August Our Toxic National Parks.
Brighten your day a little Carrol King’s Jazz Man
As the title above says: We _have_ to create safe zones. That is one of the reasons I started this #_OTNP project. I initially thought it would be very hard. But I must admit that I thought it would be a tiny bit easier than the sierra club, and our national park administrators have chosen to make it. 😀 https://www.puravidaaquatic.com/wordpress/why-i-started-this/
I believe that safe zones from pesticide use are critical to the environment and our own ability to survive on this planet. It is not as sexy as climate change. It is not as sexy as going to Mars. It is not as sexy as buying a new electric car. Worrying about chemical structures and chemical names and the chemicals making up adjuvants and pesticides is not sexy.
It is also not easy. Yes, I am reusing pictures. They seemed appropriate, and I have been worrying about these other (non-sexy😀) things!
What _is_ easy, is for some of my readers here to actively participate in three little easy steps to do. I am quite sure I can’t do this alone and that I need the assistance of _you_, and _all_ our so-called “environmental” groups.
I believe that a mean little, wildly efficient carnivore, that eats its prey alive, is _beautiful_ and desperately needs your help. Help in virtually the same way your children do.
In the last two decades America’s pesticide use rate has increased 500%.
If you are a parent, one of the most important things you can possibly do for your child is provide them with not more, but less pesticides in their world. If you care about your child at all, you must care about _their_ children, whom they will love just as much as you love them now. I believe that all of the Christmas /Hanukkah /Islamic /Kwanzaa /holiday presents _combined_ cannot come close to equaling a world for them with pesticide safe zones. Would that not be the best present of all time!
We need pesticide safe zones that have not been heavily sprayed with the latest greatest biocide. Zones that have the biodiversity that we still have today. Biodiversity that is less than we had yesterday but more than if we continue to let the pesticide industry rule as they have.
We should not be spending the time and effort on banning individual pesticides, individual classes of chemicals, or individual products until the next one comes along. Our national parks _should_ have been those safe zones; they are not. Instead, they are the personal playgrounds of the large pesticide producers.
We can reacquire _Our_ National Parks as safe zones; but only if we encourage our environmental groups to be environmental groups again.

If you want safe zones.
If you think that that is even remotely a good idea.
If you care about our children.
then you must help acquire them.
ProPublica is an interesting publication and one of their current projects identified a group of “connected political nonprofits — with names like American Breast Cancer Coalition and National Coalition for Disabled Veterans — that appear to be funneling more than 90% of donations to fundraisers.”
I highly recommend that you do not continue to waste money contributing to organizations simply because their name sounds wonderful, or their name has been active in the past, or they have a particularly good advertising department.
As always I wish you all the best.
