How COVID-19 led to the greatest environmental experiment in history
"With more than 1 in 5 people now in lock-down worldwide, including strict regimes in the vast majority of major metropolitan areas, the world has finally been given the opportunity to assess the effects of the reduction of human activity on the global environment.

'breath of fresh air' change their minds?
Cheers!
