PERFECT!

Maryland just cleared the shelves of the deadliest pesticides and became one of the first states to tell big-box garden centers that selling nerve agents to homeowners is no longer a business model. The state completely banned the consumer retail sale of neonicotinoid pesticides, pulling these systemic toxins off shelves and out of suburban garages where they have sat next to fertilizer bags and hose nozzles for two decades. Neonics turn every treated plant into a lethal vending machine from root to bloom, killing bees that crawl across sprayed lawns, butterflies that sip contaminated nectar, and birds that eat poisoned seeds, and for years the consumer market has been the unregulated pipeline that flooded neighborhoods with ecological warfare disguised as lawn care. Maryland looked at its backyard bee populations crashing and its Chesapeake Bay watershed absorbing chemical runoff and decided that the right to a green lawn does not include the right to collapse the food web. The ban means homeowners can no longer walk into a hardware store and buy the stuff that causes colony collapse. Landscapers and farmers still have regulated access, but the weekend warrior with a spray bottle is cut off. Nurseries are shifting to biological controls. Garden centers are rethinking their spring displays. And the yards that emerge under this protection are safer by default: clover returns to lawns without neurotoxins, milkweed draws monarchs that survive the visit, and kids and pets roll on grass not soaked in invisible poison. Other states are watching because Maryland proved that the fastest way to protect pollinators is to stop letting untrained consumers buy the chemicals that kill them. Shelves clear. Bees thriving.

As Nature Intended wouldn't exist if it wasn't for my darling Monty. He's the result of researching canine cancer for over 15 yrs.
He's been raw fed since 4 weeks old. His resilience is twofold, and he's truly my everything.... most of all my teacher

Did you know? Ever wondered what happens when your dog gets overly enthusiastic and distracted by something?

My Monty's gets quite aroused when he sees a kangaroo jumping away. Its only happened once in 3 yrs, and he was stuck in his arousal state for the whole walk.

When stuck in a highly aroused state, a dog's impulse control is suppressed. During these intense emotional times, the dog's sympathetic nervous system activates while cognitive flexibility decreases.

Dogs who often appear "stubborn" during these exciting times are actually experiencing impaired executive function due to over-arousal rather than deliberate disobedience.

Discover how impulse control games can help your dog:

The legendary broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough turns 100 today! 🎂

His recent film Ocean with David Attenborough documented the damage that destructive bottom trawling can do to our ocean.

Shockingly, bottom trawling is still allowed inside about 13 million hectares of our Australian Marine Parks. Right now, we have a rare opportunity to change
that.

As we reflected on the incredible impact Sir David has had, one thing stood out most of all.

A voice for the ocean

This time last year, his film Ocean with David Attenborough premiered in theatres across the world.

In the months since, we have been lucky enough to host community screenings around the country. We even co-hosted a screening for some of Australia’s most influential politicians in Parliament House, Canberra!

The impact of the film cannot be overstated. It was screened in over 1,700 cinemas worldwide, is one of the most streamed documentaries in recent years, has been cited by politicians who are pushing to protect our ocean, and has generated mass coverage in the media and on social media.

But it also revealed something shocking that is happening beneath the waves.

Bottom trawling in marine parks

In the film, Sir David documents the reality of destructive bottom trawling.

“It smashes its way across the seabed destroying nearly everything in its path.”
– Sir David Attenborough

The footage sparked a wave of support for banning bottom trawling inside marine parks.

Bottom trawlers, acting like underwater bulldozers, pull heavy gear back and forth across the seafloor. It scrapes seabed habitats, damages deep-sea coral reefs and sponge gardens, and can pull up enormous amounts of bycatch. It can take marine life and habitats decades, even centuries, to recover from.

Shockingly, bottom trawling is still allowed in 13 million hectares of our offshore Australian Marine Parks – that’s an area almost twice the size of Tasmania!
