This Week on Home Improvement…

Randy has found his new topic for the school paper: what local companies are doing to clean up the environment. Tim suggests writing about Binford, but when evidence turns up that Binford is one of the top 10 local polluters, the article takes a different slant than Tim anticipated. After Randy confronts Bud and calls Tim a sell-out, he writes a Pulitzer winning article that changes the course of environmentalism and ceases climate change in its tracks, forever saving our planet, the benefits we still receive 25 years later. Thank you, Randy.
