Waste is a human invention.

When a tree falls or an animal or insect dies, it becomes the nutrients for the next generation of plants thereafter. Rocks decay, which helps provide the minerals to combine with the organic matter to create new soils.

Nature recycles everything.♻️ #ResistanceEarth

A gentle reminder not to dump your Halloween #pumpkins in our woods (or indeed anywhere!)🎃 Dumped pumpkins can disturb the sensitive balance of woodland soils. Plus removing the waste costs time & money better spent on vital conservation work. 🌱
Pumpkins belong in your food waste or compost bin.♻️🙏

Explained: Biodegradable vs Compostable vs Non-Biodegradable plastics ♻️
Part of our larger plastics #infographic
informationisbeautiful.net/visualizatio...
Infographics conveys key information about biodegradable plastics which must completely disintegrate via natural biological processes. But most 'biodegradable' plastics only breaks down completely in industrial units. With 50% of plastics currently dumped in the environment, this means many plastics end up polluting nature as microplastics. An infographic explain compostable plastics which must completely disintegrated under composting conditions leaving no toxic materials. Plastics may be biodegradable but not compostable via the two composting routes: home (in a compost bin) or industrial (in special units) An infographic explains non-biodegradable plastics, noting that none of the six major plastic types are biodegradable. This mean many plastics rot, melt and fragment in the environment forming microplastics which pollute oceans and soils, while leaking harmful chemicals like phthalates and bisphenols.

Photo of me wearing my new Dorset Wildlife Trust t-shirt. It's black with an illustration of a Dingy Mocha moth and the DWT badger logo. I'm standing in a sunny garden in Dorchester, Dorset with golden autumn light. Dingy Mocha moth illustration by Delphine Jones. In 2023, Dorset Wildlife Trust was awarded a share of a grant from Natural England to help accelerate the recovery of some of Dorset’s most rare and threatened species. Since then, the Species Recovery Programme has implemented a series of practical interventions to create and improve the habitat for a set of ten specially selected 'Priority Species' across 11 of our nature reserves. These species include the dingy mocha, sand lizard and lapwing. The beautiful illustrations of these species, now available on clothing for the first time, were created by our talented in-house designer Delphine to promote and support the scheme. Thanks to the programme, exciting progress has been made, including the restoration of wetlands for lapwing, targeted coppicing to help encourage dingy mocha larvae and the reintroduction of 75 juvenile sand lizards to Tadnoll and Winfrith Heath. By wearing items from the Species Recovery Collection, you can help spread the word and champion the scheme, while funding vital work to protect wildlife species across Dorset. Which design will you choose? Selfie of me wearing my new dingy mocha moth t-shirt from the Dorset Wildlife Trust. Pic taken inside at night. Cyclophora pendularia, dingy mocha moth. A rare and much decreased species that is now restricted to Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex and Shropshire, the larva feeding on sallow (Salix spp.). In Dorset, the moth is local, at low density, and strictly associated with sallow-rich wetland, specifically, damp heathland and mire on sandy soils across the Poole Basin and unimproved grassland on ill-drained clay soils in the Blackmore Vale. All sites that host colonies contain an abundance of sallow, and larvae appear to show no preference for individual Salix species. Illustration by Delphine Jones.
