[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are ways to mitigate climate change. First up, stop mowing your lawn so frequently (or at all). Stop using herbicide, anything with "cide" in it. Tear up that Mosquito Joe contract!! Replace your lawn with native plants and create a pollinator garden. (Call Miss Utility first though!) Insects are under threat everywhere and they support the whole food chain. A truly interesting read is Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse by Dave Goulson. He's in the UK but much of it is relevant to the US. (And he does advocate voting for the Green party, but as PP pointed out, that could backfire in the US.) Plant more trees. Even with a small yard, there are lots of native trees that are smaller. Farming practices need to change throughout the US. Still, if homeowners throughout the US convert from grass yards to biodiversity we could start a negative feedback loop against climate change. Don't sit around being discouraged. Do what you can, start now.[/quote]
Yes, all of this. We can always take our power back and mitigate disaster.[/quote]
