Methane emissions, I assume. (Solvable with 2% seaweed in the diet) Also possibly rainforest destruction for crops, but I'm not as sure about that.

You usually get stuff for 1/10 to 1/3 the cost. The counter is sometimes you have to do a refund. If you have more money than time, then don't buy from them.

The font is bigger in your first example, the text uses twice the space (or your screenshots are different resolutions?). I greatly prefer it because it's easier to read. You could zoom out if you want, I guess. But you could move the

Unfortunately about linen, they often "cottonize" it to use on cotton machines. They just chop that long fiber into short ones, negating much of the benefit. I haven't figured out how to tell the difference.

The current government of the USA could not create a similar vehicle. Washington State would hand it off to some donor (like previously Inslee appointed a donor to ESD which then lost a billion dollars to scammers when covid hit) and the fe
