Natasha and I went through the design together and made a number of small tweaks. In particular we removed the responsive line-height in favour of a fixed one at all screen sizes.

<h1>Why co-ops?</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p class="large">Co-operatives are businesses in many sectors and
|
||
in many sizes, but with one crucial difference: they are owned and
|
||
democratically controlled by their members. That means people in
|
||
the business, not external shareholders, set the direction and
|
||
share the value.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>CoTech coops are worker-owned co-operatives, meaning that the members are the workers. So the people delivering the projects co-own and control the business together.</p>
