POPSGlobalized Contamination The article points out that these contaminants are traveling around the world through the atmosphere and coming in for a landing wherever and whenever they fall to Earth via rain or snow. Mountain areas are particularly susceptible because they "catch" the pollutants as they fly by in high altitude winds. We are all interconnected, and yet we have no real institutions that are functioning on these issues in a globally interconnected way.

POPSArtificial flavours kill plant pests Some of the insects that eat the plant pests, are absent in fields today, because of Monoculture-where only one species, like wheat,corn or rice is planted. The predator insects, need nectar, which is remote from a cultivated field. The banana and mint aromas may attract them, but for them to stay they need plants with nectar to survive.
