More than four out of every five Americans are concerned about the environment, wildlife, and conservation, a new poll shows.
Additionally, 72% of Americans say they'd rather vote for a political candidate who supports protecting wildlife.
Why are basically no politicians paying attention to this?

A year ago this soil was spent. I've worked in compost made from seaweed, chicken and cow manure, oak leaves and bracken. Now it’s rich, organic and full of life. It’s taken time, but it’s ready. Looking forward to planting into it next spring. #homestead 🚜🌾👨🌾🌿
