Each year, an estimated 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide, with billions ending up as litter. In an effort to change those statistics, a college student is turning one of the world’s biggest wastes into a way to save lives for those living on the streets. “Me and my mom have lived through this," says Nataani Silversmith, who is homeless. "Sometimes our signs say 'blankets,' not even 'spare change.'”While blankets can help protect people from Mother Nature’s fury, there’s nothing as strong as a mother’s love for her child. “My life, I would give my life for my son,” says Nataani's mother, Lily Silversmith. When Lily saw her son cold and shivering on the streets of Salt Lake City, they had to find some way to keep dry and stay warm. “There were times when the cardboard would get soaking wet, but these would still be great, just fine, sturdy as can be,” Nataani says, pointing to a mattress made from recycled plastic bags. “And they would dry off in about an hour, rainstorm, no matter what.” Nataani is referring to Bags to Beds, a product from a pending non-profit that turns plastic grocery bags into sleeping mats.“They didn’t give us a dime and we didn’t ask for one. They gave it to us,” Nataani says about his experience with Bags to Beds. “Thank you, Bags to Beds. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank for saving me and my mom’s lives.”Bags to Beds started at the University of Utah campus, where a now medical student had the idea of turning plastic bags into beds. “I found out about how many people freeze to death in Salt Lake specifically every year; it’s over 100 people who freeze each year sleeping outside," says Kaitlin McLean, creator of Bags to Beds. "And I couldn’t wrap my head around that."McLean started this project as a way to reduce waste, while also finding a way to help the homeless. Already finishing and handing out more than 100 Bags to Beds, McLean’s hopes to have another 100 ready by this winter. “Our goal is to make it so these resources are so widely available," she says. "That if a person needs a bed they can get a bed and to also reduce waste to the point where we don’t have plastic bags in waterways and killing animals." 2204

Children's museums around the country are speaking out against inhumane treatment of migrant children in US detention centers.Following a call to action from the Association of Children's Museums, museums in Indiana, New York, Massachusetts and other states have pressed for more humane treatment of immigrant children and urgent action from politicians."Through forced separations and inhumane treatment in overcrowded, unsanitary facilities, the United States is denying children their basic human rights," said the Association of Children's Museums, which represents museums in all 50 states and 19 countries."What really drives children's museums is a deep passion around making the world a better place for children," ACM Executive Director Laura Huerta Migus told CNN.She added that ACM got involved because of concerns from member museums and because poor treatment of young migrants is an issue that threatens the well-being of children and causes trauma.The association also called for a more permanent policy effort to ensure that inhumane treatment of immigrant and refugee families does not continue in the future.The Children's Museum of Indianapolis echoed the call for better treatment, posting on Facebook, "We stand with our colleagues in the children's museum field in our belief that all children are valued citizens."Neighborhood North Museum of Play in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and Kidzu Children's Museum in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, shared the statement and added that they "hold inclusivity and equity as core values."The concerns about the treatment of migrant children follow recent reports of unsanitary conditions and overcrowding at several US Customs and Border Protection facilities in Texas. CNN reported that a team of lawyers, doctors and advocates found what they called major health and hygiene problems at detention facilities, including a lack of soap, limited access to showers and a shortage of beds.The children's museums' outcries are not the first time the museum sector has gotten involved in issues surrounding migrant detention facilities. Earlier this week, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History inquired about obtaining disturbing drawings by migrant children that depict figures with sad faces behind bars.The American history museum told CNN it hopes to preserve drawings made by three children recently released from US Customs and Border Patrol custody in McAllen, Texas, as part of an effort to document history as it unfolds.Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Sunday that 350 migrant children remain in US Customs and Border Protection custody -- down from 2,500 last month. 2684

Eli Manning, champion of two Super Bowl titles, retires from football after 16 seasons with the New York Giants. Manning won Super Bowl MVP honors following the 2007 and 2011 seasons. Manning is just one of five players in NFL history to win two Super Bowl MVP awards. He also earned Pro Bowl honors in 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2015. Manning was the first pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the then-San Diego Chargers, who he repeatedly warned up to draft day not to select him and refused to play for the team. After being selected by the Chargers, he was immediately traded to the New York Giants for fourth overall pick Philip Rivers.Manning started every regular season game for 12 seasons from 2005 through 2016. From 2015 through early in 2019, he only missed one game. But early in the 2019 season, after losing three of the Giants’ first four games, Manning was benched in lieu of rookie Daniel Jones. Despite the rough finish, the Giants paid homage to Manning's career on Wednesday. "It meant something to Eli to be the Giants quarterback, and it meant even more to us," said John Mara, the Giants' president and chief executive officer. "We are beyond grateful for his contributions to our organization and look forward to celebrating his induction into the Giants Ring of Honor in the near future." 1314

Doctors are reporting that people infected with the pandemic virus may lose their sense of smell and perhaps taste. The World Health Organization is looking into it, but some experts are already saying that changes in taste and smell might be a useful tool to screen people for infection. They cite reports from South Korea, China and Italy. Virus infection is already a known cause of smell loss, and in some cases it can be permanent. But in cases of the pandemic virus, it looks more like a temporary effect. 524
