    Having a baby should not mean losing your job, but it did for me — and at the worst time I could imagine. Right now, Congress has the chance to pass a bipartisan bill called the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which would ensure no other pregnant worker has to go through what I did.

Plus, bottled water is one of the biggest sources by which we ingest microplastics. https://t.co/m7xOOTEiMD https://t.co/1zA6jYt63x
