They’ve gone to the same place flowers, young girls, husbands, and soldiers have gone, graveyards every one. When will they ever learn? They never will. We know that now. And we know why.
Every few years I reread Lewis's trilogy, and every time it scares the crap out of me. I am horrified at how it is playing out in real time. I doubt we can count on enchanted bears or Merlin.
On a better note, I have loved insects all my life. I am particularly fond of beetles and damselflies. We purchased our half acre on a swamp 30 years ago and have never used pesticides or herbicides but still, the insects dwindle. They cannot fight the mono-green lawns, sterile gardens, and copter-bombed pellets of the city. For a short moment in time it seemed the world was going "organic"- there were even lawn companies that didn't used chemicals...then came the fear fakery and those "organic" folks returned to all their poisons- even embracing them for their kids.
I don't know how I stumbled onto this website, but this was a a bit of writing worth reading.
Really good post. Appreciated. Engaging in this kind of questioning is a good thing. Revolutions are always inner and outer and need to be treated as such. We are treated by leaders we have supposedly chosen who then proceed to blame us for what is wrong. This is classic behavior by mentally unstable serial abusers. We should not be accepting any of this.
You forgot the Hope part - create the habit as a responsible steward, and they will come. It’s incredible how much diversity of insect life shows up even in the first year of regenerative garden planting! Everyone would do a world of good for the health of our planet if we immediately ceased all toxic sprays and applications and planted a pocket of prairie. And the best part is, it’s not hard to do.
In the UK, neonicotinoids are still being used for sugar beet this year... the government pay lip service to saving bees, peat bogs and wildlife (yadda yadda) but still allow carcinogenic shite to destroy it all. Mental.
So, as I'm solution focused, what am I doing to help?.....
A wildlife pond, native species of hedging, planting bee friendly everything in the 6m x10m small garden and on the 10m x 12m allotment I've just been preparing (using the Charkes Dowding No Dig method... bless that man).... if it's not native and good for insects, I don't plant it.
Have a look at Arthur Furstenberg re EMF's.... frightening.

agreed agreed. though if you really need a reunion with the fauna you can join me in the canoe this spring. there's enough bug action to seriously challenge your sanity. bonus, you'll eat pounds of them accidentally! paddling a 40 mph cross wind becomes a relief and the approaching shoreline a horror show. lol! wheeee! can't wait.

With you on this.
