It’s the middle of summer! It’s time to kick back, relax, and take a vacation. Go out and enjoy the blue sky, green grass, golden sand, pink bug bites… Oh, and the big, black debt hovering over your head and burning your skin like an angry, wicked sun. Yes, if you’re like many people in the news this week, you’re learning that your actions have consequences. That, or you’re still blissfully unaware of your huge mistakes—and with weather like this, it’s probably better that way. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to this week’s heavily sarcastic edition of Weekly Sustainability Facts!

Get ready, get set, know!
