Yeah, supposedly pollsters changed their algorithms to be more accurate after 2016. And 2020 polls were pretty accurate. But leading a poll when you’re still within the margin of error where you can lose isn’t really worth anything (that’s what happened to HRC). You can lead the poll but the poll can still be accurate to you losing.
Things growing in the water would be an issue. And highly treated water will damage your skin. There’d also be a chance of drowning every night. You could mitigate with a dry suit but that kinda ruins the point.
Reducing what gets into the water supply is still helpful. Rather than just letting all go into the rivers and oceans. At this point the clothing and so much material is already made/being made. Microplastics are going to be a thing for a long long time. Anything that can somewhat mitigate it is good. Reuse of a thing is pretty much always better than trashing it, at least environmentally. And never making/buying it in the first place is even better.
And yet other pictures of famous people in these textbooks were/are in color. There is a visual discrepancy in presentation and it misleads the viewer (children in this case) in a way they may not even realize for years or decades after. Whether this particular discrepancy is purposeful or not it is problematic.
This is probably one of the most egregious reasons that civil rights photos are in black and white in the textbooks despite color cameras having been a well-established thing by then. To make it seem like it was long ago when it was/is still quite recent. RedliningYour textbooks are made in Texas and the publishers therefore use Texan standards nearly everywhere…Educational material should not be made in red states.
