Towns and communities become happier and cleaner thanks to these recycling drives. By providing education about environmental protection, we can provide children future the knowledge and comprehension they need to lessen pollution. Anyway, there is a thing I want to share here that is not related to the topic but I hope it is ok.

He was asked the reason for this perplexing action.<br /><br />"I'm making more yogurt," he said.<br /><br />"You fool! Don't you know you can't make more yogurt that way?

But I'm sure the list of government supported businesses that offer promise despite major technical challenges is too long for anyone to list, and if sufficient archives existed, would span millennium.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412324900423436763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36194190.post-60848419755537548522015-07-16T19:15:22.812-05:002015-07-16T19:15:22.812-05:00Actually I was thinking of something more removed ...Actually I was thinking of something more removed (the "origami condom" scam by Resnic, which reaped $2.4 million from multiple NIH grants over a period of 7 years).<br /><br />I gather Solyndra is a bit more problematic from people who claim to be close to researchers at the company. It sounds to me at its most innocent like an innovative product meeting with a failure of adequate marketing and management that took the money and ran. I suspect worse.<br /><br />You know Tesla bought a building formerly occupied by Solyndra? It was one of those moments where I realized today's news trumps anything I can make up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36194190.post-21158809247085619502015-07-16T15:01:47.975-05:002015-07-16T15:01:47.975-05:00You mean like Solyndra?
