Debbie, Tom
We are working with the Center for Food Safety on an important actionto deal with the honeybee demise.
We need Sierra Club members who visited the Iowa WMD (which is in
North Central and NW Iowa)
or are engaged in hiking, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, educational
activities, etc., and are concerned about farming with pesticides and GE crops in these areas.Have you been there and/or can you find Sierra Club members who have?
