- What “they” don’t tell in the Earth Day celebrations!
Part 1 the Cities
All nature is related in some form. For example, bees pollinate plants it’s pretty commonly known. But when those bees get exterminated, because people fret about mosquitoes in their yard, guess what you’re not gonna have very many plants blooming same reason why you see a decline in lightning bugs… specially in the Kansas City area where I live.
When I was a boy, the yard was full of lightning bugs now-not as common. These are just two examples of what happens when you use insecticides on lawns. Collateral damages happen. One day I watched one of the service people from Mosquito Joe’s spraying insecticide for mosquitoes on lawn and, smartly, he was wearing a mask and not the type of mask you wore with Covid nonsense but an actual gas mask.
“Do you think it’s really safe to spray what you’re spraying, is it safe for the pets for children for humans?” I asked.
“As long as you don’t inhale it directly, it is safe.” He said confidently.
“So I guess you’re poisoning me right now because I can smell it!” I said.
He went back to spraying.
And that’s just me… If it kills mosquitoes, it kills other things to like the lightning bugs and the bees, and the ladybugs and all the other critters, and it has toxic effects on your pets in your children and you, as those toxins get into your skin it stays in your body and that’s what causes Cancer amongst other things. These are neurotoxins and it’s not just with the pesticides and insecticides but also with fertilizers.
Consider this, do you have children? Or pets? Does your neighbor utilize companies like mosquito Joe’s …your neighbors poisoning you all.
The critters that eat the insects that die from insecticides are getting poisoned as well.
Birds, bats, dragonflies, frogs, spiders, (just to name a few)
eat mosquitos!
Another thing to consider to is all these insecticide‘s in pesticides and fertilizers are running off into or water supplies or poisoning anything in an ecosystem with water, and eventually getting out to the oceans, and the tributary‘s, estuaries, and there’s no way to filter these out of your drinking water. Which means that if you’re drinking any kind of water, whether it’s bottled water or tapwater, you’re going to be ingesting some of these insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers.
Want to help the Earth? Don’t use any man-made product that is a pesticide, insecticide or fertilizer. Period. We must get to a point where we do not poison the Earth and the food we eat… as many of the people that grow our food use these products as well on the food. Organic food… That’s a joke. Trust me pesticides and insecticides are used.
I would like to encourage you to read the silent spring by Rachel Carson. Almost everything you do (cause) has a direct (effect) on our world. That’s important to remember. Kind of future you creating for the future generations? You have to want to make a change. There’s plenty of information out there. But the below links and Silent Spring is a good place to start.
One Earth, one home let’s save it!
peace and love.
