The Environmental Protection has again concluded that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, is safe to use and unlikely to cause cancer, prompting both praise and criticism. “EPA has thoroughly evaluated potential human health risk associated with exposure to glyphosate and determined that there are no risks to human health from the current registered uses of glyphosate and that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans,” the agency said in an interim registration review decision announced today. The agency also issued . . .

FYI

Is the EPA completely freaking crazy?

Studies showing the harmful effects of smoking first started being published in the 1930s but it took over 7000 articles before the Surgeon General and the AMA to finally publicly state that smoking was unhealthy in the early 1960s. In the meantime, many thousands if not millions died because of smoking. How many diseases, deaths, dead aggricultural fields, infertile couples, autoimmune diseases… all linked to glyohosate, will it take before we ban this poison already?

new article in the Guardian examines the plastic in the ocean that we cannot see. Plastic pollution news usually takes the form of toothbrushes and the Great Pacific Garbage patch, but much of the plastic in the ocean is not visible. Because of the size of the plastic, it’s difficult to estimate and know just how much plastic is in the oceans.
The plastic we can see is only .5% of the total plastic, oceanographer Erik Van Sebille told the Guardian. The surface plastic is only part of the plastic pollution problem. Scientists are now studying how much plastic ends up on the ocean floor.

And scientists are concerned about how plastic breaks down so much it’s almost undetectable. In the Guardian, a biogeochemist, Helge Niemann, called plastic, ” more like a chemical dissolved in the water than floating in it.”
A research paper by Van Sebille and colleagues estimated that 196 million tons of plastic are in the deepest part of the oceans. Scientists continue to study the deep waters and the accumulated plastic.
What is known is that we need to reduce our use of plastics. Read more about plastic on beaches, including the Midway Atoll and on an island in England. There are products you may be using or habits you may have that contribute to plastic pollution. Learn more about how the use of Teabags, Cotton Swabs, Laundry, Contact Lenses, Glitter and Sheet Masks pollute our oceans so you can make more informed decisions going forward. There are also numerous simple actionsand switches that can help cut plastic out of our lives including, making your own cosmetics, shampoo, toothpaste, soap, household cleaners, using mason jars, reusable bags/bottles/straws, and avoiding microbeads!

FYI.

i am also guilty of over-buying, which is the only way we will stop the pollution.

In the mean time, filter your water and don;t eat fish. It’s ALL contaminated.
