As I watched an airplane at a distance circle around and spray toxic chemicals on agriculture farm land. I started to worry which way the wind was blowing. I little bit of that in my sysytem means liver dysfunction . I wish I could love spring, but spring to me means way to many chemicals being applied to the land of the United States. It means conventional farms spraying tons of chemicals. It means cities spraying around playgrounds, schools spraying and counties spraying. People spraying chemicals all around their houses. Moss chemicals, lawn fertilizers, weed and feed, herbicides, 2-4-D etc.. The list of chemicals that will be used this spring across the US is a Sad and Depressing list. Here are my thoughts today and every spring. My name is Sue, I am the canary of this world. I am the bee, the frog the butterfly and the bat. I am here to represent them and myself. I am here to ask you to think about your purchases that you make. When you buy something that is not organic, that means you have been a part of a sysytem that poisons the land, the animals, the insects, the water and the air. It means you are supporting something that poisons humans. Humans like me are affected immediately. I speak the language that you understand. The rest of the nature world speaks to you but you do not listen. They speak to you in deaths, die offs and sickness. But you still do not listen. I have the voice, to express to you we are at a critical point. I am a canary, and I get sick from the toxins in the environment and there are others like me. A canary in the coal mine represents life or death. Every year I speak of this. I can only hope that our eyes we keep reading and your ears will listen. You can't say you are interested in being sustainable if you do not eat all organic. You can not say you care about the bees dying off if you support toxic conventional agriculture, dye your hair, paint your nails, use any products that have petroleum and synthetics in them. I think you are getting my point. I might even be offending you. But if you are offended it is because I have hit a sore spot. And you know that you contribute to poisoning this world. Concerned for China and it's people? I would hope we are all concerned for them. After all, we are the consumers who purchase the many things that are not needed that are made in China. Therefore we are a part of the toxic air pollution that is going on over there. We are a part of the deaths in China that are happening due to the extreme pollution. Again you can change the world by what you purchase. As spring approaches, I can't help but notice all the chemicals that are being applied to the land on a daily basis. With topics like sustainability, bee deaths, water pollution and cancer rates at a all time high you would think we would make laws to stop these insane practices of spraying toxic chemicals on our food, in the water ways and on the food that is grown for animals. When you see yellow and orange around the trees, the waterways on highways, in the farm fields, around the hazelnut orchards, fruit orchards, nut orchards you know they have applied toxic cancer causing chemicals. I have also learned in my county the Yamhill County Soil and Water Conservation District will use and does use toxic chemicals (Herbicides). WT.....???? Folks Herbicides are toxic... Here I am again, in the 8th year in a row, standing on my soapbox, yelling PLEASE CHANGE, THINK ABOUT YOUR PURCHASES, YES YOU ARE APART OF THIS PROBLEM AND PLEASE CHANGE BEFORE WE HAVE A SILENT SPRING.......
UNSUSTAINABLE - TOXIC TO US ALL
