    Got a voicemail today, it was from a little sea turtle, thanking me for helping keep plastic out of the sea and waterways.

    Don't tell my dentist, but I spent a long time not flossing because I realized how bad floss is for the environment. I've since switched to using biodegradable floss made of mulberry silk. Now I can smile with pride!
