“In a normal park, we estimated there were about 30 species of wild bees,” says Jens Ulrich, a former University of British Columbia (UBC) PhD student who worked with the city between 2021 and 2024 to study the meadows’ ability to attract wild #bees and hoverflies. “In a park with a meadow, we saw that number jump up to something around 60 species per park – per year.” #rewilding #vancouver #bc #pollinators #meadows #parks #urbanrewilding #insects #canada

I'm going to need help to find free or very low cost, safe accommodations for me & my brother, when Mom starts getting surgeries in Vancouver. That likely won't be until next year because liver transplants aren't as easy as kidney transplants. Please boost. Thanks. #Vancouver #YVR #Cancer

#Bike #Vancouver #BC Mobi bikes make 2.4 trips per day, & that it takes 18 bikes to remove tailpipe emissions from one gas-powered car Through this, they found that 54% of Vancouver bike share trips would have otherwise been done in a car, reducing about 298 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year That’s pretty good, but if those bikes were used eight times a day, it would only take five bikes for every one fossil fuel car & reduce tailpipe emissions by more than 3% https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-bike-share-climate-benefits #climate

They've made us all monsters. How does this not crush everyone else too? #cdnpoli #canada #fascism #antifa #antifascist #bcpoli #vancouver #burnaby #canlab #bcgreens #bcndp #ecosocialism #genocide #freepalestine #palestine 2/2

Yes. And frankly, there is something monstrously wrong with anyone who has 1+ living children, of any age, who are not terrified for all Palestinians. At the very least, out of fear, how can we have such a lack of empathy. How can we not be crushed by the indifference, the evil of indifference, of casual genocide. #cdnpoli #canada #fascism #antifa #antifascist #bcpoli #vancouver #burnaby #canlab #bcgreens #bcndp #ecosocialism #genocide #freepalestine #palestine 1/2
