Wow, how can a city not do their due diligence on this? Literally poisoning the people they serve.

  Because cities are run by people and out whole civilization’s incentives structure has been turned upside down and inside out for at least 100 years now. When there are Not only no consequences, but also immense rewards and any few consequences are simply calculated into the operating budget, it leas to all these types of things we see today all across the western world where corruption, fraud, public plunder, and degeneracy are rampant and well being the house of cards down in some period.

  The article says the soil mixture is available to residents and being used by the city to restore damaged boulevards. None of this is being communicated as being sold to farms for growing produce. It seems like they probably are doing due diligence and they’re not poisoning the people they serve. They talk about the city using it for fill soil on their site. They do have a picture suggesting it might be usable in a garden but that’s it. https://gyr.fortlauderdale.gov/greener-government/natural-resources-preservation/beach-preservation-and-ocean-wildlife/keeping-our-beaches-clean/seaweed-composting https://gyr.fortlauderdale.gov/greener-government/natural-re... I suggest if you’re concerned that you email them and let them know not to suggest using it for gardening.

  It's not like the city created this. It's already in the water and and on the beach.
