My wife and I saw this throught England this summer and couldn’t figure out how or why a coffee shop wouldn’t open until late in the morning! We last noticed this in York, a good-sized city.
I used to direct the recycling efforts at a large company with a lot of customers at our physical location. I did a lot of research, took college courses, attended environmental conferences. The best seminar (@ Penn State) I ever attended was given by an expert who was also hired as an expert witness for court cases. One of his specific examples was how the total cost of recycling bottles is more expensive than digging up sand and melting it into new glass. Recycled glass may be useful in other products if it is just crushed and used without a great deal of additional energy input, but to make new glass from it, not so much.
That’s not true about recycling savings and costs! It looks like Ripley’s is joining the rest of our MSM with lies and mistatements when it fits their agenda. Believe it or not. Not!
How ironic!
