Glyphosate’s real cost is hiding in plain sight. When it does the job it’s intended to, natural biodiversity is wiped out. Quebec banned aerial spraying in forestry over 20 years ago. It’s far past time for the rest of Canada to catch up. davidsuzuki.org/expert-artic…
Glyphosate's real cost is hiding in plain sight

Glyphosate's real cost is hiding in plain sight

Governments and industry say glyphosate is safe when used as directed. But in forestry, killing plants is the point — with consequences for biodiversity, Indigenous food systems and rights.

English-language version of brilliant Dutch exposé of the pesticide industry PR tactics used to keep #glyphosate on the market and attack scientists who raise concerns. Harvard's @NaomiOreskes among the contributors. The pay off at the end is priceless 💣youtube.com/watch?v=KOkWahiU…

Extremely important discussion in Norwich today. With major water pollution issues across the city and county, you can guess who didn't show. Environment Agency offices are just 0.6 miles away, along with key figures from Anglian Water at 1.4 miles.. youtube.com/live/PL-qFbvCM1w

Has New Zealand learned nothing from ‘Bovaer’ in Denmark? 🐄 Danish Farmers and their cows found out the hard way. 😔 And that was only a synthetic feed addictive. Imagine what experimental mRNA methane injections could do? KEEP GE IN THE LAB, NOT OUR FOOD. 🇳🇿✋ #nzpol #farming #newzealand
