Another reason to stop the aerial spraying of #pesticides - (spoiler alert: there is zero evidence this spraying reduces disease).

New study: "increase in neonicotinoid and pyrethroid use is a major driver of changes in occupancy across hundreds of wild bee species. In some groups, high pesticide use contributes to a 43.3% decrease in the probability that a species occurs at a site." nature.com/articles/s4189โ€ฆ

Tree planting and biodiversity offsets give the impression we can just create nature, or replace what we destroy. But we cannot No technology can create a 500 yr old tree, the only thing that can is 500 yrs Nature is irreplaceable, and we must treat it as such

And the more we aerially spray, the more we make pesticide resistant mosquitoes, and likely push the diseases into new places. ๐Ÿคฌ (Not to mention contaminating our water and killing pollinators.) Use repellant. Fix holes in screens. Don't use widespread pesticides.

Apparently today is Plastic Overshoot Day, the day when annual plastic production exceeds global capacity to manage it Sounds like nonsense to me Our planet's capacity to manage plastic is zero. Plastic overshoot day is January 1st

Failure to disclose fraud indicators not only undermines our ability to combat fraud in EPA programs, but it also jeopardizes the EPAโ€™s mission to protect public health. Learn more about our concerns and measures the EPA can take to address them: epaoig.gov/reports/investโ€ฆ

This shows an *astounding* lack of understanding of ecology. Just...mind-blowingly stupid. Solar panels belong on buildings, parking lots, landfills, and median strips of highways, not in intact ecosystems. We cannot electrify our way out of this mess. #overshoot ๐Ÿคฌ

And this is PRECISELY why we need to protect biodiversity. And why we need to take ecology into account with every decision. And why we're screwed. #overshoot

It's REALLY hard not to get political on this space, but this ... this should transcend politics. This is unacceptable. We do NOT have to live like this. My heart breaks for these kids and teachers. ๐Ÿ’” It's the guns. I am so angry.

Hey, Twitter! Any environmentally-minded people live within easy driving distance of Calhoun, GA who wants to do some undercover work?
