i often end up with one in my car, office, the bathroom. lately it has me thinking, what does a small piece of plastic doing to our planet. lip balm contains ingredients that aren't good for the environment. because of that, the plastic tubes chapstick come in can't be recycled. instead they end up in the landfill with some of the harmful ingredients still inside. it's time for your climate hack. let's switch it out with cardboard packaging. not only do you avoid the plastic tube altogether, but it is made of natural ingredients so i know i'm not putting anything yucky on my lips or in the trash. heats the payoff? according to ecoroots, 1 billion plastic tubes get trashed each year. think how much plastic we would keep out of the landfill. a lot. follow me at nbc vianey arana.

. >> i kid you not, one time i gathered and found a bunch of chapsticks around the house. i think i gathered eight. we can do better with that, right, kira? . >> yeah. i'm guilty of the same thing. chapsticks, lipglosses. usually in your stories i see them and they're great tips and i have done some version of them already. but this one i have not. so i'm really glad to hear this information. thanks, vianey. back after this. hope you stick with us. me-enhan. get details on this state program. visit right now or call during business hours.

remarkable deal. for less than a dollar, they will deliver an envelope to any address in the united states in a matter of days. of course a letter that took years, well, that would be a problem. but that's not the case with the one that landed in this livermore mailbox. >> i was flipping through and saw this blue envelope. my heart stopped. . >> she calls it a blessing. >> this is from my dad. >> the letter from kim's dad dennis was sent 10 years ago. he died in 2016. >> and i thought how could this be? he's been gone five years. >> it was her husband's name on the envelope. >> i pulled it out and there was a greeting card that was addressed to me telling me congratulations on my new job, which i got 10 years ago. >> there was also a hand-written note, $50 check, and $25 gift card to outbacks steakhouse. the first thing kim did was ask

a local facebook group in anyone else had received old mail. they all said no. but as person after person said they wished they had, kim realized just how special this delivery was. >> it is just one more conversation with dad. how blessed to have that five years later. we asked if they had any idea why it took so long to reach its destination. they didn't. a spokesman said every once in a while the letter falls through the cracks, literally. not until a machine of machinery is moved or building sold is it discovered. no matter how long it's been, they make sure it finally makes it to its destination. >> i cannot fully explain how happy i am for you. . >> while the mystery of the letter remains unsolved, the meaning to kim is quite clear. sending kind and supportive notes was exactly the kind of thing dennis did while he was

alive. being reminded that of all these years later is what turned this letter into a gift. >> you read that note, you hear his voice again see his writing, touch something he touched. it was really special. i even smelled it. does it smell like dad? but, no, it doesn't. >> reporter: garvin thomas, nbc bay area. >> just incredible. still to come on "today in the bay", you don't have to wait much longer to sit in the stands to see the giants and the a's. what teams are doing to ensure fans are safe, next.
