I love this planet including its plants and animals, far more than humans. Today is a good day to start valuing them! #EarthDay - ThreadSky

Same. My neighbors are probably annoyed that most of my yard is still covered in leaves. It’s still chilly here in MI and my spider bros are still hiding along with my toads.

Yeah I hear ya! I think about insects too and their habitats. 🐞🐛🐜🪲🕷️🦋🪱

What is the one on the left I have it in my garden and never got a name for it - thanks😀

I believe this is a variety of Sumac.

Don’t mow everything, leave something for pollinators. Dandelions are not your mortal enemy.

Compost stuff: food scraps and other yard debris. You can use it on a garden.

Don’t harm animals. They have a right to live. Relocate them if necessary and be responsible about attracting them. #EarthDay

I argue for the first mow of the year to wait until at least early May, to give pollinators and insects time to hatch.

I try to do my part: recycle, have an EV (not Tesla), solar panels, don’t eat meat. I like to give things away rather than putting them in the trash. People need things.

Corporations need to step it up. They’re having the biggest impact on the planet. It feels good to do something. #EarthDay

I lived in an apartment for almost two decades with all kinds of rules. Even then, I had container gardens with lights and took walks to enjoy nature.
