I never knew about the malaria thing, pretty grim when you consider how much human suffering it causes.
I agree that fertilizers and pesticides should be restricted to professionals and tightly controlled. Blanket spraying of fields, for instance, where less than 1% of the herbicide or insecticide gets to its intended target would be banned outright.
I appreciate your stance on protecting life even of it is sometimes inconvenient.
We on the same page. Wish to god we could somehow band together in our common cause. I have no idea how to even find people like us, no idea how to fight.
How do we convince people that buying up pallets of herbicides and pesticides are to be banned? How do we show people that their perfect lawns are deserts? How do we start work on a population that has worse science education than I got in elementary school 70s? And half of them didn’t get it?!
I want to scream. But how to convince people that say, “Well! Bugs aren’t so bad this year!” Yeah, except for the fire ants in places I’ve never seen them. They’re thriving.
I do not know what to do. Probably be moving to the Philippines to take my wife home. Lot’s of reason’s that’s a bad move ATM, but at least life still thrives there, a sort of human “base camp”. Fuck me, if things truly went south around here, there would be about a week worth of squirrels in the woods, and then we’d be starving.
It is hard to organize an environmental movement because it has all been turned into politics. It seems everything has become political including health care now. I am beside myself just like you.
There are some existing movements like Garden for Wildlife though.
Good luck and I think getting out wouldn’t be a bad idea. I took my family to Alaska already because leaving isn’t an option for us. At least I know we could survive here if we had to.
