“hoppy”? I hope a spelling error rather than a new adjective spawned from the word “Hopkins” :¬)
As in … a beer full of hops…
If only.
This is the new economy for a smallish community, right?
Or perhaps it’s for a post-apocalypse new economy?
Surely it’s not for our existing chaotic global economy?
Perhaps I’ve been reading too many horror stories about climate change. The latest breaking news is that we’re racing toward an average global warming of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius, and may have already passed a tipping point of no return.
And the transition to solar and wind is reportedly more hype than hope.
Oh dear, I promised mom I wouldn’t go all negative again. Forgive me.
If there’s any cheery, fact-based climate change news out their please share it.
