FRANCE: Bees vs Corporate Farming
THE STUPIDITY OF THE FRENCH PARLIAMENT
‘Scandalous, irrational and irresponsible’: French beekeepers’ fury at lifting of pesticides ban.
- Beekeepers and environmentalists in France have reacted furiously after parliament approved a bill reauthorising two banned pesticides scientists say can poison bees.
- “There are no words to describe the frustration,” said Carolyn Bouguet, a beekeeper in Essonne, greater Paris. “Bee populations have already been badly compromised by climate change, new parasites and loss of habitat. And now this.”

Corporate Industrial Farming
Greenpeace France said the country’s centrist government and its right wing allies in parliament were “trampling on science, health, the environment and the clear will of the people”, describing the legislation as “deeply concerning” and “a disgrace”.

No. Two steps forward, one step back. But corporate media will do all they can to make you only see those steps backward, and thereby prod people into giving up.

Sam Bentley does an amazing job of making sure many of the steps forward are heard and seen. I wish I could find the video where he starts out by outlining how corporate media is attempting to demotivate people, which is why he is pushing back.

Forward movement may be slow, but it is happening. Is it fast enough? I don't know, but it's happening and we need to keep pushing for it.
