The impact of light pollution
Light pollution disrupts the vital rhythms of pollinators. Disoriented, insects exhaust themselves around streetlights and nighttime pollination collapses. This also disrupts migration and exposes prey. Fortunately, simple solutions exist: better-directed lighting is enough to restore the darkness nature needs.
The importance of pollinators in our lives
Most of us imagine nature as something that lives far from where we are. Maybe in the countryside, in fields, forests or wide open landscapes. But a huge part of what keeps our ecosystems alive is happening right in front of us, including in busy cities. Pollinators do not care about our borders or where we think nature belongs. They just follow the flowers. Pollinators include bees, butterflies, beetles, flies and even some birds. Their work looks simple, yet it supports almost one-third of the food we eat. Without them, many plants would not produce fruits or seeds. Our diets...

Fall planting also helps pollinators by ensuring early spring blooms and stronger plants. In short, planting in autumn means giving nature a head start for a beautiful, blooming spring.
