Bats save US food consumers something like 53 billion$\/yr.<\/p>\n

Stop \ud83d\uded1<\/p>\n

Think \ud83e\udd14!
\nDo you really believe that the pesticide manufacturers look on that as a savings or profit? Or would they see it as a 53 billion dollar cost to them by the damn bats eating insects that could be better killed by pesticides.
\nIs it a profit to the chemical company’s CEOs, their board members, or their shareholders to let bats eat insects? Or is it more profitable to them for us to use more pesticides? www.puravidaaquatic.com\/wordpress\/billion-dollar-bats\/<\/a><\/p>\n

There are new classes of pesticides being worked on today that target insect molting. (All insect molting!) Dragonflies, bees, praying mantids, monarch butterflies – in fact all endangered insects. This is done by looking for chemicals that target, modify, and damage complex DNA regulatory based molting systems …. Couldn’t possibly hurt humans or endangered mammals because we don’t molt.<\/p>\n

But … these DNA regulatory systems also have homologues in mammals such as mice, and … bats …, and us. What could _possibly_ go wrong?<\/p>\n

Other types of new pesticides are RNAi systems that govern regulatory and protein production systems. Again, what could _possibly_ go wrong? And if you don’t … ,as most people don’t, know what an RNAi system is, how can you possibly just trust the pesticide manufacturers to spray it on us?<\/p>\n

Yet if these new classes of pesticides are being tested in our national parks you would not be told, and you would have no way of finding out.<\/p>\n

If I hear one more time a group of “Environmentalists” defending their pesticide application actions by claiming it is; science-based, or better still, “guided by science and current land management best practices”, I am going to get annoyed. The only science these spokespeople, politician, “Environmentalists” are listening to is:
\n1) the “science” generated by Monsanto, Dupont, and Dow Chemical’s privately owned “scientists”.
\n2) the “scientists” who were owned by the “cigarette companies” — who proved multiple times that “cigarettes don’t cause cancer”.
\n3) the “science” produced by Monsanto “scientists” who _proved_ that glyphosate will not hurt people or pets.
\n4) and on and on.<\/p>\n

I must admit that I am disappointed by the fake naturalists (politicians, companies, and organizations) that destroy our natural habitat and our children’s health while claiming to be environmentally active. I am disappointed that the Nature Conservancy is refusing to give me any information or data on their pesticide use on “their” lands. Wait a minute; seriously? How did they buy those lands?\ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude0a There are three little things that _you_ can start doing today to begin holding our environmental groups accountable once again. \ud83d\ude0a. Don’t be an enabler for these groups. www.puravidaaquatic.com\/wordpress\/what-can-anyone-do-about-the-pesticide-use-in-our-national-parks\/<\/a>
