But we have a long way to go...

A judge has given a Christmas present to our threatened pollinators in the 
form of a reversal of an EPA decision to approve a new pesticide that may 
endanger them.

The EPA did not follow proper procedures in approving the application for 
this pesticide, ignoring the rules to provide for public comment and testing 
for safety for the bees. As of January 15, all of this product must be 
removed from sale, until the EPA goes through the proper legal channels to 
ensure that this will not endager the bees.

I've written an editorial on the surprise win in court against the EPA at my 
blog. Perhaps the tide is turning; I hope so; but I have some suggestions as 
to where we need to go.

I welcome comments.
