Republican National Convention / Container Farming in the City / Saving West Africa's Last Rainforest
Climate change was barely mentioned at the 2020 Republican National Convention but President Trump did brag of rolling back environmental regulations.
Also, when an oil palm development in the poor West African country of Liberia uprooted indigenous communities, destroying their religious shrines and burial grounds, lawyer Alfred Brownell jumped into action. He was able to get the company to back off, but was forced to flee for his life.
And some urban farmers are thinking sustainably and outside the box by bringing their farms inside the box in the form of shipping containers.
