I would love for this to be true, but who is the Farmingdale Observer to make these claims? A quick search suggests it's a small town American newspaper.

No sources cited in the text, a quote from an "activist". It's not much to go on.



A simple search shows that this is widely reported. Here's a BBC link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57724779


Thanks!


Side note, Farmingdale Observer has gone from 0% to a very significant % of my Chrome mobile New Tab Page suggested content. Very weird out of nowhere news source to show up. I'm wondering what's changed.

I definitely am suspicious of these links, they feel weird to me. Much much worse, whomever Sustainability Times is: they've shown up at about the same time, and man, they trip my bullshit worse-thab-clickbait alarm a lot!

Wondering what's changing with the New Tab Page. Feels like a very big about two months old realignment, major shift. (Also, what is the proper name for this screen?)
