This Month’s Issue:
Two articles in this issue feature ways North Carolinians are putting in hard work with an eye to the future. For one, new laws are opening up options for hemp farmers in NC, exploring how the crop can be grown and used. And a researcher with a passion for plastic-free oceans and coastlines is cleaning up our shores, one bottle at a time.
