Somerville recognizes that one of the more devastating impacts of man-made climate change is the decimation of our insect pollinator populations like bees, butterflies, and moths on which life depends. Even though we are only 4.1 square miles, there are easy steps we can take to reverse this trend. Eliminating pesticides, restoring habitat with the indigenous plants with which insects evolved, and changing harmful landscaping practices will go a long way toward making Somerville a respite for these important creatures. As the bees thrive, we thrive. Making a commitment to them and the earth is essential to see Somerville into 2040.
