I'm sure my efforts (because we all know it isn't corporate's fault and it's up to each of us alone) to plant butterfly and pollinator friendly plants and flowers will be more than enough to reverse the effects.
Wait. What? The 6 monarchs I've seen won't be enough to rebuild monarch society?
I guess I should guilt and shame myself further and not go all Luigi on Monsanto et all.
That will definitely be better.
I wish your were correct. Same for fireflies. All thanks to fucking corporate greed and are politicians unwilling to do anything. Monsters like Monsanto get to exist. Fuck pesticides. Fun fack is it's use in our crops means this shit in our food and causes us cancer.
