Bee Good

Since 2006, the American bee population has plummeted from 4.5 million honey-producing hives to a scant 860,000. Worse, that number is still dropping. Rampant pesticide use is a major cause of bee deaths. In 2011, the EPA found that the use of neonicotinoid pesticides is both widespread and catastrophic to bee populations. Neonicotinoids are on average 7,000 times more toxic than DDT, which was banned in 1972.

Despite this, the EPA has not banned the manufacture or use of neonicotinoids, choosing instead to put the products "under review" for the next five years.

Conservation biologists report that when the bees begin to die off, their surrounding environments are sure to follow. Tell the EPA to halt the production of deadly neonicotinoids now.

Everyone's acting like we have time.

What Eeevil Lurks In The Depths of MONSANTO

Percy Schmeiser vs Monsanto: The Story of a Canadian Farmer’s Fight to Defend the Rights of Farmers and the Future of Seeds

"The pesticide Roundup produced by the multinational concern Monsanto is the most widely sold spray in the world. Monsanto made its canola resistant to Roundup. This means Roundup kills every plant without exception. Only Monsanto’s genetically modified canola remains alive."

Monsanto Products to Avoid Purchasing: The pesticide "Roundup". And anything with Aspartame (NutraSweet and Equal) - that means almost all "diet" soda.

Aspartame is banned in all childrens products in the European Common Market. Why not here? The List of what pharmaceuticals (children's included) contain aspartame.

So, besides the actual health of your body, know where your money is going. Know what you're supporting.

So, I know I get my panties in a twist about a lot of things... I'm paying attention after all. And while some others are concerned about what Kim Kardashian's ass looks like this week, I'm riled up about some other things that should be front page news. It's SO DISTURBING and it's NOT front page news! WHY ISN'T THIS FRONT PAGE NEWS???

MONSANTO's BULLSHIT has my head on backwards.

Which incidentally, I can see my ass from here. And it's kinda hot.

Except for all that hair...
