Thanks for sharing, it was an interesting article and well worth checking out.

There was also an article concerning Roundup's complicity in the decline of bee populations. The dangers of this herbicide are finally being reported here in this country, and I sure hope that people begin to listen.

When we bought our 4-acre property in Battle Ground, WA, there were almost no birds, no butterflies, very few bees (native or domestic). It was eerie. We took over a dozen pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides to the local recycling center for proper disposal that the previous owner had left and had used extensively on our property. It took several years for the birds and bees to begin returning. Eight years later we have praying mantises, native bees and wasps, a much more diverse and healthy ecosystem. Thankfully nature is forgiving and resilient.
