National Pollinator Week is this week (June 17-23)! But pollinator week should be every week. Please help us educate others about the perils that pollinators face and the things we can do to help them. PLANT NATIVE VARIETIES OF THESE TO HELP SAVE THE BEES: 21 BEE-FRIENDLY PLANTS by Hannah Rosengren is a great conversation starter. Everyone can appreciate a beautiful and colorful garden that also helps the bees! But did you know... retail nurseries and garden centers sell bee-killing plants pre-treated with neonicotinoid insecticides? That's right stores across the nation may be selling plants pre-treated with Bayer-Monsanto and Syngenta's neonics that are killing our pollinators, while advertising them as "bee-friendly" plants. The best option is to buy organic - synthetic pesticides are prohibited in organic growing. If you don't have organic options, ask the retailer if the plant has been treated with neonics. If they have been treated or the employees don't know, do not buy and let them know why you're not buying. Then ask the retailer to completely phase out the use of neonics and synthetic pesticides on plants. If enough people speak up and boycott pesticide-treated plants, retailers will change. As a matter of fact, YOU have already been making a difference over the last 4 years. Home Depot has stated that 98% of their plant products are neonicotinoid-free, and the ones that have neonics are labeled. Lowe's claimed they would phase out neonic-treated plants by spring 2019. In fact, most large retailers have pledged to phase out plants pre-treated with neonics. But to be sure the retailers aren't dragging their feet, we still need to speak up and keep the pressure on until garden centers are 100% neonic-free and organic options are offered.

You’ve likely heard how #cleaning or #detoxifying your body can have #tremendous #health benefits. It’s true. A #detox or #cleansing can help your body get rid of #harmful #toxins like #pesticides, #heavymetals, and #volatile #organic compounds. This is essential for your body, because under normal circumstances, these #toxins slowly build up in your #tissues. If you don’t #detoxify or #clean regularly, toxins can build up to the point where they cause some serious health problems.

The concern with time travel is fact that if one little thing was changed in the past, then it would be a domino effect altering the proceeding events ultimately rewriting history. This metaphor is how I think of the ecosystem. Adding or removing elements will have a drastic chain reaction in nature. For example, deciding to reach for pesticides to chemically control a bug infestation can cause huge consequences. You’re not only adding chemicals that will seep into the soil changing microbiology, but you could be removing a food source from an important member of the ecosystem . On the other hand, you want to control a pest problem biologically thinking that it is safer, so you invite in a foreign predator. We have seen that backfire hard here in California wiping out crops and throwing off the natural order. The best thing to do if you have a bug problem in my opinion is 1. Watch. Take note. How long does the infestation last for ? Maybe it’s only a few weeks. In that case if it’s only a season, allow nature to work. 2. Syringing. It’s when you spray off with the hose any aphids or other piecing-suckling-mouth-part insects. That has been 100% effective for me, even with more finicky plants like roses! You just need to have a good eye and persistence. . Photos are the Anza Borrego superbloom because the desert is pretty too.

TAG YOUR CHEMISTRY FRIENDS... Structure of Pentachlorophenol ... ABOUT PCP Pentachlorophenol is an organochlorine compound used as a pesticide and a disinfectant. First produced in the 1930s, it is marketed under many trade names. It can be found as pure PCP, or as the sodium salt of PCP, the latter which dissolves easily in water. (from Wikipedia... visit for more details) Follow@chemistry_lab_by_jb . . . . . . . . .

Catechol is a white crystalline solid, commonly used in the synthesis of pesticides and pharmaceuticals . Industrially , it is produced from phenol and hydrogen peroxide. It is also a common building block for organic synthesis , and several commercial flavours like vanillin are synthesised from catechol. Historically, it was used as a black-and-white photographic developer .

What's the Difference? There is some confusion about what the USDA Organic and the Non-GMO Project Verified labels mean. Here's what you need to know: Non-GMO Project Verified does NOT mean Organic or grown without synthetic pesticides. Non-GMO Project Verified means conventionally grown from non-GMO seeds and with testing of the supply chain/product to make sure there is no more than nine tenths of 1% GMO contamination (this is the same standard used in the EU). Conventionally grown non-GMO foods can still be grown with synthetic agrichemicals, such as Roundup, dicamba, neonicotinoids, chlorpyrifos, etc. Certified Organic is a regulated standard where the crops must be grown from organic seeds (GMO seeds are not allowed) and without toxic, synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and other synthetic chemicals. But it is important to know that there is little testing for potential GMO contamination and crops may go to market even if they are heavily contaminated, as long as the grower shows that they did not purposely plant with GMO seeds. So for high-risk GMO ingredients (not everything is GMO) such as corn, soy, sugar from sugar beets, canola, cottonseed oil, potatoes... look for BOTH the USDA Organic AND the Non-GMO Project Verified butterfly labels to avoid toxic synthetic pesticides and GMO contamination. Happy shopping! NOTE: BEWARE FAKE NON-GMO labels. The Non-GMO Project butterfly label is the only one that's trustworthy! #USDAOrganic #organic #NonGMOProjectVerified #NonGMOProject #pesticides #food #contamination #Health #Holistic #HolisticHealth #FoodSafety #HealthyFood #BoycottGMOs #toxinfreeusa #gmofreecanada #gmofreeusa

[TOXINES] du quotidien... Quelles sont-elles et que faire pour lutter ? . Dans nos habitations, nos lieux de travail, l’air peut être saturé de molécules toxiques comme les phtalates, le bisphénol, les PFC, les retardateurs de flammes, qui sont TOUS des perturbateurs endocriniens qui - ont le sait - interfèrent avec l'action des hormones chez l'être humain… . On connaît les pesticides bien sûr, mais on en retrouve aussi dans les meubles neufs, les appareils électroniques en surchauffe, les peintures murales, les jouets, les matelas, produits d’entretiens, vêtements synthétiques . QUE FAIRE ALORS pour les éviter au maximum ? _________________ ALIMENTATION : Manger #bio, de producteur ou du jardin, en allant vers une agriculture bio, on lutte au quotidien contre les pesticides dans nos assiettes : ne pas hésiter à en parler à son producteur . MEUBLES : on achète de seconde main ! Aujourd’hui que ce soit un canapé ou une table basse, les meubles neufs contiennent tous des éléments issus de la pétrochimie ! En privilégiant les meubles de seconde main, on est sur que les produits chimiques ont eu le temps de s’évaporer ! En bois massif c’est encore mieux ;-) . VÊTEMENTS : au diable le polyester, polyamide et autres synthétiques, en privilégiant les matières naturelles, coton bio, lin, chanvre, on ne met pas de chimie au contact de sa peau . COSMESTIQUES : on choisit des formules avec peu d’ingrédients, le plus brutes possibles, avec label bio à minima et Nature et Progrès si possible... On décrypte les étiquettes . Car, ce qu’on ne connaît pas vraiment encore c’est les effets de ce que les scientifiques appellent « l’effet cocktail » c’est à dire le mélange de plusieurs éléments chimiques dans notre organisme . AGIR : n’hésitez pas à signer l’@appelcoquelicots : on vous met lien de la pétition en story . En privilégiant un maximum de matières naturelles et simples, on lutte pour les déchets mais aussi pour un « home sweet home » plus sain . @florianecaux .

L’origine de nos produits est importante. Niveau trajets, un fruit ou un légume peux voyager beaucoup plus que certains d’entres nous avant d’arriver dans notre assiette. En plus, les produits qui viennent de loin, n’ont pas Les mêmes règles en terme de dosage des produits chimiques que ceux qui proviennent d’Europe ou même la France. La quantité est exacerbée et cause la mort ou des cancers chez les habitants environnants les champs. ❌ . En plus de ça, les pesticides et fongicides servent à appauvrir les sols en tuant les micros organismes présents. Ces micros organismes étant responsables et les pourvoyeurs de la minéralisation des plantes par le sol. Une plante ne peut pas puiser ses minéraux directement dans le sol, elle peut les puiser grâce à l’action de tous les micros organismes qui sont à la surface de ses racines. Exactement comme nous, nous ne pouvons pas absorber par nous même les nutriments, nous avons besoins d’un ensemble de micro organismes à la surface de nos intestins. L’utilisation des pesticides et fongicides vont alors avoir les mêmes effets sur notre micro biote intestinale : la détruire, mettant à mal notre immunité et notre assimilation. C’est d’ailleurs la catastrophe moderne et c’est cela qui explique le déficit micro nutritionnel de notre alimentation. C’est alors que notre immunité s’affaiblie et qu’elle va laissée passer des souches bactériennes qui vont finir en infection. . Cercle vicieux, qui pourrait être éviter. Pour preuve, certains pays utilisent les graines paysannes. Qu’est ce que c’est ? Ce sont des graines issues de plantes qui elles mêmes ont été issue de plantes, etc sur plusieurs générations . Des plantes non traitées et non affaiblies ce qui fait au final des graines de super qualité, très adaptés qui n’ont même pas besoin d’eau pour pousser et peuvent s’épanouir même sur un terrain aride. Donc aucunement besoin de pesticides ou insecticides. ☀️ . On peux contribuer en choisissant l’origine de nos produits, consommer de saisons et au mieux local. Je choisis de plus en plus des produits bio provenant d’Europe. Et nous cultivons des légumes dans le jardin. . Et vous, vous faites attention à tout ça ?
