Biodiversity 35. Parasites are beneficial to the species and the planet. 36. A lawn with dandelions is healthier than one with only grass. 37. Because of rabies, bats and foxes are more dangerous than useful (& the same applies to cats). 38. More than 25% of all vertebrates are at risk of extinction due to Homo sapiens. 39. Destiny USA, cars, industrial farming, coal-burning power plants, plastics, cosmetic surgery, petroleum, wars over petroleum & water, and obsessing over your electronic gizmos or who wins a football game all increase social justice, biodiversity, and sustainability.
