In the newest edition of Sound Bites, we hear a commentary from Jamie Henn, 350.org co-founder and Strategy and Communications Director, about the dangers of methane being released from the earth as a result of the melting of Arctic ice and frozen Siberian tundra.
Next we talk with Meme Thomas, Director of Baltimore Honey and maker of B’more Hon E brand raw micro local honey, about a recent report on how supposedly “bee-friendly” plants, purchased from some of the big box stores, actually contain neonicotinoid pesticides, which are thought to be responsible in part for the declining bee population.
