RE: My Actifit Report Card: June 5 2019

They have been spraying in Vancouver for Japanese beetle, I guess they can be rather hard on vegetation but I worry too what effect the sprays have on the desirable pollinators. Then there is all the herbicides and pesticides used in monocultures. We would do a lot better with free range pastures, very few inputs and a much smaller death count.

I don't know when we are going to understand to mimic nature and not destroy it.

After all that doom and gloom. Beautiful green shots, LS:)

It was interesting to me, to hear on the video that spraying for mosquitoes kills them and their predators. The mosquitoes recover within a few days but the predators take much longer to breed and don't recover so fast. So you end up with a worse problem and have to spray even more to control it.

A lot of things seem to be really changing rapidly.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the photographs.
