What’s a Pollinator to Do?

March 4, 2024 by Marion Leave a Comment

What’s a pollinator to do when toxic pesticides are used in their living area?   That’s a question we are deeply concerned about in Media, PA.  We are a Bee City and a Bird Town, so we care very much about biodiversity.

Ground Level Ozone: The Silent Health Threat

January 2, 2024 by Marion Leave a Comment

Have you noticed that air quality alert days are increasing in our area?  We need to take these alerts seriously.  The alerts include ground level ozone, particulate matter (2.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers), carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and wildfire smoke.  All these pollutants are harmful to our health, but I will focus on ozone in this blog.
