I learned something most interesting last night while eating sushi with my boyfriend’s parents. Being so moved by my recent article about eco-friendly lab coats, my boyfriend’s scientific father told me a little eco tid bit, and I was most intrigued. So, I thought I would share my current eco-fact with all of you (cross your fingers I’m not the only person who didn’t know this.)

Most every U.S. adult has an upcycled item on their bodies daily. Can you guess what it is?
