I just get the feeling Mother earth might push back at some point.

Remember when you were driving 20 years ago, and you'd have to use the windshield washer all the time to get the bugs off? I can remember having to fill my washer reservoir every week because of all the bugs. My reservoir still has winter fluid in it. There's been a 80-90% drop off in insect biomass in the last few decades. Those are our pollinators. That cannot possibly be good.

YES, it is really bad already, this in my worst year in a long time for squash, tomatoes, etc. Every thing that needs pollinators, production was way down.
