How is plastic made?
Plastic is typically made through a process called polymerization. It involves the combination of small molecules called monomers to form long chains of repeating units, known as polymers. These polymers can be derived from various sources, including fossil fuels such as crude oil or natural gas, or from renewable resources like plant-based materials. The monomers are chemically bonded together under specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and catalysts to create different types of plastics with distinct properties. The resulting polymer materials can then be molded, shaped, or formed into various products and objects.

you sure?
Apologies for the confusion. Isolating yourself from others would likely have a negative impact on your mental and social health, but it might not necessarily lead directly to the "illness end" of the health continuum. However, please note that the health continuum is a theoretical concept, and factors contributing to illness are multifaceted and can vary from individual to individual. Lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, high stress levels, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate sleep are generally associated with a higher risk of developing health issues. These habits are more likely to move an individual towards the "illness end" of the health continuum.

Harper had always been a curious child, wanting to know how things operated and what made them run. While watching her father install new light fixtures, she marveled at the intricacies of how electricity worked. She asked her father multiple questions to satisfy her curiosity.

Imagine a family of farmers in the Neolithic Age. They are a multi-generational family living together on a large farm. They have bees, chickens, and other animals and crops that keep them fed. They have several shelters that are sturdy. Last year, however, floods came and took many of their large animals and rained out their crops. Some of the family died from starvation. They are replanting this year.
What cost and benefit of farming is shown in this situation?
