75% fewer invertebrates such as insects since 1990A species extinction worse than dinosaurs has affected all populations<\/strong>, a domino effect in the food chain, fish and birds disappearing. We are experiencing the 6th and most massive extinction of species in the history of the earth. Blame it on a new class of powerful insecticides that hit the market in the 1990s: neonicotinoids, a concentrated toxin that’s applied directly to the seed. Systemic insecticides kill bees, butterflies, bugs… Insect die-offs have increased dramatically over the past 30 years. One of the causes is neonicotinoids – a highly harmful insecticide that threatens our entire food chain and animal kingdom.<\/p>\n<\/div> Insecticides are water-soluble, spread quickly in water and aquatic plants, are literally absorbed. Plants are in contact with groundwater. This is why we find insecticides in most bodies of water. The water becomes contaminated.<\/strong> Animals that eat from the plants are poisoned. As soils are contaminated, the water that flows into the soils also becomes contaminated. In 1993, after the approval of neonicotinoids, the ecosystem changed in one fell swoop and fish disappeared.<\/p>\n Insecticide DDT Developer first received the Nobel Prize, then DDT was banned worldwide as a cause of cancer and as toxic to reproduction in the 1970s. Today’s neonicotinoids are 7,000-8,000 times more toxic than DDT.<\/p>\n Our environment is full of pesticides and cocktails of the various chemical agents. We have no idea what the effects of the pesticides are, dispersal of insecticides and cocktail effects from many different pesticides. The environment is full of substances. The effects are unknown. If you want to detect 200 different pesticides, you would have to carry out 20,000 risk assessments. So far, nobody has paid for it and nobody has done it before.<\/p>\n<\/div>Pestizide sind im einzelnen Insektizide, Fungizide, Neonikotinoide (das Nikotin t\u00f6tet Insekten) und Herbizide.<\/h2><\/div>

Not a meal without neonicotinoids<\/h2><\/div>
