  9. Is pesticide spray on food leading to movement disorders?
    Precautionary principle - ban paraquat

    "Paraquat and the related herbicide diquat are fast-acting weedkillers that farming groups say are essential for controlling resistant weeds."

    "Multiple epidemiological studies from different groups of scientists have shown that people exposed to paraquat have around a three times greater risk [of developing Parkinson's disease]."

    'The chemicals have been under review by the APVMA since 1997 and they are banned in the EU, the UK and China due to their toxicity.'

    "There are now multiple epidemiological studies or real-world exposure studies that have suggested that paraquat increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by around threefold...Like Australia, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to allow restricted use of the pesticide despite ongoing health concerns." >>

  10. #Parking in #Regina, part 3...

    I submitted a "service request" about paying for #parking meters downtown, because they're going "app-only", and I have no mobile phone.

    I got a #contemptuous email telling me I'd said I was "not comfortable with technology". Fuck you, I'm a software engineer of nearly 3 decades. I responded to say a) I didn't say I wasn't comfortable with tech, and b) it was insulting.

    So I got a second reply today, including this fantastic line:

    > We apologize for the stress caused to you due to the transition of paying
    > for the parking #meters.

    Somebody at City Hall is feeling awfully passive-aggressive.

    Then, today, I got a phone call. This person tried to convince me that this isn't a problem for me, and tried to offer "solutions" which I had already explained were not applicable in my original request:

    1. Park off-street in a private lot. No: it's more expensive, I have no income, and the nearest ones are multiple blocks away from where I need to go. Not practical for someone with #mobility issues, and there are lots of us out here.

    2. Buy a special "park for free at meters" pass. Cost: $1040 plus taxes. This is a giant "up yours" suggestion.

    3. JK, there are no other solutions.

    So I said, "Is it the city's official position that I'm #screwed and can't park downtown to receive medical treatments?" and she said yes.

    I'm fucking tired of #bureaucrats making decisions without caring how it affects #residents.

    Could we do the same thing to the coast of NSW?
    NSW Greens to move bill to let councils better regulate berry industry as it continues rapid expansion

    “People move into these beautiful valleys for the lifestyle and the environment but then wake up one day and within months they are looking at an industrial-scale blueberry farm."

    "Faehrmann’s bill will call for mandated buffers between intensive horticulture farms and homes and waterways, as well as strict controls on spraying, runoff and irrigation and greater monitoring of produce for pesticides."

    "Blueberry farming is rapidly expanding beyond Coffs Harbour, where it began several decades ago, into the Nambucca Valley and the Kempsey area to the south, and west toward Grafton and Bellingen."
