I was a math tutor in college, and many of the tutees would come into the tutor lab completely downtrodden, dreading their homework. I found the most helpful thing I could do with them was to focus more on getting them to understand the mot

One thing you can still do is plant native plants. Almost all urban areas are virtually devoid of biodiversity and are breeding grounds for many invasive species which then spread out into other areas and choke out biodiversity elsewhere. I
