I miss @EnvironmentCO & @PatagoniaDenver's river cleanups -- but much as I'm excited to get back to them, a system built on making a mess and cleaning it up isn't one that's working. https://t.co/Bd3Pas7Ceo
Where is the leading edge of monarch migration this week? Read on to find out. As migration progresses, remember to plant milkweed and nectar-rich flowers. And report your observations of monarchs to Journey North. ➡️ https://t.co/pBoJvlzDEO

New study: Roundup causes high levels of mortality following contact exposure in bumble bees https://t.co/08hcRBBfqu Researchers say Roundup surfactants, or other co‐formulants, to blame so companies must stop being allowed to withhold info on identity and concentration of these.
#Roundup causes up to 94% mortality following contact exposure in #bumblebees
This is not due to the herbicide #glyphosate, but probably caused by surfactants or other co‐formulants used in Roundup #ecocide https://t.co/q0aemjxMBr
NEW RESEARCH: Roundup, the worlds most used weedkiller, can kill bumble bees! Why this is important and what it means for pesticides, a thread:

@eliasp@ForscherRobert@NevertillUli@EdStrawBio We all know the role and toxicity of surfactants for years. The public doesn't.
The headline is clear, blame Roundup, not the surfactants used in a specific formula.

Pesticides in the park, and elsewhere: Roundup causes high levels of mortality following contact exposure in bumble bees ......... https://t.co/i3n6Wh0ToD #bees#bumblebees#pesticides (image: BHL)
New research shows how #Roundup, the world's most widely used herbicide, can be lethal to #bumblebees. Please read this article to understand why it's not the 'glyphosate', but the 'co-formulants' mixed WITH it to produce Roundup, that do the harm.

Bee deaths & herbicides. It's not Glyphosate that kills bees but the 'adjuvant' it is mixed with - these slimes, surfactants & soaps are secret so impossible for pesticide user to know harm it will cause.

18.9 billion pounds of #glycophate based herbicides sprayed worldwide since 1974. New study shows #glycophate disrupts reproductive health in humans. We are poisoning ourselves and our planet @foe_us
As spring progresses, more American Robins are arriving in northern breeding territories. Farther south, signs of nesting behavior have begun. Are you observing robins? ➡️ https://t.co/3gMlhGJ4BV
