| Book: 'A Spring Without Bees'
|
|
| posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008

In a riveting detective story that melds science and politics, Michael
Schacker investigates the case of the missing bees, examining the many
theories on the cause, including cell phones, mites, new pathogens, and
bee management. He then examines the evidence against IMD. The book
does much more than illuminate the scientific research, however. Using
CCD as a metaphor for our own human hive, Schacker asks: Are the bees
trying to tell us something? Could this be the warning sign of a much
larger crisis looming directly ahead? Might humankind suffer someday
from “Civilization Collapse Disorder”? And how must we change our
human hive in order to ensure its survival?

If you caught your son burning ants with a magnifying glass, would it
bother you less than if you found him torturing a mouse with a
soldering iron? How about a snake? How about his sister? Such apparently unrelated questions arise in the aftermath of the vote
of the environment committee of the Spanish Parliament last month to
grant limited rights to our closest biological relatives, the great
apes -- chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans.

| The Great Ape Project
|
|

The idea is founded upon undeniable scientific proof that non-human
great apes share more than genetically similar DNA with their human
counterparts. They enjoy a rich emotional and cultural existence in
which they experience emotions such as fear, anxiety and happiness.
They share the intellectual capacity to create and use tools, learn and
teach other languages. They remember their past and plan for their
future. It is in recognition of these and other morally significant
qualities that the Great Ape Project was founded. The Great Ape Project
seeks to end the unconscionable treatment of our nearest living
relatives by obtaining for non-human great apes the fundamental moral
and legal protections of the right to life, the freedom from arbitrary
deprivation of liberty, and protection from torture.

| Vanishing Of The Bees

We receive a lot of submissions of that would like their work to be
featured in Organic Bytes, but this is honestly one of the best
trailers we've seen in a while. As you've probably read about
previously in Organic Bytes, vast numbers of bees are literally
disappearing all around the world. This movie analyzes why this
mysterious phenomenon is taking place and how dramatically it could
impact the world's food supply in the short term. As a note, the
producers are also seeking donations to bring the movie to a wider
audience.
