I try to keep the faith in people but the scales are certainly tipped. I get so disheartened when people know that plants they purchase at certain places have been treated with neonicotinoids & will hurt or kill the pollinators yet they see a sale on their favorite plant & buy, buy, buy like giddy children & then broadcast to all & sundry that such & such place has a big sale on those plants.
Let's go kill some more pollinators, we don't care as long as we have pretty gardens to show off. Do they ever stop to think if it weren't for those very same pollinators, we wouldn't HAVE those plants?
