I have a question about silicone...it seems like everyone now is coming out with silicone items as an alternative to plastic. But is that more biodegradable/recyclable? Yes, using it cuts down on single-use stuff, but if there such a demand for that, and they make tons of it to fulfill demand, aren't we just replacing plastic with silicone?

"Happy 88th birthday to pioneering British primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall! A trailblazer in the study of chimpanzee behavior, Dr. Goodall is known worldwide for her animal welfare and conservation efforts, and the establishment of the Jane Goodall Institute. She has been named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire and a UN Messenger of Peace. The Jane Goodall Institute, founded in 1977, is a non-profit that works to increase global awareness and understanding about the natural world, and in particular the lives and habitats of primates. To this day, Goodall still travels to Gombe frequently and actively encourages the involvement of youth around the world in conservation work, particularly through her "Roots and Shoots" program."

Sir David Attenborough & Gerald Durrell (7 January 1925 - 30 January 1995) first met in South America over 60 years ago. The two formed a friendship over their shared passion for the natural world.

๐Ÿ˜‡ Rest in paradise ๐Ÿ˜‡

3 April 1934 -- 1 October 2025

Jane Goodall, Ph. D., was born in London, England. She will long be remembered for her groundbreaking career as a primatologist, an ethologist, an anthropologist, a humanitarian, & an environmentalist. She has passed away at 91 years old near Los Angeles in Pasadena, California while on a United States tour. :cry:

"In the final months of her life, Jane Goodall, the legendary conservationist, marked her birthday in a heartwarming celebration surrounded by 90 dogs, each with a unique story of survival. These loyal companions gathered to honor the woman who devoted her life to protecting animals."

It seems like Jane knew her passing was imminent.

Sir David Attenborough has broken his silence following the heartbreaking loss of his longtime friend and collaborator, Dr. Jane Goodall . With tears in his eyes, he said quietly, โ€œI knew something had happenedโ€ฆ even before the call came. It was as if the world suddenly went still.โ€ For over half a century, David and Jane shared a mission โ€” to protect the planet and give a voice to the voiceless. Their friendship went far beyond documentaries and conservation work; it was built on mutual respect, compassion, and an unspoken understanding of their lifeโ€™s purpose. โ€œShe was more than a colleague,โ€ David added. โ€œShe was my compass โ€” reminding me why we fight for nature in the first place.โ€ Now, as the world mourns Janeโ€™s passing, Sir David stands determined to fulfill her final wish: to continue her mission and keep her spirit alive through his work.
