This #wetlandwednesday, I'm reminded of why I write. These ecosystems deserve the world's attention, and not just when they're being drained to build someone's "dream home" (which is a bad idea anyway). πŸ™„πŸŒŠπŸ”œπŸ‘ This month's edition of Peatmail also covers the good news - like the unionization of federal workers at Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks! πŸŒ³β›°οΈπŸŽ‰ If you're interested, please subscribe 😊

In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids, which means rich families had to make sure the schools the kid went to were good, which meant the rich were prompted to invest in public schools. Finland, take a bow.
