Happy Earth Day

Albert Einstein famously predicted that if bees were to cease to exist, ­humans could last only four years after the last bee died.

A shocking estimation, but these pollinators truly make our ecosystems work.

What’s frightening is that the world’s pollinators, predators, prey, vegetation and oceans that we rely on for food, oxygen and water are at risk.

Which is precisely why Metro is dedicating this year’s annual Green Metro to the topic of biodiversity — a term that, quite simply put, means the vast variety of plants, animals and natural resources found on Earth.

Like bees.

So read on — and plant a garden. Ride your bike. Remember the oceans, the bees, the worms — they are your neighbours … and our heroes.
