The impact to Earth's ecosystem with the continued use of imidacloprid has the potential to be severe, especially with the flow on effects in the food chain. My question is how long will it take governments and organisations to either ban or limit usage then phase out the offending insecticide. Have you seen great examples of governments or organisations making great, yet swift change that has been beneficial to the environment? AlphaKnowledge: Christopher Donohue: A sweet lesson on patience.
This post falls outside of my normal business oriented content.
