Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

Did you know that duckweed (also known as water lentils) contains bioavailable vitamin B12? 🍀 Some species, like Wolffia globosa (branded as Lentein), have been studied and found to contain active, absorbable forms of B12 (methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin).
