Thank you for bringing attention to the problem of artificial light at night. We need to reverse this idea that caring about the environment is somehow elitist, because without a healthy planet every single living thing on it, including humans of every circumstance, will be in big trouble. Reduce or adjust lights, and then go one step further and treat any windows that have ever been the site of a bird strike. Window strikes are the 2nd highest cause of human-caused bird mortality (cats, feral and domestic, are number 1). We confuse birds with ALAN, and then billions die in window collisions after they are drawn to lighted areas. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank YOU! It's such an overlooked problem, but man oh man are we in for a world of trouble if bird populations continue to decline. It's so sad and scary how much humans have wreaked havoc on the planet, razing it to the ground and molding it to our will. So selfish and foolish of us.
I'm also a little book freak and have a huge cookbook collection. I sometimes buy new books to support authors, but I never hold on to fiction-- I enjoy putting books in the Little Free Libraries. I agree with you that you just have to own some cookbooks if you like using them! Would love to read a post from you on your favorites...
So i was just reading pizza Friday…..im 5a and are you saying i can direct sow peas and radishes and plant my berry bushes even though it could still get frosty??
I’m in 6a so I would double check your particular location but for us, those are all good this time in April! Cool weather crops like that prefer cooler soil actually. As long as the ground isn’t frozen solid and the soil can be worked, you should be good. Berry bushes are dormant when you plant them and can handle light frosts! ☺️
