Exposing Neonicotinoids

Dec 14, 2023 - Blog by

Empowering Farmers in the Face of Deceptive Practices Introduction: Hardworking American farmers are dedicated to providing essential crops nationwide and globally. Therefore, recent revelations about commonly used neonicotinoid (neonic) seed treatments—particularly for corn and soybean—have cast shadows of concern. For decades, pesticide companies have been charging farmers a premium price for these seed treatments while misleading farmers about the benefits of these neonic coated seeds. It’s time to question why pesticide corporations push neonic seed treatments that don’t deliver and to understand the far-reaching consequences of this costly deception. The Profit Motive: Caught in the crossfire of a multi-billion dollar industry, farmers’ hard-earned money has unwittingly contributed to the success of neonicotinoids. Corporations that massively profit off of America’s farmers include Bayer, Syngenta, Corteva, and […]

Unveiling Environmental Challenges: EtO’s Impact on Puerto Rico

Sep 19, 2023 - Blog by

Introduction: Startling revelations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have illuminated a concerning environmental issue in Puerto Rico. For decades, communities near four commercial sterilization facilities have been exposed to ethylene oxide (EtO), a cancer-causing gas. This chemical, used for medical equipment sterilization and the production of other chemicals, has prompted health concerns among local residents. Understanding EtO: EtO is a chemical compound with both industrial and medical applications. It’s widely utilized in sterilizing medical equipment and producing products such as plastics, antifreeze, and adhesives. However, the adverse health effects it poses are a cause for concern. Notably, EtO exposure has been linked to cancer, including breast cancer, blood cancer, stomach cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, and brain cancer. EtO is also related to reproductive […]

Union Pacific Railroad’s “Business as Usual” Includes Contaminating Groundwater with Toxic Chemicals and Keeping it Concealed

Feb 27, 2023 - Blog by

Imagine a scene with rail cars lined up at one of Union Pacific’s railyards in Kansas. This railyard happens to be in northeast Wichita, just north of a park where children play and drink well water from a fountain. Next, picture railroad workers back in the 1970s or 80s pouring or spraying a highly toxic chemical on the gears and wheels of the cars to clean the oil and grease buildup. Envision this liquid spilling onto the ground and soaking into the soil, eventually reaching the aquifer approximately 15 feet below the surface. Imagine that degreasing scenario repeatedly happening over the years as hundreds, perhaps thousands of gallons of the cancer-causing liquid, trichloroethylene (TCE), seep into the aquifer, eventually traveling south and impacting Wichita neighborhoods. […]

$600M Settlement reached in Flint water crisis litigation

Aug 24, 2020 - Newsroom by

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel announced some details of the settlement Thursday, Aug. 20, and asked residents for patience as the deal works its way through the legal system. “Several things need to happen before this agreement can be finalized and because of those steps, many of the details must remain confidential for the time being,” Nessel said in a video statement released by her office Thursday morning. A summary of the settlement agreement released by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office says the state will pay $600 million into a qualified settlement fund for the benefit of those individuals, property owners, and businesses who claimed they were injured by the water distributed by the City of Flint while the city used the Flint […]
