Toss coin

Priorities. That's what our lives ideally should be organized through. Do you eat your breakfast and forget about getting late? Stay in a company, earn money, and climb up the corporate ladder? Or leave for another country, study, start anew and expand your horizons?

The same is need in our environment and biodiversity. With the millions of species and hundreds of them on the brink of extinction, which one do we save first? If you have the rest of the world shrunk to the size of your back yard, and you only have once chance to save a small parcel of your lot, which one do you choose? Your corner of wild orchids or the pine tree center piece? If you have come to a decision, your neighbor might ask, why did you did you choose such? Your other neighbor might ask (you have nosy neighbors!), how do you protect it? And when your parents-in-law visit, they ask, what do you have the money to protect it? Finally (hopefully!) the local authority asks, when will you start protecting it (you live in a nosy neighborhood, actually)?

And if I pass by and see your garden, I might ask, did you see your neighbor's backyard? It's clean off the weeds you are growing!
