On the anniversary of the passing of Rachel Carson, 4/14/64, we have much to be thankful for. Her landmark book, _Silent Spring_, launched the modern environmental movement. To honor her memory, here’s a wonderful biopic: https://t.co/LEZem0fDpO #pesticides #climatecrisis

Ask our environmental organizations to provide basic information on what pesticides the national parks are spraying.
I love biology. I am absolutely horrified that there is not the smallest bit of land in all of America that cannot legally be sprayed with the latest greatest toxins.
We _must_ generate safe zones.
We _must_ create plots of land that cannot be sprayed with all manner of toxic chemicals.
These areas could have and should have been our national parks. But instead our toxic national parks are toxic. And they are hiding their large scale pesticide use.
Enough! Our Toxic National Parks #_OTNP, are simply pesticide enablers.

Most people have no idea of the tonnage sprayed on this country as “Inactive ingredients” or “proprietary” ingredients.
What do you think?
If it’s a big secret, should it really be sprayed on literally millions of acres of public land?
This is literally why we have forever chemicals now contaminating our environment along with pesticides and other toxic substances.
The manufacturers have gotten away too long with claiming that they are careful, they study these secret ingredients carefully, for all of our good “it must be kept secret”
Big business is really good at secrets but the only good is….
Is the toxicity _they_ get to hide from us.

My friends it is not just the forever chemicals! It is the thousands and thousands of completely unregulated and untested adjuvants sprayed mainly with poorly tested pesticides —

WOW
_You_ can do something about this. _You_ can encourage our environmental groups to be environmental groups again in three easy steps.
The very best to you all
