The theme for this year’s World Oceans Day is “Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us.” The day celebrates the beauty and the mystery of the ocean while reminding us that we need to care for it. As the UN reminds us, “[W]e are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished.

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

🐝 It’s #WorldBeeDay — and a day to honor every pollinator out there!

Remember that bees are a part of the biodiversity we all depend on for our survival. How can we help them? Plant pollinator-friendly flowers. Hang up an insect house for wild bees. Leave your lawn or garden uncut for the month of (No Mow) May.
