I'd love to know what "sustainable" is supposed to mean with reference to tents.
A "sustainable" roster is one you can keep doing without collapsing with fatigue. A sustainable crop rotation is one that does not wreck the soil long-term. Is a sustainable poppy pod one that you can live in long term then? Or one that doesn't foul the earth it stands on? I suppose it had better be as it is apparently here "in perpetuity" That's a heavy burden, maintaining these things for EVER. But perhaps that's just hyperbole.

Why on earth does it need to be stated that it is "accessible"? It would be fuquall use to anyone if it wasn't.

Mining all those rare earth metals in appalling and environmentally uncontrolled conditions in the 3rd world makes it "environmentally friendly", does it?

I'm sure the facility is a good thing, but the guff used to describe it makes a mockery of the English language.

Isn't it a shame the way we so abuse our language in this silly way?
