Support Pollinators

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife

Why is it important to take care of pollinators?
Crystal Peirce 4/15/2020 11:05 AM
Pollination is one of the many ecosystem services provided by nature. Without these ecosystem services, we would not be able to have the same standards of living as we currently do. Pollinators provide an invaluable service for our agricultural industry, as well as providing food and habitat for a number of other living these. It's important to provide food for our pollinators so we can help build a strong network to keep them fed, well, and active.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Fresh Water

How can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?
Crystal Peirce 4/15/2020 11:00 AM
Water conservation is an important part of planning for the future. We have low-flow shower heads, take shorter showers, and do not leave the water running. We are on a community well, so hopefully our neighbors are also taking part in these water saving measures as well.
