$5.9bn = the amount spent annually on protecting and restoring forests

$409bn = the amount of subsidies going to agriculture industries destroying forests

Anyone else see the problem here?

What frightens me most about Halloween cobwebs isn’t how they look…..it’s that they catch the living.
Enjoy the season, but keep the plastic webs indoors; or skip them altogether.

The Speckled Wood is unique in its ability to spend the winter as either a chrysalis or a caterpillar 🐛💤

Letting your grass grow long and leaving some dead plants is a great way to support this beautiful species throughout its lifecycle.
