I read an activist-type scientist refer to insecticides as biocides -- if we look at 'life on earth' as being one/unified. Makes sense to me. I also saw an ad on reddit the other day that was like, "Get rid of insects in your back yard so you can enjoy it!" i was like, tf? still?? like, we didn't get the memo about collapsing ecosystems or something. headline seems misleading b/c it's talking about bees, not humans, but i'm guessing it's harmful to humans, too.
