I managed to get this thing in and out of my car by myself today. I'm sore now.

It's firefly time in Bellingen

* "In the early evening, flashing lights can often be seen cruising around in the forest. These are the little lanterns on the underside of the abdomen of a carnivorous beetle of the family lampyridae. These beetles have been misnamed fireflies. It is believed that the flashing light is used by males and females to attract each other." >>

* Tidy gardens and landscape maintenance equipment unleash a blitzkrieg on the little fairies of the soil. The ubiquitous lawn mowers "mowing the grass" like a military strategy, so no soil micro-diversity shall survive. Line trimmers, debris blowers, chainsaws, bobcats, bulldozers and a dash of chemicals complete the terraforming.

* Fireflies under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and light pollution

Soil degradation - the stuff of life that is called 'dirt'
"Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth."

* The Ig Nobel Prizes: "Franz Bender, Marcel van der Heijden, Atlant Bieri, and Pia Viviani, for burying 1,000 identical pairs of underpants in more than 25 countries and then digging them up after two months."
"The results: Land use was the most important factor. Underpants decomposed the fastest in private gardens, where soil analysis also revealed the highest levels of organic matter. Lawns showed the least activity of soil organisms, with agricultural fields and meadows ranging in the middle. Temperature and moisture levels also affected organism activity, particularly if conditions were too cold or too dry, as did soil nutrient levels. Overall, the authors found that their “underpants index” provided equally meaningful information about soil conditions as the TBI, including chemical and physical properties, elevation, and moisture." >>

* "Soil is a vital resource for plant growth. It hosts a major part of global species diversity and is key for ecosystem functioning and it forms the basis of human civilization. Yet soils are rapidly degrading, threatening food production, biodiversity, and Earth system functioning. This threat is largely unrecognized in broader society, hindering effective steps towards soil protection."

"Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil-related issues is limited."

"Farmers, responsible for the management of vast areas of land, often receive little education in basic soil principles. The lack of relationship between the public and soil leads to wasteful treatment of global soil resources. Increased awareness and targeted action towards the protection of soils are urgently needed." >>

Grow #Food Not #Lawns

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🩲🌱 In 2021, researchers launched a citizen-science project that asked about 1,000 volunteers in #Switzerland to bury #cotton underwear and tea bags in #soil.

After two months, participants dug up the items, photographed the damage, and mailed the samples for analysis. The results showed faster #decomposition in residential #gardens, while #lawns and farmlands tended to be less active.

I am generally an advocate, when you don't have HOAs to answer to as we all know any HOA is the most evil thing on any block, for letting the grass in your lawn grow because it creates a much better ecosystem for animals and insects to thrive in than mowing once a week or whatever.

However, undecided if it is hypocritical that I was getting real pissed that they let the grass grow like almost knee-high in the medians of our street which made tripping or accidentally stepping into a hole or divot much more likely when crossing our busy street.
