“Local hazards grow as Americans trash more”
From Bloomberg, and Jacqueline Davalos, 27th February 2021: (h/t to the South Shore Recycling Cooperative and its fabulous newsletters. This is from their March 2021 issue.)
What you need to do
Yes, I know, this is from Orsted, a public company which, primarily, builds offshore wind farms. And, as a result, you out there (which is, frankly, an infinitesimal fraction of the world, because, basically, no one follows me), will critique … Continue reading
