Think that pesticide makers should be required to list not just the so-called "active ingredients" in their products but also the inert ones - like those recently found to be potentially more harmful in Roundup than the glophosate itself? Then head on over to the EPA to tell them you support this move - that the EPA itself is now proposing. Here's their press release with the long-overdo but still great news.
Paul Tukey's quick take on this is: "Read it closely; the EPA wants your comments. This is a great opportunity to overturn a decades-long travesty." Thanks to Paul for keeping us posted about this and really, all news related to pesticides. Like:
- New pro-business propaganda campaigns.
- And one questionable move by the EPA in the past - approving a pesticide that seems to be killing bees - has recently been overturn in court, thanks to a suit brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Here's the NRDC's press release about it.








We should all support NRDC . . . one of our best watch dog groups. This is a step in the right direction!

While this is a step in the right direction I can't help but want even more information on the decline of bees. This is a serious situation and requires vigilance on all counts.
