However, one of the first to do so was Craigslist, and it looks like they’re still going strong.Back in the day, you could get your hands on anything on Craigslist, including some stuff that was not only naughty, but illegal, but in recent years they’ve done their best to clean it all up, but that doesn’t mean that I still do not find strange things on the site.When you go to Montana Craigslist,…
The move to net-zero emissions has the potential to create more jobs than will be lost, but will require active government intervention, according to a recent report by the UK’s Committee on Climate Change (CCC).

These new jobs would be in low-carbon sectors such as building refurbishment, renewable energy generation and electric vehicle manufacturing, the CCC said, adding that the transition is “an opportunity for growth in high-quality jobs, spreading opportunities across regions of the UK”. The transition to net zero emissions will “transform the…
