Green Sack for Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (BPAC.OB)

It’s interesting that economic change creates urgency in so many areas. Even our train of thought and habits are affected. What society did during what used to be considered “normal” economic conditions was not to think about how the little things can adversely affect the planet.
