A dream collaboration between 2 wonderfully evil #corporations, working hand in hand on the future we now live in:
"Is everything of plastic? - Almost!"
By the age of six, many children already have negative feelings about the word “chemical”.
Ask the average person what a chemical is, and they’re likely to tell you it’s something bad. Products advertise themselves as “chemical-free” – an assertion that makes no scientific sense (since everything in the world is made of chemicals) but resonates with the consumer."
The locks toward Haigh Hall are deep. Their massive gates weigh more than a tonne each. A number of the gates have chains and pulleys to help boaters open and close them.
To share the work, I asked another boat to pair up.
Quite a few of the #locks are covered in a lush, living carpet of #vegetation (see photo).
I am constantly amazed that the older folks around here aren't all dead of chemical-caused cancer, given how much Roundup and pesticides are applied to their yards. (These folks pay for monthly chemical dousing, even if there are NO PESTS to apply those chemicals too -- we call it the Visit From The Merchants Of Death). #chemicals#mutagenesis#pesticides
