Not enough people are catching the urgency here.

Heck all those pesticides may be one of the reasons there are so many Trump supporters to begin with.

I've often wondered about all the billions of gallons of Roundup used on all the farms everywhere in this country. Doesn't it eventually leach into the aquifers and pollute the rivers and streams as runoff? Doesn't a significant amount of people in flyover country still use wells for their personal water?

I sure hope someone enlightens President-elect Biden that our water is our life.

resistant to round up, but the weeds develop resistance, and more and more is used.

And I do wonder if the neo-nicotinics are affecting peoples minds. Nicotine attaches to neuroreceptors, so I'm wondering if the pesticides attach more permanently causing an agitated state of mind.

DuPont has been in business in Delaware since before the Revolution, and supplied gunpowder to our military for just about every war since. Disappointing but kind of predictable.
