Thé bounty is given if you comment and get some upvotes from me.
Let’s say I set a 3 steem boy tu and 4 people comment, I upvote 3 at 0.01$ and not the 4th. Then each of these upvoted comment will get 1/3rd of the reward so 1 steem.
Don’t know if I am very clear 😂

Oh cool. I read the article on making all farms organic and how it would cause more greenhouse emissions - seemed like a load of bull!!! But it’s science, so I guess it’s real - and I did read it through the California lense and here we tend to export food instead of import it.

Thank you for this nice comment.
I totally agree with you, stop the hysteria ! Companies and people are doing a LOT of things to help on many issues. I prefer highlighting those than be consumed by panic.
Have a great day !

You should use the tag of naturalmedicine or lotus on post like these. They are into this type of info over there.

I did not know that baby wipes had plastic in them. I wonder how that works.
