Save that bug! Preventing the rapid decline of insects around the globe is key to preserving human life, warn scientists
Insects have a way of making outdoor jogs and picnics a bit less pleasant, but you might want to think twice before squashing them as experts say none of us would be here if they didn’t exist. In fact, one leading scientist has warned that the rapid declines of insect populations across the planet is […]

Pesticides found to make bees helpless to deadly mite infestations
Bees are in danger — there’s little doubt about that. Experts are saying that the dramatic decline in honeybee populations in the United States is unsustainable. Responsible for producing $20 billion in crops across the U.S. alone, honeybees are an essential part of the agricultural industry (and the food chain). But, Big Ag hasn’t been […]

Agricultural chemicals and destructive practices caused butterfly numbers to plummet by 66%
In recent years, media reports have made most of us aware of the crisis being faced by both wild and domestic honeybees. As reported by Greenpeace, since 1962 the number of bee colonies per hectare – which is viewed as a critical indicator of crop health – has dropped by a massive 90 percent. This […]

Factory farming contaminates our food, pollutes the environment, and poisons our water
The amount of livestock in the U.S. has spiked in recent years, yet the number of farms has gotten smaller. In 2015, only four companies were responsible for 85 percent of the country’s beef-packing industry. This is part of a trend known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO), where animals like chickens, pigs and cows […]

Why is the soil so contaminated, and where do the contaminants come from?
Air and water pollution rightfully get a lot of attention. The danger is serious, and everyone can easily grasp the ramifications of toxins in something that all of us use directly every day. However, the issue of soil contamination carries equal weight, even if its effects aren’t as immediately obvious. Even if you never step […]

PR, not penalty: EPA lets Syngenta off the hook for poisoning people
Instead of having to fork over the $4.8 million that was demanded as part of a massive lawsuit against the corrupt biotechnology giant, Syngenta Hawaii, a local unit of the Swiss company Syngenta AG, has instead been let off the hook by federal environmental regulators with a mere $150,000 slap on the wrist. As you […]

Recent analysis finds that atrazine is contaminating the drinking water in corn-growing areas of the Midwest and beyond
If you live anywhere near a corn-growing area, you need to know that your drinking water could contain a dangerous weed killer known as atrazine – even if your water company’s test results appear to indicate otherwise. That’s because seasonal spikes of the herbicide contaminate drinking water at certain times of year, and water utilities […]

More than 10 million Texans are drinking water contaminated with atrazine, a toxic herbicide with gender bender effects
Atrazine is the most common pesticide found in drinking water and surface water. In fact, it is one of the top two pesticides used in the United States — second only to glyphosate, which is used in Monsanto’s Roundup. As a weedkiller, atrazine is used in industrial farming operations as well as formulations intended for […]

Simple changes in conventional farming practices, particularly those that repair soil, could be the key to feeding the world
Not surprisingly, the promises that GMOs would save the world from hunger have failed to materialize. In addition to failing to make inroads in this serious issue, they’re also causing a slew of health and environmental problems. It’s clear that a different approach is needed, and it looks like one of the simplest solutions could […]

Bayer wants EPA to issue “updated label” on Dicamba – claiming their growers now spread the toxic herbicide in the “right way”
If crinkled leaves and lower yield are all farmers are worried about while spreading cancerous pesticides on millions of acres of farms, we’re all in big trouble. After all, killing weeds is big business, but killing bees, butterflies and humans, well, that’s nothing to consider at all, according to biotechnology monster corporations like Bayer (which […]
