Bizar, hoe de overheid truc op truc verzint in het stikstofdossier. De grote vervuilende industrie komt er mee weg. Zo blijft er weinig over van Remkes advies: iedereen draagt proportioneel bij, niet alles kan. decorrespondent.nl/12863/mid…

Photosynthesis is nature’s way of making life from light. Chlorophyll allows a tree to capture photons, extracting a portion of their energy to make the sugars that make it a tree. A tree is a light-catcher that grows life from air.
