EU considering ban on major pesticides

This is good news to everyone because it sets a great precedent.  I am not going to elaborate too much.  The title of th actual article is more sensationalist than reality.  The EU is considering a ban on neonicotinoides.  These are only a portion of the pesticides in use but are some of the most harmful.  Lobby action has prevented this for a long time and Europe is ahead of us on this issue.
