Butterflies & moths, sensitive to environmental changes, are vital bioindicators of ecosystem health. Their declining populations have serious implications, impacting animals like bats, birds, & insects reliant on them as a food source.
Roundabouts are a safer and a more user-friendly alternative to traditional crossroads as they do not interrupt traffic flow. Traffic does not need to stop; simply yield, allowing the junction to handle more traffic in the same amount of time. Wait and allow people already in the roundabout to move out before entering in.
Road infrastructure is designed for men - bus step heights & duration of #pedestrian lights for example. Safety is a crucial missing link in road design. Pedestrian infrastructure like foot overbridges & subways tend to be dark, unwelcoming spaces that are unsafe for #women. This International #WomensDay, let us focus on improving & revamping our public infrastructure to be inclusive.

There are an estimated 20 million waste pickers worldwide, who make our lives bearable just by doing those jobs no one wants. Why not try and get to know your local waste picker? You will see for yourself, how enterprising and resilient they are. More importantly, you will see how important the job they do is - without them our homes, streets and neighbourhoods will be reduced to stink and decay. #InternationalWastepickersDay
Described as the most destructive migratory pests, locusts travel in swarms covering 50 to over 100 km daily. Each swarm, having tens of millions of locusts, can consume the daily food supply of thousands of people, posing a threat to the global food chain.
What happens when there are no traffic lights or signs at a crossroads? Before you get behind the wheel, here are some rules of the road to be aware of. Follow us to learn more about the rules of the road. Giving way is not about courtesy, but about safety.
