U.K. currency has caused a stir, due to the fact that its bank notes include tallow, which is derived from animal fat. One business in Camebridge has refused to accept any currency using this material.
Editor’s Comments:
OCEAN 36 shares an intriguing collection of environmental topics: A nation's changeover to longer lasting currency hits a speed bump when bills are rejected by a Vegetarian cafe; A good idea for recycling used water from oil companies to farmers has unintended results; We finally have edible bags and in the UK, which we consider the Canary in the Climate Change coal mine, they once again experience flooding of historic proportions. The success of this e newsletter would not be possible without our readers, who share it with their friends.
