>A recent report by the NGO found that just one teaspoon of the Syngenta-made pesticide, Hallmark, was enough to kill 13 million bees.
If you have 13 million bees in a single field, never mind a single plant then you have a much, much bigger problem than the pesticide itself.
There are legitimate arguments both for and against pesticides in general and specific but a hyperbolic case of something that is never going to happen is a poor justification for a protest.
Nuthetes on
Finally–some environmental protest I can get behind.
THIS is who they should have been targetting from the get go. The businesses and individuals responsible. Not throwing paint over Stonehenge, or glueing themselves on roads or throwing paint on a work of art.
