Honeybees' death = Human disappearing?
By Quetzal on Wednesday 22 August 2007, 22:31 - Environment
Currently, I regularly buy an economical newspaper, Les Echos. This monday, I read an article that completely amazed me. Its title was La mort des abeilles met la planète en danger (bees' death puts in jeopardy the planet). When I read it, I understood that the author was mentioning living species instead of the entire Earth.
According to quoted figures, between 60 and 90% of honeybees have disappeared in the United States, between 15 and 95% in France. This phenomenon is called colony collapse disorder. Bees go missing... 80% of vegetal species need honeybees for reproduction purposes though. Without them, no pollination, no fruits, no vegetables... If we want to focus on mankind, what will we eat? Broadly speaking, this means less vegetation, therefore less animals as well... The article mentions that Einstein had already pointed ou our dependancy towards bees.
There are several explanations for the colony collapse disorder. However no one is really sure which ones are right. This article (in French for the ones who understand and a similar one in English) should help us understand our relationship with the Nature and our obligation to protect the planet.

Happy Birthday to EU!

Through this post, I would like to congratulate the European Union for its 50 years! It was in 1957 that the Rome treaty established the European Economic Community which became the current EU.
At the beginning, Henrik can remember this, I was not really in favor of Europe. When I arrived in France, I could observe daily implications of this Union, and I changed my mind. I love discovering new cultures and I am really excited when meeting people at the university coming from all over Europe. We can travel freely, share a money, a parliament... I really enjoy it!
I am disappointed to see that currently in France, a lot of people are deceived by the EU. I hope this day of celebrations could make things better in their mind by showing all that is brought by this alliance.
Here are some links:
