Hesari kirjoittaa, miten Suomi varautuu kevään lintuinfluenssaan. Toissa vuonna lintuinfluenssa lähti leviämään turkistarhoilla.

Turkistarhojen aiheuttamalle pandemiariskille ei siis kerta kaikkiaan ole vaihtoehtoa, sen kanssa pitää vain elää…? 🤷‍♀️🙄

Enää ei tarvitse miettiä, onko koko vientiteollisuus + Energiateollisuus Suomen kunnianhimoisen hiilineutraalisuustavoitteen 2035 takana. Tässä julistuksessa se sanotaan selvällä suomen kielellä.
