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



 
I have discovered my inner Beavis through interpretive dance. I learned it from this tiny ad:
montana community seeking 20 people who are gardeners or want to be gardeners
