Update from The House of Plague, Day 51 (Environment)

no title

From this evening's walk. We are extremely lucky to live right next door to a nature reserve, and (thanks to going for a great many more walks than usual) we are actually discovering new places, after having lived here for... 15 years? 16? Anyway, it seemed fitting since I thought I'd throw links about the environment at you today. :)

At least it's a bright spot right now.

And the events may not be as directly connected as the documentary suggested but the problem is increasing.
