As communities continue to grow, scientists and environmental organizations are paying closer attention to a lesser-known environmental issue: light pollution. While outdoor lighting improves safety, visibility, and security, excessive or poorly directed artificial light can disrupt natural behaviors in wildlife, affect migratory patterns, alter ecosystems, and even impact human sleep cycles. From bright residential floodlights […]

Homeowners, schools, parks, businesses, and community groups are replacing portions of traditional lawns with native flowers, grasses, and plants that provide food and shelter for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other important pollinators.

Trees are natural air purifiers one mature leafy tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and release enough oxygen to support two people. Trees also communicate underground through a network of roots and fungi known as the ‘Wood Wide Web,’ sharing nutrients and sending warning signals about pests or droughts […]
The ocean is a hot mess. No, not in a literal way, but in the sense that it’s a huge, constantly moving system of currents that transport heat from the equator to the poles. This global conveyor belt is what keeps our planet from having extreme temperatures. Without it, we’d have an even hotter equator […]
