This destruction has serious implications on worldwide ecology and economy.Of the 100 crop species responsible for providing 90% of food worldwide, 71 are dependent on bee pollination, according to UN estimates (pdf). It's difficult to pinpoint the financial implications of this destruction, but the international body says pollination is worth between $37bn and $91bn, annually.Stories about the declining population and its effect on the environment trickle through the news cycle each week.

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years.

What is helium used for, apart from balloons? Quite a lot, as it happensHelium supplies are running low. This is cause for concern for some.

Helium: swollen stars, party balloons and squeaky voices | Dean Burnett :: There are increasing reports of an imminent helium shortage, but why should this be a concern? What is helium used for, apart from balloons? Quite a lot, as it happensHelium supplies are running low. This is cause for concern for some. Others might wonder what the fuss is about.The statement itself may seem bizarre in some respects. How can we be "running out" of the second most abundant element in the known universe? Mankind may have had a substantial impact on the planet's resources, but using up a quarter of all known matter? Even the most extreme environmentalist would have to agree that's a bit of an exaggeration. The atmosphere of Jupiter alone is about 10% helium. Let's not even get started on the sun.

This destruction has serious implications on worldwide ecology and economy.Of the 100 crop species responsible for providing 90% of food worldwide, 71 are dependent on bee pollination, according to UN estimates (pdf).

But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Helium: swollen stars, party balloons and squeaky voices | Dean Burnett :: There are increasing reports of an imminent helium shortage, but why should this be a concern? What is helium used for, apart from balloons? Quite a lot, as it happensHelium supplies are running low. This is cause for concern for some. Others might wonder what the fuss is about.The statement itself may seem bizarre in some respects. How can we be "running out" of the second most abundant element in the known universe? Mankind may have had a substantial impact on the planet's resources, but using up a quarter of all known matter? Even the most extreme environmentalist would have to agree that's a bit of an exaggeration. The atmosphere of Jupiter alone is about 10% helium. Let's not even get started on the sun.

Buzzfeeds: the effects of colony collapse disorder and other bee news :: Concerned about the worldwide bee crisis? Introducing Buzzfeeds, a weekly analysis with our resident bee expertIn the past six years, more than 10m beehives have been wiped out from a mystery disease called colony collapse disorder. This destruction has serious implications on worldwide ecology and economy.Of the 100 crop species responsible for providing 90% of food worldwide, 71 are dependent on bee pollination, according to UN estimates (pdf). It's difficult to pinpoint the financial implications of this destruction, but the international body says pollination is worth between $37bn and $91bn, annually.Stories about the declining population and its effect on the environment trickle through the news cycle each week. To bring awareness to these stories and contextualize the issues, we wil...

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue. How many people are we going to save by spending this $1.4 billion, even assuming it works?To answer that question, let's look at the food illness fatality figures offered by the CDC:• Out of the 5,000 food-borne illness deaths each year in the United States, only 1,809 are "attributable to foodborne transmission" according to the CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no5/mead.htm#Table%203).• E.coli, which is often quoted in the big scare stories about food safety, only kills 78 people a year through food-borne transmission (52 plus 26, fro...

Helium: swollen stars, party balloons and squeaky voices | Dean Burnett :: There are increasing reports of an imminent helium shortage, but why should this be a concern? What is helium used for, apart from balloons? Quite a lot, as it happensHelium supplies are running low. This is cause for concern for some. Others might wonder what the fuss is about.The statement itself may seem bizarre in some respects. How can we be "running out" of the second most abundant element in the known universe? Mankind may have had a substantial impact on the planet's resources, but using up a quarter of all known matter? Even the most extreme environmentalist would have to agree that's a bit of an exaggeration. The atmosphere of Jupiter alone is about 10% helium. Let's not even get started on the sun. Obviously, the problem is we're running out of accessible helium, meaning stuff w...
