2020 and 2024 are important years.

 

They'll see many of America's top technology companies joining this growing sector of the manufacturing economy.

And there's hope. In 2017, the Department of Defense announced $4.67 billion to invest in energy efficiency, research and manufacturing in the U.S., which will help manufacturers reduce their carbon footprint, while also increasing jobs and investment in new technologies like advanced manufacturing.

While these companies will still struggle to find innovative ways to meet the climate-change challenge, these investments and new manufacturing jobs will encourage consumers and businesses to shift toward clean, sustainable manufacturing, even if it means more pollution and energy consumption overall.<|endoftext|>It happened again, this time at the New Hampshire state fair. A bunch of kids were playing around a giant, pink flamingo figurine sitting in a toy carousel. It looked like it was going to explode. Then, as a kid I thought, "It must still be a toy, right?"

They are the hottest of hottest, they're huge, they're ridiculously bright blue/green, they're made out of fire and they come with a giant flamingo that looks like a miniature flamingo. And they are really adorable. Just don't get them in the hands of anyone in public.

There are so many reasons there are so many flamingos. And they are awesome.

The flamingo is very popular, and there are just as many flamingos in Japan as there in the U.S. But here in New Hampshire there are hundreds of flamingos. Some more common here than there in New York state is a smaller, less popular one in Westport, Maine called the "Shiny Big Baby," named for a giant, pink flamingo that is actually a lot shinier.

But here is what you need to
