A few years back when I was an active activist for Friends of the Earth we managed to get the pesticides banned. It never occurred to me that that would be rescinded. However, I have done a bit of research since hearing this and apparently many countries over the last couple of years have been steadily doing it also, to the extent that the position is virtually back to where it was 15 years or so ago. I was really sickened to hear this, the repercussions are enormous.. so sad. Will ,of course, carry on protesting etc, but am a bit cynical as to the result. Decidedly depressing
