Thanks Flossy, there's an important vote at the EU today to try and stop the pesticide companies producing products thought to be killing our bees. Anyone not voted yet may like to add their support.

Today the environment minister, Owen Paterson, will be casting his vote in Europe on the future of our bees.

Please, can you help spread the word right now, and make sure that everyone is talking about the bees before he goes to vote? Owen will find it harder to vote against a ban if he knows that public opinion is completely against him.

Let’s share the petition on facebook, let’s email our friends and let’s tweet about the bees. With over 300,000 signatures so far, we can make sure the bees have an army of us looking out for them.

It's a long shot, Owen seems determined to do the bidding of the pesticide companies. But if we can make sure that Owen Paterson and his department are swarmed by hundreds of thousands of people demanding he votes to protect the bees, it might just be enough to change his mind.

YAY!


"Great news! The votes are in. Bee-killer pesticides are going to be suspended across Europe for the next two years. Bees can breathe a sigh of relief. [1] ​

Sadly our environment minister, Owen Paterson, voted against the ban. But enough other countries voted in favour and the vote was won." ​

whilst this may look like a legitimate offer of free info, it stinks of an IMer building an email list.
Look at the site. A 12 yo could have built that in their bedroom in half an hour. Its loaded with affiliate links, and requires your ever so precious email address to gain access to the content.
I may be wrong, but i wouldn't trust this with anything other than a disposable email address. You may get free info, i'm guessing its available elsewhere with a quick google.
(the email capture program whose own website includes "how to build your email list" is a slight give away tho!)
