    Pollinators are like the base of life in a way. Without them, most plants wouldn't be able to reproduce and live, and with most the vegetation gone, herbivores won't have much to eat, so they will die off, and then omnivores and carnivores will starve too. PROTECT POLLINATORS.

    I can make sure to follow Leave No Trace rules when I am out in nature, have a garden of flowers supporting bees and other pollinators, and not spraying chemicals outside on plants or animals.

    I'm grateful for the Earth's resilience and that it is giving us a few more years to change our lifestyles to save it. Also, I am grateful that it gives us everything we need to live.

    As an introvert, connecting with other people is not as necessary as it might be for extroverts, but it is very grounding to have conversations with people outside of your household and allows social diversity.
