That’s because you’ll be ingesting too many particles of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), the hazardous chemicals that leach from the ultra-durable plastics we’ve created for about the past 120 years. Earth is officially past its safe zone for plastic contamination. “Based on the latest U.S. guidelines for PFOA in drinking water, rainwater everywhere would be judged unsafe to drink.

No phones, no instant communication from farther than shouting distance.

Start a Local Project | USA National Phenology Network If you are interested in what’s happening to plant and animal populations in your community, either on a seasonal or long-term basis, turn your interest into a valuable community science project. Nature’s Notebook is a great tool for answering questions about the timing of plant and animal life cycle events. Local Phenology Projects (LPPs), or organizations which engage the community in phenology monitoring exist to explore bud and flower break, pollination, fruit harvest, leaf fall, and more. These projects are emerging at schools, parks, and nature centers across the country and are an excellent way to teach observation skills and conduct hands-on, experiential and place-based education. Science or outreach staff or volunteers leading Nature's Notebook efforts at LPPs are known as Local Phenology Leaders (LPLs). There are many different ways to get started, from training others, to creating a phenology monitoring group, to starting a phenology trail in your town. Set Up a Group Site
