12、et store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops. The effect is two-fold.

21、ng to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distacted driving chaimed 3,450 1ives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.

Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for el
