. The material, thermoplastic polyurethane, won’t languish in the landfill, not breaking down for a hundred years. Learn more about this innovative item at adidas’ FUTURECRAFT.Loop Could Be a Game-changer for Sustainability.
