Researchers found that Evening Primrose plants responded to the sound of a flying bee by immediately producing sweeter nectar!
This indicates that plants can sense and respond to airborne sounds.

Grow food on farmland, rather than feed and fuel
Ontario could use 41 per cent less arable land by not growing grain dedicated for livestock. Instead, that arable land could directly grow human food crops.

For decades, sustainable & responsible cities haven’t just been possible — they’ve been common sense, logical, ridiculously obvious! And yet we’ve failed to act.

1. I've long contended that austerity doesn't save money. It merely transfers costs from one group (the very rich, who would otherwise pay more tax) to others. Last night was a powerful reminder of that. Before I go further, I should say I’m fine. Just a black eye, cuts & bruises, no serious harm. 🧵
