From Industry to #EPA: #Lobbyist Now Oversees #Pesticide Rules
#KyleKunkler fought for a restricted #weedkiller that can harm plants and wildlife when it drifts to nearby land.
Until recently, Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for America’s #soybean industry. In that job he once boasted of helping to keep a controversial weedkiller called #dicamba in use.
He’s now at the E.P.A., which wants to allow its use.

“This is a dead honeybee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions. Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions.
It’s spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from weed killer spread on what we see as weeds, but what nature sees as food. Please don’t spray for weeds until you see the blackberries blooming. In this area, weeds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until middle of June. There are FAR more weeds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve.”#bee #pollination #garden #weedkiller #pesticide #environment #weeds #dandelion #death #spring #agriculture #farming #food #foodsecurity

This is a dead honeybee - due to 'weed' spraying for dandelions...

Hmm, wondering if our disused wallpaper steamer might find new life as an enviro-friendly #weedkiller for the driveway?

Seems like it should work. Anyone tried that?

#EPA Proposes Allowing Use of #Dicamba #Weedkiller on Some #Crops
Last year, federal court made certain uses of dicamba illegal after #farmers complained it drifts into neighboring fields, damaging their crops. Ban was scheduled to take full effect this year.
EPA, which reviewed dicamba’s uses and found it poses no risk to human health, is now accepting public comment on its proposed decision. It will then decide whether to greenlight the products.

Ashnikko - Possession of a Weapon (MV)

Say you want my body, let me give it to you
Is that what you want, blood and guts?
Pussy teeth to imprison you
Little pills
I don’t wanna get high
I feel an ache where my mind was
I try to think but it’s no use
Tumbleweed, bloody knees
I would crawl through broken glass
to get home

Banned in 67 countries and linked to Parkinson’s disease, paraquat is facing calls for stricter regulation. Yet, Australia’s cotton industry body is urging authorities to maintain current rules. The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has been reviewing this controversial weedkiller for 27 years.
