Topic 1
I never realized pesticides stayed around for so long, almost like plastic.
I did not know pesticides were developed during WWII.
I did not know some pestricieds can kill enzymes. I find this very interesting, as we are just starting to learn about enzymes in Biology.
Next time we are in the garden, i will think about the pros and cons of pesticides.
Are there any naturally occuring pesticides, as opposed to synthetic?
Topic 2
I do not agree fully with this article. DDT seems like a quick fix or a short-term solution.
I think this is an issue where everyone needs to tread lightly. DDT is both helpful and dangerous.
I agree that DDT should be used, but its use needs to be monitered carefully.
Nex time we am in the garden, I will think about the organic food movement.
Where does DDT come from originally?
Topic 3
I never realised organic food brings so many differant elements to it.
Organic food is has a very large marketing side to it.
I wonder if it costs money to certify your farm as organic.
Next time I am in the supermarket, I will think more thoughtfully about the food I am eating.
Who and when first invented the concept "organic?"
