That sounds like a reasonable compromise. I don't know of other ways to achieve that. I know in the UK that some shops manage online wedding lists in a similar way, so if I were ever in a similar position (which seems unlikely!) I would investigate that option.

Why is it that bee eaters all have to look so visually appealing? Do bees somehow get hypnotised/distracted by the colours and not sense their impending doom?!🤷♂️

They are certainly convenient, but then convenience is what got us into this mess! But anyone attempting to make ethical/"green" choices in how they spend their money is probably best avoiding them. They also bankroll climate deniers and those spreading climate disinformation.

I believe the bit about books, as any scientist using a publisher would have a hard time dissuading them from using Amazon. Perhaps the majority also shop there, although in the UK at least I have seen a number of scientists speak out against them.

Thanks, I wondered what the origin of that story was and had never got around to checking. I guessed it wasn't as simple as the tabloids had made out, but then almost nothing ever is.

I was also struck by a climate and disaster scientist recommending Amazon!😱

I also thought that was one of the most striking images. Amazingly the comments are still full of claims about CO2 being the gas of life and a "trace element", etc, etc. I hope they're mostly AI disinformation bots, as it's even more depressing to think they might be real people.

Wow, see what you mean! I wonder how many were added by AI bots designed to spread climate disinformation and apathy.

Recent #drone photo of my "wildlife area" coming into its autumn mantle. The hedge I laid in February is visible in the bottom left where the five yellow trees are.

I posted this on #WorldWildlifeDay 2020, over on the rich man's toy. It's an annotated drone photo of my "wildlife area". I'm fortunate enough to be able to provide some refuge from the thin flailed hedges and agricultural monocultures that are now all too common. I planted all the trees and hedges.
