Excerpt from this press release from the Center for Biological Diversity:
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday that it has approved emergency use of a bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticide on up to 75,000 acres of Florida citrus crops, including oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, lemons and limes.
This marks the 10th year that the EPA has granted a so-called “emergency” exemption of clothianidin for use on bee-attractive citrus trees in Florida to target the Asian citrus psyllid, the vector for citrus greening disease.
“This is truly a race to the bottom when it comes to the ever-more toxic chemical soup being applied to these fields,” said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “When the EPA grants so-called emergency approval year after year to a pesticide that’s never undergone a full safety review there’s something fundamentally wrong about this approach.”
There are currently 16 different insecticides approved to combat this insect in Florida, including three other neonics: imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and sulfoxaflor, according to the University of Florida.
Imperiled pollinators that will likely be harmed by today’s approval include the American bumblebee, the southern plains bumblebee and the leafcutter bee.
The EPA has routinely circumvented the normal pesticide-approval process by allowing emergency exemptions for predictable and chronic situations that occur over many consecutive years. Emergency exemptions allow the use of pesticides that are either not approved or are approved for some uses but prohibited for certain other uses.
In 2019 the EPA’s Office of the Inspector General released a report finding that the agency’s practice of routinely granting emergency approval for pesticides across millions of acres does not effectively measure risks to human health or the environment.
Yesterday I posted a bit of an article from a 1951 Popular Science about the benefits of burning batteries. (Don't do this today, they're not the same batteries.) But if you want one worse, a magazine called Science & Mechanics shared the recipe for making the banned pesticide DDT in your own home in June 1949.
Chlormequat: A Dangerous New Pesticide Now in People and the U.S. Food Supply
In a groundbreaking study, Environmental Working Group (EWG) found chlormequat, a toxic pesticide, in 80% of people tested. Linked to serious reproductive health issues in animals, its presence in people and popular oat-based foods like Cheerios and Quaker Oats raises serious human health concerns. Hear from EWG experts on what you need to know about chlormequat and how join the fight to get this chemical out of our food and our bodies.
I am sick to death of people whose only source is "I saw it on the internet" claiming our pets are making bird, insect etc species extinct by being allowed to roam freely. Is it good for them/the environment to roam? No, it definitely is not! Is it causing extinction events?
I don't know, go fucking read "Silent Spring" and see for your goddamn self. Is it so hard to believe that maybe, just maybe, there are other (much larger) factors in the mix?
Over 10,000 years of GENETIC MODIFICATION is on your plate!
Any grain, bean, or leafy green is a product of HUMAN INTERVENTION! ANY fruit you can purchase is CHOCK FULL of GMOS.
If you'd like to stay away from genetically modified ingredients, you NEED to start foraging your own food. ANYTHING that can be grown by humans is genetically modified. Think about it... planting something, picking the best crop, replanting, IS genetic modification.
I'll be praying for you and yours 🙏💖
What you are speaking of is selective breeding.
Selective breeding is limited by the life cycle
of the plant and the genetic variants that are
naturally present. Selective breeding is the
process of developing a plant or animal based
on selecting desirable characteristics of the
parent. Selective breeding is the mating process
of two organisms.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are
those that have had their DNA directly altered
through genetic engineering. Introducing new
genes. Genetic modification combines two
organisms that could never breed naturally.
Transgenic crops are not in harmony with
nature. GMOs have been shown to toxically
affect several organs and systems of the body.
These are not the same thing.
More than 70% of foods sold in the US are
derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Yes, it's quite a feat to eat well today and keep one's family safe from frankenfoods and murderous products. But it can be done.
