I love this post on so many levels! I've been a "butterfly farmer" here in Central Texas for several years and have noticed a dramatic decline in common species this year. No Swallowtail cats and no Gulf Fritillary, which he had hundreds of last year. In addition, I read with elementary students who struggle to read and love the story about the program for them there. We do small things, which I worry aren't enough. But the worst possible alternative is doing nothing. Thanks for a great read.

Thank you, Janice, for your comment and for your good work. Pete Seeger had a song that insisted, “2+2+50=1 million,” meaning our little individual acts can in sum become huge. It’s up to us.
