Why I Am Here

Why I Am Here
It all started in spring 2009 when I noticed that almost every residence in my suburban town had one of those scary "Pesticide Application" signs on the front lawn. And then my father, a lifelong gardener from a family of gardeners, mentioned to me that he now has to pollinate all of his vegetable plants by poking his fingers into the flowers because he has so few bees in his garden... I've seen more of these signs lately than I care to count. I'm exhausted.

Stuff I've Noticed:

ADHD autism Bayer bees chicory children clover compost corporations dandelions ddt dementia dwarf fruit trees earth day EPA estrogen farms fish hummingbirds lawns mothballs neonicotinoids organic rachel carson research salt silent spring sports teams worms
