without pollinating insects you won't eat but those among you who wish to feel good about where you live stand behind the man responsible for approval of poisons that will certainly affect your opportunity to eat;
A pair of environmental groups on Tuesday filed suit against the
President Donald Trump administration over the Environmental Protection
Agency's recent approval of expanded use of the bee-killing pesticide
sulfoxaflor across 200 million acres in 12 states.
The Center for Food Safety and the Center for Biological Diversity filed the suit (pdf) in the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals against the EPA and agency administrator Andrew Wheeler.
In a statement, George Kimbrell, legal director at the Center for Food Safety, said the decision to allow the pesticide was "pure pro-pesticide politics."
"Trump's EPA can't justify throwing our already imperiled pollinators
under the bus," said Kimbrell. "That's why the agency offered no chance
for the public or independent researchers to comment. And that’s why
we're suing them."..........https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/08/20/groups-sue-trumps-epa-response-nauseating-approval-bee-killing-pesticide
