I don’t think there’s a thread like this with info to share. I saw these at the vet urgent care and had no idea the pavement could get so hot on a pleasant day!

They’ve done warnings similar to these on our local news. But sometimes we need more information than one reminder

Booties would be another option. Normally you think of them for dogs in winter, but they’d help a lot for summer too if there’s no accessible option for low-temp pavement walking.
Routes that avoid asphalt are definitely on my mind when I’m doing dog-walking stops at my job.

Apparently many “green” laundry strips and also dishwashing/detergent pods are full of plastic that go into our water systems 
I had been thinking about trying out Tru Earth recommended by a friend but it has polyvinyl alcohol in it.
Also, I have to share this somewhere, from that thread where this info was shared:
Summary
The original post was someone asking about laundry strips to handwash undies in one of the wool groups. One person responded that she buys cheap cotton undies on Amazon and throws them away after a day or two-- and added that this is a hill she will die on-- I am so horrified that I am speechless but I’m not about to get into an online confrontation about it. How is this an appropriate response to someone asking about what soap to use to handwash underwear?!
