Bees are the most important pollinators. They pollinate about 80% of all flowering plants, working hard to find flowers to pollinate. Even the tiniest ones! Yet we indiscriminately remove hives & kill them, instead of thanking them. Let's take care of them. #pollinatorweek #nature #wildlife #bees

Step 1: STOP ALL EMISSIONS Step 2: STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES Step 3: REWILD EXISTING FORESTS Step 4: PLANT MORE TREES IN CITIES After you’ve done all of the above and 99% of forests pre 1500 are returned to forests THEN start thinking about other steps.

1. We need to STOP ALL EMISSIONS 2. We also need to STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES 3. We need to rewild and return the rainforests we used to have 4. We need to plant MANY trees in cities
