Who cares about our beautiful butterflies?

The myth regarding Green thinking and sustainability!

The development of eco-friendly vehicles and machines has progressed quickly in recent years, so there’s really no reason not to use electric garden equipment in municipal areas. It’s not just about avoiding the harmful emissions from petrol and diesel—it’s also about the positive impact on overall noise levels that comes with using electric machines.

Some butterflies, including the monarch, have been on the verge of extinction. But the efforts of conservationists to protect them may now be showing positive results, in California USA.

Large cities and towns have for many years been pressured for environmental reasons to create more and larger green areas for the population, in many cases influenced by environmental activists!

The use of mechanical garden equipment such as lawnmowers and trimmers has increased dramatically in recent years. Unfortunately, most of these machines are still petrol‑powered, and their impact on nature is far from harmless. The exhaust fumes they produce kill countless insects directly — butterflies included — and this loss triggers a wider chain reaction throughout the entire ecological system.

Many insects that live in grassy areas, spread pollen from flowers and are also food for small birds, this is a natural passage, which has been disturbed by pollution. A simple solution to this problem can be to use only electrically powered appliances and vehicles, in addition, these have a much lower noise level which also affects nature . This is one positive result that has been seen in California after the public has responded.

How can we now influence politicians to think in this way to improve a small but so significant part of nature? It is not just the heavy #COP decisions that are important for our earth.
