Bugs. Bugs, bugs, bugs. For a self-identified “Germaphobe”, Donald Trump must love bugs, because he’s enabling the EPA to fill our lives with them, in our water, our food and our air.
Last week, I was watching Joy Reid fill in for Rachel Maddow when she aired a story about
Chlorpyrifos, a sarin gas like substance used in pesticides. EPA was about to ban it, then Election Day 2016 happened and well….
Portland Oregon managed to clean up our public drinking fountains last year due to lead contamination, and every other week brings about recalls regarding Romaine lettuce.
Buying organic won’t save you from the bugs.
Buying water filters or bottled water won’t save you from the bugs.
Because not everyone is buying organic or using bottled water and we, and our children, are exposed to them.
Makes the anti-vaxxers look even scarier, doesn’t it?
We pass laws that make cars safer, like mandatory seat belts and standards to bring down pollution.
The EPA does something similar, when it’s allowed to work on our behalf instead of the corporations.
And, WYFP?
