It’s safe to say that literally all 2GreenEnergy visitors who read the comments section of our blog have come across professional gadfly MarcoPolo. If you get a chance, check out his response to my recent post on meat made from plant protein (below, unedited). (more…)
I had grass lawns surrounding every house I have owned through the years; they really are, or at least were, a part of the paradigm for homebuilding, at least here in the U.S. and Europe.
