And marine populations will suffer. Changes in currents will affect shipping. Overall a disaster.

I wonder if our fisheries or our insect-pollinated crops will collapse first.

  • Plant a garden area with native plants. I have several garden plots across my property and over the years I have been removing all non-native vegetation and replacing things with natives. By keeping the area around my orchard and vegetable gardens all native I have noticed an increasing number of native bees, moths, butterflies and beetles in my garden area, pollinating the things I hope to keep alive long enough to harvest and eat. I have my first good crop of olives this year. I'm pretty stoked.

    You can make a difference by giving native insects and birds a place to hang out, safe from insecticides and other unnecessary afflictions.
