Toxic pesticide levels found in tampons 40 times higher than legal limit for water |The Guardian
theguardian.com/environment/20

"Glyphosate, a pesticide linked to cancer, found at very high levels in menstrual products in the UK, according to report"

"It is thought this pesticide could have ended up in the tampons because weedkillers are used to grow cotton, a key ingredient."

"The UK government has no plans to tackle chemicals in period products"

Chiffres de la honte ! La formule de ce collectif qui rassemble de nombreuses victimes des #pesticides au changement d'indicateur de l'utilisation de ces produits de synthèse illustre leur sentiment.

C'est un feu vert à la poursuite de pratiques écocidaires.qui risquent encore de s'amplifier si les mesures en débat au parlement cette fin mai sont adoptées .

COLLECTIF DE SOUTIEN AUX VICTIMES DES PESTICIDES DE L’OUEST · Communiqué de presse - Pesticides : les chiffres de la honte - COLLECTIF DE SOUTIEN AUX VICTIMES DES PESTICIDES DE L’OUESTChanger d’indicateur permet-il vraiment de prétendre que la situation s’améliore ? C’est en tout cas la méthode du gouvernement pour annoncer triomphalement un recul spectaculaire de l’utilisation des pesticides. Une déclaration qui sonne comme une gifle pour les malades des pesticides, pour les riverains exposés aux épandages et pour tous ceux qui œuvrent à la […]

I'd be super grateful for help from California folks who frequent hardware and feed stores. If you see Spartan Mosquito Pro Techs for sale, would you please take a photo and send to me? I'm especially interested in pics from the 64 Home Depot locations that claim to have them in stock. The pesticide product does not have a registration to be sold in the state and I'm trying to get the manufacturer fined ($10,000 per instance). It's a scam device and the company deserves to go bankrupt ASAP. #HomeDepot #mosquitoes #california #pesticides #mississippi #epa #scam

Store display of boxes of Spartan Mosquito Pro Techs, with various claims such as "kill mosquitoes on any property up to 1 acre for up to 30 days" and "100% American made." Each box has a photograph of a mosquito on it. $24.97 per box.
Listing of addresses of Home Depots that illegally sell the Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech, a plastic tube filled with sugar, yeast, water, and boric acid. Next to each location is the number of boxes in stock. At the bottom is the total available: 6,926.

#RFK. Jr. Has Unlikely Allies in His Drive to Limit #Atrazine
In Europe, #weedkiller atrazine has been banned for nearly two decades because of its suspected links to reproductive problems like reduced sperm quality and birth defects.
In the #UnitedStates, it remains one of the most widely used #pesticides, sprayed on #corn, #sugarcane and other #crops, result of years of industry #lobbying. It has been detected in #drinkingwater of 40M Americans.

One of these people really wants to sell you a book. One of them wants to dispel fear-mongering and disinformation. It's very obvious which is which.

Dr. Aly Cohen wants you to believe that any synthetic chemical is harmful to your health. On the contrary, your body cannot tell the difference between a synthetic chemical and its 'natural' counterpart. Dr. Andrea Love does a really great job of explaining the science.

Dans @mediapart je reviens sur le coup de frein inattendu à l'agriculture dopée aux #pesticides, venu ces mardi et mercredi de la commission développement durable de l'Assemblée Nationale : l'essentiel de la proposition de loi "Duplomb", qui veut (entre autres) réintroduire les #néonicotinoïdes, a été rejeté.

Il y a urgence à remettre en cause le modèle agricole actuel pour un modèle plus soucieux de l’intérêt général que des profits de certains, notamment en matière de #santé publique & #biodiversité, il en va de notre santé à tout-es, mais aussi de notre démocratie. #pesticides

-> Bloem sees a growing failure to confront their long term impact on the human brain. Evidence from the field is becoming harder to ignore. “It’s not that we don’t know enough. It’s that the system is not built to listen when the answers are inconvenient.”
Sometimes i believe that people prefer to live in ”don’t look up” mode & talk about climate change & genders, instead of managing real threats to humanity like these ones.
