In case anyone's wondering how Jeff Bezos feels about climate policy these days, the Washington Post editorial board just heartily endorsed Trump ripping up the EPA's "endangerment finding," which allows the federal government to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants.

Working at shops must be really weird these days .
It's either watching people do your what your job used to be ( working on tils) or organising deliveries.
Then bring grumpy at the ' weirdo' who does not want to use self service tils
Watching your job disappear
And not being aware of it.

Long term, low level exposure to oil pollution can lead to lesions in seabirds' digestive tracts, internal bleeding, dehydration, starvation, reduced immunity, liver & thyroid disorders, chemicals from oil can be passed on to birds' eggs, harming the next generation:
