For months now, I have been calling the new president, Agent Orange, and now this...

Trump Halted an Agent Orange Cleanup. That Puts Hundreds of Thousands at Risk for Poisoning.

Diplomats in Vietnam warned Washington that halting USAID’s efforts to clean up the massive deposit of postwar pesticides would be a catastrophe for public health and relations with a key strategic partner in Asia.

In mid-February, Trump administration leaders received a desperate warning from their diplomats posted in Vietnam, one of the most important American partners in Asia.

Workers were in the middle of cleaning up the site of an enormous chemical spill, the Bien Hoa air base, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly halted all foreign aid funding.

Trump wants Europe to buy more U.S. farm goods. But if Trump wants Europeans to eat more American food, he’ll have to convince them to swallow something even tougher: U.S. food safety standards. Europeans might buy American software, movies and weapons, but they aren’t keen on U.S. beef pumped with hormones, chlorine-washed chicken or #GMO corn. Pesticides are another flash point. Today, over 70 different #pesticides banned in the EU remain widespread in U.S. farming.

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.

A newly proposed EPA rule would stop states from implementing stronger pesticide protections than those set by the federal government! It would also shield pesticide manufacturers from pesticide harm lawsuits. Can you join me and submit a comment today to stop this disastrous rule?

(Quick! While there's still an EPA to petition.)

Pesticide Action Network (PAN) UK have published their latest list of the "dirty dozen", a list of the top 12 foods covered in toxic chemicals, so you can avoid them or buy organic. Always worth checking out! This year they also have the all-time top 12 from the last five years

The UK exported 8,500 tonnes of pesticides last year that are banned on British farms because of the dangers they pose to human health and nature.

Under British law, when a pesticide is banned, the ban does not extend to its production or export. This leaves companies free to keep manufacturing these products in the UK to be sold in countries with weaker regulations.

Encore une fois, les neuneus en colère courent ventre à terre derrière les consignes des dirigeants de la #fnsea qui vont une fois de plus les rouler dans la farine en s'en prenant au passage à l'#OFB.
Ensuite, ils chouineront que ça fait mal de se tirer une balle dans le pied !

NOUVELLE VICTOIRE DE GENERATIONS FUTURES:

Nouvelle victoire juridique pour Générations Futures et la biodiversité !

Des exploitations agricoles ont été condamnées pour avoir épandu du glyphosate près de cours d'eau, sans respecter la distance de sécurité en vigueur.

En France, une réglementation existe concernant l'épandage de pesticides de synthèse à proximité de cours d'eau. L'agriculteur doit notamment respecter une distance de sécurité (ou zone de non traitement - ZNT) de 5 mètres.

Si cette distance est insuffisante selon Générations Futures, elle doit être à minima appliquée pour protéger la biodiversité aquatique si fragile !

Or, suite à un travail d'enquête fouillé, des agents de l'Office français de la biodiversité (OFB) ont alerté Générations Futures sur des pratiques délictueuses d'exploitants agricoles situés dans la Drôme.
Ces derniers ont été reconnus coupables d'avoir épandu du glyphosate à proximité de cours d'eau, sans respecter la zone de 5 mètres de non traitement.

Rappelons que le glyphosate peut avoir des effets délétères sur la biodiversité, dont certains ne sont même pas évalués.

Les prévenus n'ayant pas fait appel de la décision du tribunal judiciaire de Valence du 14 octobre 2024, la condamnation est définitive.
