2023-04-22
We humans can be very destructive in this world. If we’re not killing too many fish and animals for our use, we’re abusing plants, wildlife habitat, clean air or clean water.

Be bee friendly
2023-04-21
The world is run by bees. Not in a literal sense, mind you, but in a very real way life on this planet is made possible by the work of bees and other pollinators who ensure that new flowers and plants are able to grow and thrive. In return, we have air to breathe, fruits and vegetables to eat, and beautiful spring meadows to enjoy. Bees, however, are in trouble. According to many different organizations, including the David Suzuki Foundation, The Bee Conservancy and the Canadian Wildlife Federation, factors like decreasing habitat space due to land development, the use of neonic pesticides, and the growth of invasive plants are all contributing to a crisis in the insect world, including bees and other pollinators.
