Snails are essential to their ecosystems. Land snails are trash pickers, sucking up rotting leaves and fungi, and serve as lunch for a wide variety of predators, including frogs, salamanders, birds, and mammals. They even help birds lay eggs—many birds would be eggless without the extra calcium they get from eating snails’ shells. Consider your actions and how they are useful to yourecosystem. Help others become their best selves by doing and saying things that propel them toward their own goals and growth. By being of service, you better yourself, too.
