<\/p>\nOTNP December 2025
\nGood morning lovely people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Release the kid in you!<\/p>\n
A kid\/child almost never hesitates with a hug. They throw themselves enthusiastically into the connection. I would encourage all of my readers to be more childlike. Let your “kid” out regularly!<\/p>\n
Hug your friends! Hug your lovers! Hug anyone; because hugs are the one thing that you can _always_ give away more than you get.<\/p>\n Children are awesome. They are willing to hug far more than adults.<\/p>\n But we are killing our children with our adult laziness, our adult carelessness, our adult greed. Children are not greedy. Sure they are self-centered but they are not greedy in the way many adults are.<\/p>\n We _must_ start protecting our children from the chemical atrocities that we adults are generating. If our children are brain damaged by neuro-chemical toxins they never even stand a chance.<\/p>\n Our California department of pesticide \u201cregulation\u201d needs to start _\u201dregulating\u201d_ pesticides better. Having a sort-of-okay database is not good enough!<\/p>\n Does the california department of pesticide regulation (cdpr) just want a \u201csort-of-okay” database just so that they can say \u201cwe have a database!\u201d?<\/p>\n Or, do they want a quality tool to use to help protect Californian children from the toxic chemicals that are being sprayed on their hugs.<\/p>\n Not only is our California farm $profit selling our drinking water to other states and countries but our adult greed is spraying megatons of damaging chemicals into our kids environment and on our kids schools in pursuit of this greed.<\/p>\n Californians for Pesticide Reform call current cdpr regulation of 1,3-D \u201cRacist.\u201d There is a demand for a phaseout of soil fumigants and 1-Mile buffer zones around schools. A 1 mile buffer zone free of agricultural pesticides around schools would be awesome! But the pesticide companies are already pushing to be in sole charge of the pesticide use in _all_ public schools. (ipm) integrated pest management is clearly the pesticide industries\u2019 PR program. https:\/\/www.puravidaaquatic.com\/wordpress\/why-i-started-this\/<\/a><\/p>\n California farms applied millions of pounds of PFAS to key crops, study finds |The Guardian Cancer is one thing; brain damage is a completely different scale! Anything that is shown to damage neurons is unforgivable<\/p>\n And; even if the chemical is technically “restricted\u201d, by the cdpr they allow it to be easily \u201capproved\u201d by application businesses.<\/p>\n _All_ of the pesticides listed below for use in California have a connection to neurological damage<\/p>\n Bifenthrin | Insecticide (pyrethroid\/PFAS) | Millions of lbs | Lambda-cyhalothrin | Insecticide (pyrethroid) | Acres (~2\u20133 million) | Paraquat | Herbicide | ~300\u2013400k lbs\/year | Strongest evidence for Parkinson’s<\/p>\n Oxyfluorfen | Herbicide |~1.5\u20132 million acres) | Oxidative stress\/neurobehavioral effects in animal studies; emerging developmental concerns.<\/p>\n Abamectin | Insecticide\/miticide | High acres treated (~1.5\u20132 million) | GABA\/glutamate disruption; neurodevelopmental toxicity in models; aversive effects on brain signaling.<\/p>\n Malathion | Insecticide (organophosphate) | Prenatal exposure linked to ADHD, lower IQ, autism risk; cholinesterase inhibition affects brain development.<\/p>\n Trifluralin | Herbicide (PFAS) | High usage in row crops | Developmental neurotoxicity; potential endocrine\/brain signaling disruption.<\/p>\n Maneb (or mancozeb formulations) | Fungicide (ETU-producing) | Declining but still used (~100k+ lbs) | Strong Parkinson’s link (dopaminergic toxicity; synergistic with paraquat).<\/p>\n Cypermethrin (related pyrethroid) | Insecticide | High in urban\/ag overlap | Neurodevelopmental delays; hyperactivity, cognitive impacts; brain inflammation in models.<\/p>\n The strength of the above evidence varies \u2014 paraquat and maneb have the most robust Parkinson’s data; others rely on animal models, and mechanistic studies. We must encourage California to stop putting adult greed before children’s hugs. And before the science.<\/p>\n We desperately need Please ask our environmental organizations to provide basic information on what pesticides the national parks are spraying.
