Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff.
When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything.
RTs appreciated here.

- you like,
- you can afford,
- you can find a job,

- you feel safe, and
- you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse
is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes.
So maybe don’t be an asshole.

“Seeking a highly motivated X”, I’d forgotten this part of job ads on social media 🤦🏽♀️. Where do they hire “non highly motivated”people? Also why must they be highly motivated. Is just motivated not enough? This hyper excellence is ruining our mental health. Sigh
