Will you help us raise awareness about #asbestos on #WorldCancerDay? This mineral substance is the primary cause of #Mesothelioma & has detrimental effects on our water & ecosystems. @TheMesoCenter #WorldCancerDay2023 #WorldCancerMonth

Most stormwater drains we see are filled with trash. 😒 We recently shared a removable drain cover that catches pieces of trash & can be emptied into a bin. Of course, this takes workers, $$$ & community buy-in. πŸ’‘ Share your ideas to reduce stormwater system pollution below!

Every little piece of litter (like cigarette butts) that we pick up is another piece of garbage that is NOT eaten by birds & other wildlife. 🀎 #WildlifeLovers

Props to #BrowardCollege for being a leader in the journey to a more sustainable society! πŸ‘ We had a great time revitalizing gardens on North Campus in #CoconutCreek last fall. We'll be back this Saturday 1/21 to lay mulch, plant more wildflowers & maybe even a cactus! 🌡

Meet Scorpion's Tail! Like its name suggests, this plant has flowers on a curved spike that resembles, you guessed it - the tail of a scorpion! In addition its fierce name, it provides critical nectar for many #butterflies, like the imperiled Schaus' Swallowtail. #PlantNative

NASA finds a perfectly cut, trillion-ton rectangular iceberg floating off of the Larsen C ice shelf.
Community note
For context, this was found in 2018, and not recently, according to @NASA_ICE: twitter.com/nasa_ice/statu…

☠️ #PSA: Pesticides KILL butterflies! ☠️ These rare Atala caterpillars were found dead in Miami. They met their unfortunate fate while chowing down on their ONLY food source, Coontie. 😒 Go #PesticideFree for our #wildlife. πŸ¦‹ #SaveTheButterflies #sad #pollinators

πŸ›‘ This is #pollution! Mobile dog grooming services & car washes can send harmful chemicals thru stormwater drains & into waterways. Always use biodegradable, phosphate-free, water-based cleaners. Follow these tips from @EPA: shorturl.at/adIM6 #CleanWater #HealthyLife
