Plastic Packaging and Foodware: Threats to Human Health
Thank you so much for this wonderful talk! I'm inspired to determine the differences between the sparrows that visit my feeders.
I'm a Missouri science teacher. Can I have access to this slide show to use with my kids when we study Missouri Natural Communities?

Thank you for the education
Are there areas where a person can go see these different grouse? Safe for the grouse but good viewing for the person?
Sorry Elaine, we are still looking for an answer to that in Missouri. You might check out ruclips.net/video/J86oIg2ZGvc/видео.html as The Nature Conservancy has done an excellent job in placing a camera up for live-streaming. We scrolled back and heard a couple chickens from this morning.
Do grazing cattle have a detrimental effect on the waters of natural areas?
Great question. Any practice can have a detrimental impact on natural areas, if not done properly. Factors such as land use history, grazing intensity, grazing duration, and natural community type can all play a role. Well-managed grazing systems examine specific site conditions and apply solutions when needed (i.e. have alternative water supplies, fence off riparian zones, and distribute the maintain vegetation in riparian zones). There has been much scholarly work done on the topic.
Why are the trees there? Wetter climate . Osage orange does not spread like that.
Not sure what part of the presentation you were referring to, but some of the grouse habitat was in different natural communities.
Compare your Quail charts to Turkey relocation charts. Then you will see what the true cause of Quail reduction. Then do the same with a rabbit reduction chart. Turkeys are the worst single cause of the lack of hunting game.
We once had over 10 million acres of native prairie in Missouri. We now have less than 68,000 acres of unplowed native grassland habitat. Couple that with inflated numbers during the era of traditional farming practices and declines begin to make sense. Especially, in the context of the decline of all other grassland birds.
Great seminar, Ethan and Dana. Fortunately we had a lot of quail on our prairie this past summer by my anecdotal assessment. I am glad that the MDC is changing its approach to a more wholistic ecological strategy. Moral of the story is that we need more well managed native prairie in MO.
I have NEVER known you to be able to do "one sentence or two" Dana, but that is what makes you "you". LOL
Dana, you are awesome!!
When was this done live?
So, should we just 'burn it', which then throws the toxins into the air? WHAT is the answer for what is already here?
Wouldn't the best answer for the average 'consumer' be to just NOT purchase the products, so therefore you don't have the packaging that you have to be concerned with? I would love to go 'no plastic' and I am much more conscious of my purchasing usage. Though I do continue to use what I already have (ie - those Rubbermaid or Ziploc storage containers). I wash my plastic forks and spoons, and storage bags, as I have already bought them, so I have been part of the problem. But I refuse to purchase more at any point.
The Earth is cooler with the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. ruclips.net/video/0Jijw7-YG-U/видео.html The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG warming, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming. Who is first in line to censor/delete my science? You or Google?
Nice 👍
Kudos to the Johnson County Community College graphic design students for putting this video together. Great work!
very beautiful bird.... greetings from bird lovers from Indonesia

Excellent study & presentation! Actually shows a managers how to direct field-level decisions on habitat. Question: any plans on evaluating fall vs. spring vs. summer burns? Also, large-scale, not strip discs, of bigger fields show a better response?
Hi Scott, They have done burn timing research down in the SE. Although fall burns produce more forbs, they found overwinter survival lower for quail. So, if managing exclusively for quail, spring burns are actually superior. Spring burns still produce enough forbs and the necessary bare ground for broods to be successful.
👍🌹
so glad this was recorded, as I missed the original zoom meeting -- great presentation, so much that I never ever thought of.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing 😻
Thanks for all the great resources here and the helpful presentation.
Hurray! We sure can make a difference to prevent window collisions!
Excellent research in both presentations (parts 1 and 2). Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
What were those blue things in the bowerbird nest/staging area? They looked like bottle caps and straws.
Very inspiring
Very inspiring
Steven's work is amazing! He is so informative. You should hear him talk about Mallards!
Grocery stores let me use my reusable bags, but I have to bag the groceries myself and keep my bags off their checkout area. (Covid time)
Good for you!! Once the store better understands the relatively low risk of surface contamination, particularly on cloth vs. plastic (they may decide that they want to just wipe off the area that you set your bags down on) it may hopefully require less effort on your behalf. Keep up the lifestyle of removing single-use plastics!
