    How do pollinators impact your daily life, and what changes can you make to ensure they continue to thrive?

    Pollinators are crucial for our food supply and ecosystems, impacting our daily lives in significant ways. They are essential for the reproduction of many plants, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts, meaning we would have less food diversity and higher prices without them. To help them thrive, we can create more pollinator-friendly spaces in our yards and communities by planting native plants, reducing pesticide use, and providing water sources.
