Why wildflowers are moving from meadows to the city The amount of green space for wildflowers in the UK has shrunk amid the rise of modern agriculture. But wildflowers are thriving where other plants can't – cities.

This is the same in Canada. City of Vancouver has also studied the difference between mown lawn, not mown lawn, mixed lawn, and an urban meadow. Biodiversity increases from not mowing and most dramatically from adding an urban meadow.

This is why giving your old clothes away is not a solution. We need to consume less - can't just flood the planet with all or trash!

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Its only since reading some posts and articles that I am seeing the clutter and waste of space due to parked cars.

When recycling plastic creates more problems than it solves Measures to curb plastic pollution rely energy intensive technologies that have fallen short of reducing pollution effectively.

india.mongabay.com/2026/04/when... The plastic recycling bin is an illusion. If we lived surrounded by mountains of plastic, instead of shipping it away, we would work hard to reduce production. And everything about how plastic appears aims to make us forget - plastic is an oil product :-(

Its embarrassing and tragic!

Mind blowing!

Except I am tired of speed signs which are understood as suggestions! With signs, more than enforcement, which is sporadic, we need traffic slowing strategies such as roundabouts, road hips and whatever creative ideas are out there.

Try European recipes for precision as ingredients needed are determined by weight. If not available, eyeball it (of course, it requires you to determine what a "normal" carrot looks like!!)
