How Can We Stop a Mass Destruction of the Insect Population Worldwide
at 8:12
Answer
There aren’t any good hard global statistics of insects, but it has been suggested that bees, for example, are dying because of inbreeding. We got so carried away using honey bees to pollinate crops, we basically ruined them in the process.
Did you know some cultures eat insects? One thing we could do is to cultivate insects as a food source, thus protecting the native population of those tasties. Also, a lobster is basically a big cricket, maybe we should eat more crickets?
Humans have to accept that we are running the show and are in charge of the planet. We need to start getting people involved and engaged in the world.
