I mean, over 40% of the world's insect species are in decline anyways, so why do farmers even feel the need to dump pesticide on their land? Talk about a huge waste. The whole world is getting threatened by the increasing rise of locust, just look how disgusting is to see that dude removing them from the tree. India, Africa, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Central America, are already starting to get hit. We need these pesticides right now, or all the crops will disappear, they even cover the sun in the middle of the day, really nasty stuff. I'm strictly talking about the UNITED STATES, though. The U.S. has no locust species; the only locust species that ever occurred in north america during historical times (the rocky mountain locust) went extinct over a century ago, so we don't have to take preventative action against locust swarms like Africa and Asia do, hence why it's unnecessary for our farmers here in America to spray their crops with pesticides. It does more harm in the long term then good. |

Here's an interesting article I just found: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/15/nebraska-colorado-meatless-day-beef-industryNebraska's republican party was so outraged by Colorado's decision to go green by dedicating a statewide holiday to veganism that they decided to establish their own statewide holiday in response to this as a counter-attack: pro-meat day. Now nebraskans will be forced to eat only meat on his holiday because restaurants will be required to serve only meals that include beef. Now THAT'S what I call regressive. Bravo, Nebraska. Your stupidity level has gone above and beyond. |

That cow getting killed in Apocalypse Now really made me feel bad about eating meat, but it is just very hard to give it up, particularly beef.
It tastes so good and in general it is hard to beat meat when it comes to protein packed per serving, not to mention for the environment it is relatively better than soy for example.
Reports say that he global trade and production of soy doesn't just impact biodiversity, it also affects Earth's climate, generating significant amounts of greenhouse gases, and the conversion of native land into agricultural land, among other potential symptoms on humans no yet properly studied.

 www.cnn.com/us/live-news/kyle-rittenhouse-trial-verdict-watch-11-19-21/index.htmlSo in recent news, the Wisconsin guy who gunned down several protestors a while back was just found not guilty on all charges. America is proof that you can gun down innocent people and get away with it. This story reminds how terrible gun culture is in the midwest. Also reminds me why I don't feel safe living here. And I just want to remind everyone that this guy got a standing ovation from conservative politicians for killing those black people. I'm not kidding, look up the story if you don't believe me. |

That's the good thing of having video everywhere. Even the President lied about the situation, but then there is the video proof.

MONOCULTURE  I hate monoculture. I hate it, I fear it, I intensely despise it with a red het burning passion. I hate monoculture of any kind. It represents the death of the planet at the hands of man. Once our planet is entirely transformed into monoculture, then there will be no saving earth. Game over. |

I have always been skeptical about how corn appeared out of nowhere suddenly 10,000 years ago and everything changed after that.

Haha, serves them right. Midwesterners destroyed the atmosphere and now global warming is destroying them. Karma.

Did you ever find that source that said Norway was going to give up oil drilling?
"On Wednesday, March 18, 1925, one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in recorded history generated at least 12 significant tornadoes and spanned a large portion of the Midwestern and Southern United States. In all, at least 747 people were killed and more than 2,298 were injured, making the outbreak the deadliest tornado outbreak, March 18 the deadliest tornado day, and 1925 the deadliest tornado year in U.S. history.["
How ignorant can you be, Melee?
