The population of monarch butterflies is at its lowest point in 20 years--all of them on the planet able to fit now into three football field--because the pesticides used in Canada and the USA have decimated milkweed, its food source.
Milkweed used to grow along fields and in between crops, but no longer. Factory farming permits NOTHING to live in the fields (including our own honeybees) but one crop. This is insanity.
If you live in an area where milkweed grows, please be a good steward of the monarch butterflies and let it thrive.
