sez we have hardly any bugs this year. I imagine the city still has its roach allocation, but they are not known to pollinate anything.

Anecdotally, just based on our back yard census, my wife and I have noticed the same decline over the past 20 years we've lived at our current home.

There was a time when we couldn't leave the back door open because of the influx of insects. The past few years, we can prop it open for hours without any noticeable home invasion.

I remember whenever we went on a long trip, you had to clean your windshield when you got gas. I haven't needed to clean my windshield in decades.

As we all know, if bugs die off, we all die off.

Big Ag wants us to believe that pesticides are not the culprits but I think even they know they are lying to keep profits rolling in.

Permaculture, using beneficial insects, and small local farms are a few of the answers.

Buy local and organic whenever possible.

Great local produced food and less packaging. The only red meat I buy is lamb and goat. Grass fed and local.

as urban areas like inner cities are hardly ideal grounds for insects to thrive.

Need just one model of car, the same year, at lots of different locations, to begin with.

did not have a windshield washer function. I kept a squeegee and sponge next to my driveway with the hose, and anytime I drove for a while at night it was automatic to clean the windshield. No need to do that anymore.
