“There were elders who started to get sores in their mouths because of the pesticides. We use our mouths to help in basket weaving,” Young says.

“And then if you’re cooking in these baskets and the material has been sprayed, then people can be ingesting it.”

Wanton acts of environmental destruction
The large-scale incinerating of oil wells

"Tehran’s toxic cloud: satellite images show oily fires burned for days. Residents reported headaches, eye and skin irritation and breathing difficulties as Israeli bombings blanketed Tehran with pollutants. Satellite images of Tehran show toxic fires caused by Israeli bombings on oil depots were still burning days after the strikes, which have caused fears of serious health complications for millions of residents in the Iranian capital." >>

In this area of NSW, on the 'holiday' Mid North Coast we are all to familiar with black rain, soot and toxic air pollution caused by the NSW government's Forestry Corporation. After logging and spraying with pesticides everything is incinerated and send into the atmosphere and lungs. >>

"... Poor pesticide spraying practices in the Nambucca Valley and Coffs Harbour regions...Chemical banned by European Union still used in Australia."

When you drive from Nambucca Valley to the Coffs Harbour regions you can see giant white plastic nets enclosing blueberries, raspberries and blackberries plantations. There are toxic chemicals on some berries, the water and the area.

"Banned chemical thiometon detected in berries sold at supermarkets."

"Blueberry farming has boomed in NSW, including in the Nambucca Valley, as minimal red tape is required to set up. Blueberry farms can be started without formal registration or oversight, making it hard for authorities to track pesticide use. Since January 2022, the EPA has prosecuted 21 pesticide-related incidents across a range of crops in local courts across NSW... The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) announced a review into the use of dimethoate on blueberries, raspberries and blackberries."

Imported pests and broad-spectrum pesticide regulation

"A “wildly toxic” chemical used to combat fire ants and the varroa mite in Australia is banned in Europe and harmful to humans – and it is poisoning waterways and killing native fauna, experts warn."

"Australia is “a basket case” in that the chemical regulator answers to the department of agriculture, rather than to the department of health, as in Japan, the US and Europe, said Landos."

"NSW MP Emma Hurst of the Animal Justice party said: “It is time for Australia to catch up to the rest of the world and ban fipronil.”"

1st bloom has emerged 🙌

#Anthurium #andraeanum ( #AKA #FlamingoFlower or #LaceLeaf or #PaintersPalette ). The #flowers are called #inflorescences & have two parts: the #spathe & the #spadix . This type of inflorescence is a #hallmark of the #plant family #Araceae that Anthurium adraeanum belongs to.

In #NASA ’s #CleanAir #Study - A. andraeanum was #scientifically #proven to #remove #toxins like #formaldehyde & #ammonia from the air 🥰
