Avaaz, another tool for the keyboard warrior similar to 38 Degrees, has a petition going to the stockholders of Bayer asking them to
stop production and sale of neonicotinoid pesticides until and unless new independent scientific studies prove they are safe
While I think that planting pollinator friendly native plants in our yards, putting up bee houses for bumblebees, and not using neonicotinoid pesticides ourselves, are important steps in helping pollinator recovery, a little online activism never hurts. Besides, Avaaz has a nifty widget that shows who is signing their petition and where they are from. It's fun and rather addicting to watch. The stockholders' meeting in Germany is tomorrow, so time is short. Sign please, and pass it on.
