True Bugs

"The Hemiptera are called 'true' bugs because everyone - entomologists included - tend to call all insects 'bugs'. That is a loose term, whereas the true bugs are just those contained within the insect order Hemiptera.

This group of insects is very large, with around 75,000 species worldwide." - Amentsoc: Hemiptera

True bugs include "shieldbugs, plant bugs, bed bugs, pondskaters, cicadas, water bugs, aphids and scale insects." - Amentsoc: Hemiptera

Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation "is an international nonprofit organization that protects the natural world through the conservation of invertebrates and their habitats. As a science-based organization, we both conduct our own research and rely upon the most up-to-date information to guide our conservation work. Our key program areas are: pollinator conservation, endangered species conservation, and reducing pesticide use and impacts."

About This Site

We're still very much in our beginning phase, but have a small, growing team of volunteers gathering the latest developments and (re)discoveries that can help us all spend our time and energy more wisely, as the window to make a meaningful impact quickly draws shut.

Scientists have told us that the time to act is "now or never".

Fortunately our ancient ancestors already invented many solutions that were lost over time, but which are being rediscovered, or even improved upon by modern science. We also live in a point in human history when were have more scientists, engineers, and others collaborating with missions of solving water shortages, reducing emissions, and everything else we need to do to survive the unfolding crisis.

We believe that by gathering examples of and instructions for the many ancient and newly invented solutions into one place, we can help you be a part of the green revolution needed to save ourselves and the ecosystems that keep us all alive. We're working hard to help find things that you can do at home for little-to-no money. Things you can implement at home, work, or school, or that can be done at the civic level.

We don't accept donations or allow advertising, but we do mention and even show some products as examples of existing items/solutions. This generally isn't an endorsement of any specific product or design (though we have tried to stick with recipes and food brands we personally enjoyed), but rather intended as examples of what is currently possible and accessible around the world. Some may even be available in your area!
