New York State bans plastic bags!! Feels good to be a New Yorker today- too bad it didn’t happen 10 years ago.

When thinking about the value of biodiversity- it's important to recognize ecosystems as a whole, as opposed to only the individual species they support. The Industrial Revolution was fueled by coal from wetlands! #ess028

To reverse the rapid loss of species around the globe, world governments should protect nearly one-third of all lands and oceans and slash major sources of pollution by the end of the decade, according to @UNBiodiversity 👉https://t.co/XUYXZtbjzw

The latest research suggests that spraying pesticides to kill invasive species does more damage to the environment than the invasive species themselves. Lehigh's Spotted Lanternfly problem is a great example of this. #ees028 #biodiversityvalue

"Never before has a single species exerted such influence on the planet and the evolution of its inhabitants, or put its own survival in such jeopardy." #ees028 #biodiversityvalue

“If we aren’t taking care of that biodiversity, we really aren’t taking care of the future of our food,” says Ann Tutwiler. A world without chocolate, peanut butter, strawberries, and coffee is not a world I'd want to live in. #ees028 #biodiversityvalue

The largest reliably measured Great White shark was 21 feet long! The shark seen Jaws was 30 feet- obviously an exaggeration. #ees028 #eol

[Catherine Glynn @glynnenviro]

So who is the Great White prey to? Interestingly enough, smaller sharks can be attacked by larger sharks- even of the same species!

So interesting to find as Great Whites age, their teeth shift in order to allow them to eat larger prey. This change happens when they grow to around 8, 9, or 10 feet and begin to eat more mammals, rather than fish. #ees028 #eol

One study on the horizon for the company, led by entomologist Noh Wilson-Rich, studies the effects of vaccines on the hive in order to fight colony collapse. #ees028 #eol

Best Bees Research Company, founded by entomologist Noah Wilson-Rich, is dedicated to raising money in order to fund research on bees. #ees028 #eol
