We respectfully call upon @USGBC to update #LEED requirements for effective prevention and mitigation of building/window collisions. A building neither green nor sustainable when actively harming wildlife. We look forward to working together on a solution.
FLAP Canada@FLAPCanada

Here is an open letter, signed by various concerned groups and individuals, that has been submitted to LEED with comments on the current draft version v.5. This letter suggests standards for bird collision deterrence that LEED certified buildings would need to adhere to.

John is truly an inspiration for those confronting challenges. He struggles to breathe and eat, yet walks almost every day . He maintains hope and positivity. A model for us all. #FuckCancer

I live in a body that can betray me without warning, lungs that may falter, strength that may slip. Food no longer passes my lips; a tube keeps me alive while pain keeps me humble. In the quiet hours when fear knocks loudest, I stand in the only power I have left: the choice to continue.

@John_Dabell Can your gp advocate for you? Can PALS help? The consultant’s secretary? Palliative care team? This is NOT RIGHT. Sorry to shout but if i wasnt a thousand miles away i’d love to come and make a big fuss myself. Wherever you are….

I waited 5 weeks to have a RIG feed. Yesterday it was abandoned mid-procedure. As I went in as an out-patient, I now have to be referred again by my oncologist and I will have to wait weeks again. If I was an in-patient, it would be done today. What a crazy, backwards system.

@John_Dabell Oh welcome home, John! Gosh that's such a tough roll for you and for your wife who also sounds amazing. I'm sure you'll work out a good routine. Some good sleep with the quiet and dark willl do you a world of good I'm sure. Big bugs to you both!

I'm back home now, which, of course, is brilliant. I was struggling on the ward. The realities of being nose fed and having a lung drain are huge, though, so there is an enormous burden on my wife as she is now effectively my full-time carer. There is so much I can not do yet. Today has been exhausting. Getting used to life at home again is a transition as I have only known constant noise and artificial light 24/7 for 2 weeks. The darkness and quiet last night were amazing. Thank you for all my messages, and sorry for not replying, but I'm too tired. Much love ❤️

I'm now in hospital with a collapsed lung which Docs are unable to drain. Without an op, the infections will kill me. Op is tomorrow am. My family and I need your love, support, shares and help more than ever. Thank you. I will update further when I can. gofund.me/41874cbe6

Just saying I'm really not very well at the moment and utterly exhausted. I won't be posting until I have better news or responding to your lovely messages as I have no energy. Apologies but I'm not in a good place.

For the last 20+ years, this 200y/o Georgian house has had ALL its grass cut regularly. Since moving in at the end of March, I’ve now chosen my paths & have started the long journey of turning this 1 acre plot into a haven for #wildlife. Here’s to a #NoMowSummer 💚

That Bird Guy!@JeffreyMWard·
Common misconception. A bell doesn’t reduce the number of prey that cats catch. If you care about your cat, the constant jingling of the bells can cause them stress. If you have predators in your area, the bells can possibly alert predators to them. KEEP. YOUR. CATS. INDOORS.
Oh Hi Mark@ColoradosMark

@JeffreyMWard Or, you know, put a collar with a bell on them.

Did you know if you have a pet euthanized, in some states, you can’t take them home to bury them bc it’s 1. A risk for animals to scavenge them & 2. It’s a risk to ground water & plant life as euthanasia solution never degrades & just leeches into the ground eventually
Blue Ridge Wildlife Center@BRWildlifeCtr

When euthanized animals are improperly disposed of, animals like scavengers (including eagles!) and pets, are put at risk of being poisoned. If you’re a veterinary professional, shelter worker, pet owner, or landfill manager, please watch this to prevent this from happening again

@ElvisPDavis1 Thank you… I’m so relieved for that family. But also so angry this wasn’t done immediately. It’s crude and cruel. Thank goodness Premier Kinew got into office and supported the search. 🧡

Happy holidays everyone! Had a lovely visit at @owlsnestbooks today. Bad news is they are sold out of Julya’s calendar. The GREAT news is it can be ordered in for the new year! Yay! Support a fabulous local artist and a fabulous local bookstore with one purchase!
