Distro Issue 97 Made in the USA edition

The first week of July for those of us here in the States brings a barrage of cookouts, cold beverages and patriotism. In fact, we’ve dedicated the entirety of this week’s double issue to the good ol’ US of A. Crammed into the pages of this e-magazine is a first-hand account of the struggle to construct America’s most sustainable city, a survey of developments in stateside manufacturing and much more. Eyes-On packs into some US-made bags, Weekly State tallies STEM job growth and IRL returns with more of our everyday gadgets. We’ll be taking next week off to recover from the feast of hot dogs and impending firework burns, so be sure to swipe this edition to tide you over until our return.
