TxDOT calls on everyone to keep children safe in school zones

So as millions of Texas students return to class, the Texas Department of Transportation is reminding drivers to watch out for kids walking and biking to school to keep everyone safe.

Pollinators

Pollinators

It has been discovered that between 75 percent and 95 percent of all flowering plants in the earth need to be pollinated. Pollinators provide their services to over 180,000 different plant species and more than 1,200 crops. In other words, one out of every three bites of food we eat is there because of pollinators. In dollars and cents, they add $217 billion to the global economy and honey bees alone are responsible for between $1.2 and $5.4 billion in agricultural productivity in the US. They also are responsible for supporting environmental systems that provide clean air, protect soil from erosion, and wildlife from distinction.
