I thought this recent alarming You Tube video:

What the Disappearance of Insects Means for Humanity and the Earth with Oliver Milman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3auCYkPpoc&t=9s

seemed likely to be of interest to some permies,

He talks about modern monoculture farming as major culprit in dangerous decline of insect numbers. Diverse home gardens are good, ironically making most cities better places for insects. Also "untidy", "messy" nature- fallen leaves, rotting logs  etc best for insects



 
Yeah. What he said. Totally. Wait. What? Sorry, I was looking at this tiny ad:
