A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

🌱🌿 Five Things You Can Do To Save the Butterflies:
1. Stop using pesticides and herbicides (unless you're trying to manage aggressive invasive species). Everything else I list will be designed to attract life to your yard and that's pretty pointless if you kill them after they arrive.

I guess we already knew the numbers were bleak, but it’s hard when you see it in print. A 22% decline in 20 years … we need to grow larval host plants, eliminate pesticides, and so much more.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Lesser celandine will be showing itself soon in my area. This is one of the top worst invasive plants we have. I don't know if those bluebells exist anymore, this was taken a few years ago in a nearby park. Bluebells normally grow in massive patches.
This is why invasive species are devastating.

🚨 ACTION NEEDED 🚨
We really need each of you call your House Rep and urge them to stand up for the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
IMPORTANT— On Wednesday, House Republicans on the Natural Resources Committee are calling a sub committee meeting to “evaluate the ESA”.
