Roundup's days are numbered anyway because weeds are evolving so rapidly to resist it and other herbicides.

Did you know snail farming is called Heliciculture? These Helix pomatia gastropods have been raised for food at least since the time of the Ancient Romans.

With the success of #10000trees2015 and the #Pawpaw Project, I’d like to see the 30,000+ followers of this blog plant 30,000 trees in 2016.

Make sure to find a place where you are allowed to plant trees, and where it won’t disturb local infrastructure; often national parks and nature preserves have tree-planting programs. Research which species are native or threatened in your biome, and do your part for their conservation.

A tree can absorb 27 kg of Carbon Dioxide a year; one large tree can provide a day’s worth of oxygen for four people. [x]
