GMO’s and the Plight of the Honey Bees Most people do not worry about where their food comes from but they do worry about what goes into it. More than one third of the population believe that GMO’s are safe to eat while 52% believe they are unsafe and 13% are unsure. To start what is GMO. Why is it so important to some people?

One is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. The other is a mixed body of social science literature pertaining to anything from environmental laws to political ecology. Primarily based around the concept

The endocrine system is a biological system of complex organisms that involves sending chemical signals from one gland to another part of the body through blood. The endocrine system involves the use of several chemicals produced in the body at different parts sent to other parts of the body to trigger function of that that organ. It is a well synchronized circus of chemicals in the body to communicate the needs from one organ to the another for the efficient functioning and reproduction of the organism

Abstract This paper reports the results of a pilot study of polybrominated flame retardents in household dust collected for a small sample of households in Plymouth. It finds significant levels of pentaBDE especially in bedrooms. The most likely cause is the continued use of pentaBDE within polyurethane foam in mattresses and other bedroom furniture, in spite of the ban by the European Court of Justice in 2004. Further work is called for in order to examine whether this reflects the widespread continued

...But at What Cost? Genetically modified organisms (GMO) are plants and animals that have been biologically engineered with the DNA of other plants, animals, bacteria, etc. Such modifications and combinations cannot occur in nature through crossbreeding or by other organic means. While GMO’s are commonplace in the vast majority of our marketplace, information and facts about them is not. Information can be found, but it must be sought out from different sources from our Government, Educational

“Americans love to talk about their freedoms.

Introduction There are many myths that surround the genetically modified (GM) crops and food. Are they just a mere myth or it is the truth that has been shunned from public discussion? I believed that, there are some misconceptions and truths upholding the myths with the evidences from great studies conducted by researchers all over the world. From the book GMO: Myth and Truth the second edition by Antoniou and his colleagues (2012), the arguments are adapted to discuss the topic. In this article

Many schools in the State of New York used a low-cost mulch around their buildings. This mulch was infested with the Timber Devastator, an invasive subterranean termite. Normally this termite wouldn’t be able to survive the winter, but they have been able to overwinter within the schools causing serious structural damage. The goal of this paper is to identify am environmentally friendly, time conscious, and economically feasible plan for controlling this pest. The biology of the Timber Devastator
