Arborists often claim that all-male plants are “litter-free” because they shed no messy seeds, fruits or pods. In the 1949 USDA Yearbook of Agriculture, which focused on trees and forests, this advice was given to readers: “When used for street plantings, only male trees should be selected, to avoid the nuisance from the seed.” In the years following, the USDA produced and released into the market almost 100 new red maple and hybrid-maple-named clones (cultivars), and every single one of them was male.
It took a number of years for these new trees to mature enough to start to bloom, but eventually they did and with them came more city pollen and the “epidemic of allergy and asthma.” Many of these same trees are still alive and well and getting even larger, and the bigger they get, the more pollen they shed.
Allergies are rarely triggered by small amounts of an allergen; they are initiated by an overdose. Small amounts of pollen exposure are actually good for us, but if we have highly allergenic trees or shrubs in our own yards or lining our streets, we will soon enough be over-exposed. In order to put the brakes on America’s allergy epidemic, we need to reverse the trend toward male-dominated landscapes and stop selling and planting any more of the most allergenic trees, shrubs and grasses in our cities.
and the kicker:
Female trees produce no pollen, but they trap and remove large amounts of pollen from the air, and turn it into seed. Female trees (and female shrubs also) are not just passive, but are active allergy-fighting trees. The more female plants in a landscape, the less pollen there will be in the air in the immediate vicinity. By relying less on males and paying more attention to the allergy-potential of all the plants in our urban landscape, all of us may one day breathe easier.
I’m so angry that all the mobile game ads are lying to me. Yes I WOULD like to help the little man escape the shark tunnel but then the app is just candy crush light…. 😔 why must you choose fraud…..
In Yiddish we don’t say “I love you” we say “דאַלוי פּאָליציי” which roughly translates to “you’re my moon” and I think that’s beautiful.
cute!!!
sorry so this is an old joke I reblogged recently based off a meme format from like 5 years ago that I thought my mutuals would still find funny and didn’t realize people would think I’m serious. the phrase above, daloy politsey, actually translates to “fuck the police”
i miss when ppl straight up lied on here. i’m gonna start doing it again. okay so yesterday i saw hannibal lecter in the target bathroom
Please don’t lie. We’ve got enough stupid bullshit going on in Washington, D.C. with the riots, we DO NOT need that useless idiocy here. Not now. I cannot believe people could be so cruel. This is not who we are, America. We are a proud and mighty nation. WE DO NOT NEED WAR. What we need is to start being the glorious, kind America we once were. Please, if you must protest, do it peacefully if you care about America at all.
tenet wasnt good but there was cinematic value in it. nothing nolan wanted to achieve worked and yet the campiness of kenneth’s performance and the casablanca ending…. theres a masterpiece somewhere in there. the modesty blaise of the 21st century
