Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23230) 20 Jul 24

Rains make the ecology look green. Farmlands in the east are already green. Most of the crops grown look green like paddy, spinach, to name a few. The grasslands also look green. There is a new look once it rains. There is new fun...

A new ‘friend’ moved in!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 4 Nov 21

I have a lot of house plants and here on my desk is a magenta-flowered pelargonium. For a few days I have noticed there seemed to be specks falling off it onto the table, but didn’t pay too much attention, until today I suddenly...

What happens if you’re too soft-hearted

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 18 Oct 21

As you probably noticed by now, I’m interested in wildlife of all sorts and generally believe in letting things be, as much as possible. Well, I’m currently in the process of renovating an old house, which has been taking a long...

Interesting life all around!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 16 Oct 21

I’m currently renovating an old property, and the other day I found this dead insect on the windowsill there. It’s rather a fearsome-looking creature, over an inch long, and I’ve never seen anything like it before, and neither...

Put the dead mole in the freezer!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 14 Oct 21

Today I was just walking across a field when I found a dead mole. Just lying there on the grass. It looked quite fresh and there was no sign of any injury or struggle. It wasn’t decomposed at all or even smelly. It even...

What do insects do when it rains?

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 14 Sep 21

Have you ever noticed that there are few insects flying when it’s raining? Obviously if you are a small fly and you are hit by a falling raindrop that’s going to have a big impact - literally! But where do they all go? While in...

A new experience for me!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 25 Jul 21

On Friday I joined a local conservation organisation to go on a ‘glow-worm walk’. I have never seen a glow-worm. I’m sure I remember my mother recalling seeing them when she was a child, but that was in the 1930s before cars or...

Cruise ships starting up again

Anne User @AnneUser (22) • United States 14 Jun 21

It's been over a year since cruise ships were allowed to sail. How do you feel about them starting up again? Do you think cities are better off without cruise ships? Do you think it has such a negative environmental impact? Venice...

Nice to see things are changing

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 27 May 21

The other day I stopped at a motorway service station - in the UK, on motorways there are no places to stop except these special ‘stations’ where you can buy food, use the toilets, get fuel etc. Mostly they are just a large...

I forgot my handkerchief!

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 8 Oct 19

Does anyone today carry a handkerchief for blowing noses and wiping hands dry? We still do in Japan, especially the "older ladies". When I first came nearly forty years ago, you needed your handkerchief to dry your hands. Now they...

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 7 Oct 19

This morning I was dead heading my dahlias in my front garden when a lady from up the road passed by with her Jack Russell. I often stop and talk to her and make a fuss of the dog and this morning, while we were talking, our bin...

My First Lupin

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 22 Jul 19

Although I've only got a small garden I desperately wanted lupins but usually they're so tall and take up a lot of room but I managed to find some dwarf ones. This is the first one of the season and is a very pale yellow. They...

Unusual animals that have eaten out of my hand in the last month

The Horse @TheHorse (238268) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Jul 19

When I took my recent road trip to Iowa, I had a good time at a rest stop in Wyoming. There were prairie dogs who were quite used to humans, and I got some to take bread from my Subway sandwich right out of my hand. Today, I went...

Can Wind and Solar Energy Replace Petroleum and Nuclear?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 24 Mar 19

It takes tons of steel, plastic and copper to build a Wind Turbine. This either has to be mined or made from recycled material. Either way, it takes a lot of energy to produce. Add to that the fuel required to transport the...

I just watched the most beautiful baby turtles!

marguicha @marguicha (230331) • Chile 18 Jul 18

I am not going to take a nap. I am not sleepy. But I got into my bed because there my knees are not as painful. Cold is not good for my joints. I turned on the TV and I zapped it until I got Nat Geo Channel. A man in Cuba was...
