It's not a new problem, either. Growing up in a rural, agricultural zone we learned thoroughly about run-off and the potential for harm, and the harm that had happened in the past.
DDT was nearly a curseword. It's etched into my mind that way. (And then the Ramones didn't help that) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT#Use_in_the_1940s_and_1950s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT#Use_in_the_1940s_and_1950s
- nemo44x 6y agoYeah it’s crazy to think that a chemical can be developed that can effectively destroy organic life and we just decide to spray it everywhere. I’ve read things about people that live near certain farms have higher rates of birth defects and diseases like cancer. I can only imagine being exposed to chemicals over and over for years is not only devastating to the local ecosystem but to the people nearby.
