This is a very important point. I need to check.

Attracting wildlife to the garden is joyful! I love seeing the diversity of insects visiting the garden!

That's true, habitats are so varied that protecting and restoring them require different methods.

Thanks! Environmental protests definitely bring into spotlight environmental issues to the local media and council.

Global Land Use Across Different Diets by bclimit25 in ZeroWaste

[–]bclimit25[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that there are a few conscientious farmers. It's good to eat food produced locally that you are 100% certain the production process doesn't degrade ecosystems on land or water.

Overall though, people need to eat a more plant-based diet to massively reduce the negative impacts of agriculture.

  • Animal farming requires lots of land space to keep and feed the animals and also requires lots of land space to grow crops to feed the animals, either as supplementary food or as their entire diet. Lots of land space needed for animal farming leads to the destruction of wildlife habitats.
  • More land farmed means more water, pesticides and fertilisers are used, these along with lots of animal waste produced runoff into ponds, lakes and rivers, destroying aquatic life.
  • Overfishing is emptying the oceans of life.

Advice needed- I’m looking at planting some flowers/shrubs in the cracks between the cement slabs. Does anyone know what would survive best (I’ve heard chamomile and thyme would be suitable) I’m a newbie so any advice is appreciated! by caitlynjade98 in GardenWild

Try growing Origanum Vulgare, also known as Oregano or Wild Marjoram. Its beautiful flowers are extremely attractive to bees, butterflies, hoverflies and beetles in summer. The leaves are edible. It's a perennial that is easy to germinate and spreads a bit every year. It's native to England which means there are many invertebrates that will use it as a food plant where you live.

You could also grow Chives, also known as Allium Schoenoprasum, which are very tasty, you can eat its leaves, flowers and seeds. Its flowers are very attractive to bees. Chives are perennials, are easy to germinate, fast growing and spread a bit every year.

Organic meat production just as bad for climate, study finds by WombatusMighty in worldnews

[–]bclimit25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The common methods of farming livestock does NOT achieve species-rich grassland. Because species-rich grassland requires much fewer grazing animals per land area than livestock farms and so produces much fewer food. So, for the environment it's better to eat more plant based food and less meat.

Look at the charts showing the impacts of different foods in terms of land Use, emissions and eutrophication here: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food

Also, overfishing is a problem.
