Happy World Toilet Day!

Today we honor the real MVP of public health: the toilet.

Handwashing? Important. Vaccines? Essential.

But toilets? Toilets are the unsung heroes keeping our communities safe, healthy, and significantly less smelly.

So give your plumbing a pat on the tank today.

It’s doing more for disease prevention than you think. 🧻✨

VA**NG. NOT KOOL.

Looks like a quick way to chill... but va**ng can be a habit that really hard to shake.
It doesn’t help you focus — the longer you’re away from your v**e, the more stress and anxiety it creates.
It makes sports and exercise harder — less energy, weaker lungs, slower recovery.
