@BillGates soul switch 🤡

In the 1940s there were about 5 million #bee colonies. Now we #farm large monocultures to support many more people with colonies numbering closer to 3 million.

The #honeybee is critical to the type of agriculture we have in this country. Approximately 1/3 of all crops grown rely on #crosspollination to survive.

Since we have not performed adequate testing to prove @EPA tolerance levels in the vast majority of registered #chemicals, let us approve 0% (ppm) in both #organic and nonorganic #foods

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

I don’t know that #capitalism and determining which #chemicals are OK to consume (none) is something to mix @US_FDA What do you say?

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

The longer we stay in #isolation the lower our individual #immunity gets as we avoid #human and environmental interaction. #COVID19

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

#globalgreening is not a thing; #plants are only capable of removing 1/4 of the carbon dioxide we put in the #atmosphere ...and that won't last forever

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

For the first time ever, the economic consequences of protecting #plants and #animals (really?) could be considered when deciding whether or not they're worth saving from #extinction

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

#food is a costly antidepressant

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

Americans spend less than 10% of their income on #food, less than the citizens of any other nation.

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

You won’t find any high-fructose corn syrup at the farmers’ market

[Zac Miller @cazrellim]

Real #food is alive and therefore should die (except for #honey, which has a shelf life measured in centuries) #bees

The expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline (set to begin in August!) would multiply oil tanker traffic through the orcas’ habitat by seven times! https://t.co/TZ5SZ9v9SV

The #orcas of the Pacific Northwest, listed as #endangered since 2005, have reached a 30-year low (only 75 individuals)

The @EPA chief will be replaced (temporarily??) by a former coal lobbyist with eager intentions to undue #environmental regulations. This is a travesty.

Honeybees are responsible for pollinating 1/3 of America's crops #Food

Heat breaks down the cell matrix to release tied-up carotenoids (lycopene) from cell walls. Carotenoids protect the body from free radical damage (cell death). https://t.co/DXkyPA0uB1

Cooking tomatoes with olive oil makes the lycopene in them more available to our bodies #foodforthought

The #1 offender that litters the beach is cigarette butts (yuck!) You would think the filter is made out of #biodegradable cotton, but it's actually a form of #plastic called cellulose acetate
