Customer Reviews
You won’t learn much here
Over simplified and poorly researched, this gives you no more information to act on than a chat you’d have in the pub. I’m sure they meant well, but they should have spent more money on researchers to give us meaningful content, not dumbed-down, feel good pap that won’t effect real change. Recycling is a red herring. Reduce consumption. And you cannot do that and have more children if you live in the modern world.
