State needs to do its part to save the bees
People have been destroying ecosystems for generations now and that will catch up with us in an extinction event if we don't change our selfish ways. Now, we threaten pollinators by our use of chemicals and industrial agriculture that destroys native ecosystems that support bees replacing them with monocultures that don't.
One thing that we must do is stop selling neonics.
We need to accept our responsibility to act sustainably and minimize the harm that we cause and also do our part to end colony collapse disorder. Let's make sure our governor knows that people care about becoming a bee-friendly state.
