We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but microplastics are woven into the everyday lives of many Floridians.

If you’re a Pennsylvania boomer—or any American boomer—you probably learned some skills in class that felt like a big deal at the time. You sharpened pencils by hand, practiced perfect cursive, and hoped the filmstrip wouldn’t break halfway through science. There were no tablets or smartboards.

Floridians love a good spy thriller. Secret documents, hushed conversations, and plots that seem too wild to be true. It’s the stuff of Hollywood. But sometimes, the real world outpaces the movies.
