It might help us to concentrate on what really matters like climate change, loss of bio-diversity, stinking pollution and above all trying to keep our numbers in check because…[Read more]

There haven’t been pigeons welcomed in Trafalgar Square for decades for the record …
How about doing the same with for the monkeys who are decimating life on Earth, changing the climate, polluting everything and turning on each other on a regular basis?

Wild bees actually pollinate far more crops than the honey bee but are somehow being left aside because people don’t harvest their honey (or at least for most species). In fact honey bees compete for food with the wild bees, yet most beekeepers know very little about how…[Read more]

We are all fighting for habitat and the Human animal has spread itself extremely, some would say too widely, having stupidly relied in a charter on being responsible in its…[Read more]

Not that I don’t like dogs but keeping them actually harms our living world.
Did you know (or care to know?) that a dog uses about as many resources as an SUV? Having just come back from the States I noticed that SUVs are everywhere so obviously no-one much cares about the resource use of an SUV, I know.
