1. misleading title

it is crucial that we protect bees and the environment, but it is so much bigger than our "almond milk obsession"

one of the most important thing we can do is get rid of trump and the Republicans so that we can restore the EPA, put regulations back in place and have people running the government that respect the land

6. The new budget if enacted

will cut 26% of the EPAs funding.

3. Great article. We sacrifice far to much for higher output and yields.

Without honey bees we are done. I don't believe small amounts of Roundup are OK to consume. I support the honey bees and not the chemical corporation, Bayer.

4. Where is the milk of human kindness?

I would bet that oat milk is the most ecologically friendly.
I read that there is a real correlation between cows milk consumption and growing taller as children. We have to create nutritious alternatives.

5. I greatly prefer oat milk to any other plant milk.

I don't know if it is more ecologically friendly, but I hope so.
