What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

The word 'excess' seems unnecessary...

I'd argue any amount of fiberglass found in sealife is excessive. It's not exactly a natural material.

You trying to tell me I’m not supposed to eat small quantities as part of a healthy diet? Wait, this couldn’t be related to me coughing up blood daily, could it?

The cotton candy in the attic is unfortunately not the best for you I'd say, as appetizing as it may look. I am however not a doctor; could very well be the secret to a long and prosperous life. I'm sure you're just coughing up the extra blood you don't need anymore.

I always found fiberglass to be one of the coolest materials and it's my understanding that it degrades very very slowly, I'm quite surprised by this.

Wow there are a lot of typos in that relatively short article.
