EU Green Deal Part 3/4 (see what we did there?). Sustainable Industry and Eliminating Pollution. Faffing time is done!
In this third of four episodes, Rich and Carola explore sustainable industry, as part of the EU’s Green Deal? As Carola says, faffing time is done. They talk about digital agriculture, algae, sweat, bioenergy, the textile industry, electronics and reusability, plastics, waste policy, and yes, running naked and other green tips.
