      <description>The true meaning of WHATRR is an acronym for “We Have Agency to Restore &amp; Reimagine," to change the world one bottle at a time. Proprietary mixtures in the bottle accelerate the natural biodegradation of the inner green barrier in biologically active landfills and anaerobic digesters as validated by independent certified laboratories using ASTM International test methods. Independent third-party testing has shown up to 59.3% biodegradation in just 365 days in landfill replicated testing, and 85.5% biodegradation in 3.5 years. (ASTM D5511).&#13;

      <description>“Eros: Different, Not Less – A Story About Autism” is a heartfelt journey into the mind of a child who experiences the world through a different lens, inviting readers to see beyond behavior and into intention. Written and illustrated by Nyx Sanguino, a mother, artist, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity, this book was created to shine a light on children like her son Eros—brilliant, sensitive, and often misunderstood. Told through poetic language and vibrant artwork, this book is not just about autism—it’s about perception, patience, and the power of being seen for who we truly are.</description>
