The 3 Factors That Determine Wealth (Ben Carlson)

“Being wealthy comes down to some combination of your net worth, spending level and expectations.

Net worth can and will change but at any given time it’s pretty well set in stone for most households so the biggest levers you can pull are your spending and your expectations. If either of those goes too far above your net worth, you could be in trouble.

A large net worth certainly makes your life easier. But expectations are the great equalizer in all of this.”

The Importance of Insects (EDIBLE JERSEY, CAROLLE HUBER)

“Insects pollinate 90% of our food crops. As a beekeeper, I know the majority of our pollination isn’t done by my Italian honeybees, but rather by a much less sexy army of bumblebees, wasps, ladybugs and lacewings. And we depend on these six-legged creatures for more than food. Without pollinators, we would not have most of our trees. Trees produce the air we breathe, and clean it, too. Simply put, no insects means no trees and no humans.”
