“Insectageddon”: entomologists predict “half the tree of life” could soon be wiped out with our unprecedented “catastrophic” insect ecocide. Amazing article by Tess McClure from the Guardian. Pesticides, industrial agriculture, fertilizers, light pollution, and habitat loss are killers. Will they recover?

This is heartbreaking and eye-opening. 👁️‍🗨️ We often overlook insects, yet they play such a foundational role in our survival. If half the tree of life is at risk, then so are we. 🤔 Serious changes in how we farm, build, and consume are long overdue. Thanks for sharing this 🙏🏽

Chilling stuff. We always talk about saving the planet, but forget the smallest lives keep it running. Once they're gone, it’s not just bugs we’re losing, it’s balance.

If your old enough you remember the bugs getting smashed on your car everywhere you went. Not anymore.

"6th Great Extinction" is no joke. Birds and the bees are trying to tell us, but not many are listening. I'm all in on collaborative superintelligence to try and steady the course of Spaceship Earth.

Small beings matter but we don't know it yet. We can understand what we are doing to the planet when we eat beef-flavored protein pills and mixed vitamin and mineral pills with lettuce, onion, and tomato as burgers, alongside synthetic carbohydrate pills 😔

also a related article from a while ago that probably has contributed big time to this too https://www.noemamag.com/the-war-on-weeds/ i see it all around the perfect short green lawn (i have one too but I am a tenant so can't fix, but planted wildflowers in attempt to make up for some of it and the bees seem to like it haha

I think (and worry) about this all the time. People complain about seeing fewer fireflies, while at the same time, bagging up their leaves and throwing them away, using Roundup on dandelions, and more.
