The world's botanic gardens have evolved from medicinal gardens to scientific institutions. They hold 41% of all cultivated plant species – but that’s not enough to stop extinctions. It’s time for a smarter approach | Prof Samuel Brockington

Billions paid out for wars and death, but nothing for those that are struggling to live - going to work isn't just about earning money. It is being social with colleagues and keeping your mind positive. Being ill is often painful, isolating, always expensive and very depressing.

The layers of double-think go far beyond the polar opposite presentations of powerful states invading their neighbours

Establishment media depictions of international affairs are now so riddled with hypocrisy and double-standards that every day seems to require new levels of double-think to keep up
How much double-think can you handle?
It's impossible to accept establishment media narratives on Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, and Syria without resorting to mind-bending levels of double-think.

Our early winter garden before the snow hits it!
Pwerful phrases – “I can handle it”, “Let’s find a solution”, “No excuses”, “I respect your opinion”, “I believe in myself”, “I’m grateful for…”, “I’ve learned from my mistakes”, “I don’t know”, “Let’s agree to disagree”, and “I’m proud of you” – are not just words, but reflections of character.
