Sample
Congrats, you clicked on my WIP post and now you see how I’m gonna link to blogs. This page has all posts tagged “sample”, which is only this one. Have a nice life and stuff.
Hydraulic Fracturing Video Outline
For my advocacy project, I’ll be doing a video on hydraulic fracturing. I’m not planning on being in it or necessarily having anyone at all in it. Including actual humans makes things somewhat complicated. I’ll try to include mostly nature … Continue reading
