I saw something like this in covington, Kentucky just south of Cincinnati. Apparently there is a small movement https://www.freeblockbuster.org/

That being the name of the book and not a snide comment :)

Mostly it's money for the consumer. I have a Prius so it might be a little different. But when the hybrid battery goes out costs something like $7,000 to have it replaced. A mechanic in town will repair it for $1000.

Now my car isn't worth $7000 so if I had to replace the battery then I would just get a new car and this one might end up in the scrap heap. In getting it repaired I have gotten something like 6 more years out of it, at least, and that's a pretty significant environmental savings.

And that's essentially what the article is saying.

I mean, it's two definitions for the same word. And it looks like mammary secretions is the older version, I think. Additionally, personally that is what I think of when I think of milk. I think of almond milk as an emulsion of almonds that approximates milk and I think most people agree with me.

That said, I am not going to confuse almond milk for milk unless they just straight up call it milk.
