    research native plants in your area, and recognize invasives, and plant native plants (KILL YOUR SHITT ASS STERILE BARREN LAWN TO DO IT TOO) all over, including in parks and anywhere you can. You can probably find seeds from naturally growing native plants in local areas and parks and unkempt portions of things without having to buy, but might can buy too. dont take more than 15% of seeds from a given plant (so it can reseed locally) but spread them around. most bugs are evolved very specifically into a niche and need whatever plant or species/genera and cant subsist or reproduce without them. It is base of the food chain. Native plants, evolved for the environment, are very hardy and require very little maintenance if any at all.

    it is one of the simplest and cheapest ways to help and feel good about contributing to making the world better. it is also therapeutic and nice to work with and learn about plants and help them grow and find and learn about the bugs that use them and become reconnected with your local ecosystem. Can give extra seeds you don’t plant to other people in your area too.
