Whether your outdoor space is a large garden or a tiny apartment balcony, you can plant plants that are native to your part of the world. For those with lawns, you can reduce or eliminate the lawn and replace those areas with native plants. The result would be a greater sequestration of carbon by those plants, and increased support for all forms of life, including birds, insects, pollinators and other animals. Another benefit is we would use less water, and our water would be protected from pollution from fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides which are widely used to maintain lawns and non-native plants.

Doug Tallamy is co-founder of the Homegrown National Park, a nationwide project that encourages everyone to plant natives and eliminate, or at least reduce, lawn areas. You can be part of this project and in the process become a conservationist, and part of the solution to climate change.

My lover, my dear Francesca 
This love was meant forever
But you drowned in polyester
Yeah you drowned in polyester 

The calling, they said whatever
Not until we're gone forever
They'll drown in the polyester
They'll drown in the polyester

Disaster on the TV
Turn it off and then you'll be free
You'll still drown in polyester 
You'll still drown in polyester

Stop turning, they want you spinning
Dishonour and endless winning
Forlorn in the polyester 
Forlorn in the polyester

More polyester

I pushed the can to the end of the drive. Someone take it away.
Out of sight, out of mind, living the lie.
Slowly, slowly, watch it die.

Buy it, then use it, then throw it away, so easy to replace.
That seems to be the American way.
Slowly, slowly, watch it die.

Just make more, then throw it out. Isn’t life so fantastic
Trash goes in, and trash goes out. United States of plastic.

Just order two, and then store one away. You’ll use it soon enough.
That seems to be the American way.
Slowly, slowly, watch it die.

Just make more, then throw it out. Isn’t life so fantastic
Trash goes in, and trash goes out. United States of plastic.

INTRODUCTION

Lundi 17 novembre, 500 personnes ont surgi au petit matin pour bloquer l'usine de BASF à Saint-Aubin-lès-Elbeuf, en Normandie. BASF, c'est l'un des quatre plus gros producteurs de pesticides au monde ! 

Le site normand n'a pas été choisi au hasard. Des substances actives interdites dans l'agriculture française sont produits sur le site. C'est le cas du Fipronil, une substance interdite en France à cause de sa toxicité. Pourtant, le Fipronil continu d'être exporté "principalement aux marchés brésiliens (canne à sucre, soja), nord-américain (termites), japonais (riz) et européens", peut-on lire sur la page d'accueil du site internet de l'usine normande. C'est ce qu'on appelle le "colonialisme chimique". Une pratique dénoncé par les organisateurices : la confédération paysanne, la via campesina, les faucheuses et faucheurs volontaires, cancer colère, le collectif de soutien aux victimes des pesticides de l'ouest et les soulèvements de la terre.

Les différentes organisations appellent d'ailleurs à multiplier ce type d'actions sur le territoire. Une carte des différents sites industriels de BASF a récemment été publié : https://lessoulevementsdelaterre.org/blog/carte-des-sites-de-pesticides
