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!
This mean that mechanical equipment such as lawnmowers and trimmers has been drastically increased. Unfortunately, petrol-powered equipment is mainly used, which has contributed to a sharp reduction in insects, including butterflies. Exhaust gases from these machines are directly killing many insects, which also causes a chain reaction in the 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.
