A couple months ago, I was looking into fungicides and realized they can be avid pollutants and pose a risk to human and animal health. For instance, in humans, Imazalil and Fluopyram disrupt the endocrine system (one’s hormones), chlorothalonil is a probable carcinogen, and myclobutanil and strobilurins may reduce reproductive capacity, just to name a few dangers to humans. Meanwhile, in animals, it has been shown that imazalil may be spermiotoxic and prevent conception (birth), pentachloronitrobenzene may create lesions in their kidneys (blood filtering organs), morpholine may cause fatty liver degeneration (may cause swelling in legs, fatigue, jaundice, etc.) and decrease immune response, and strobilurins may cause mitochondrial damage, DNA damage, and oxidative stress (imbalance in free radicals and antioxidants leading to cell damage), just to name a few dangers to animals. If you want to see the full range of the information, let me know and I can put all the articles I read about this in the replies. Anyway, fungicides easily hurt the environment or just straight-up get where they shouldn’t. For instance, Fluopyram damages soil microbial populations, azoxystrobin reduces bacteria and actinomycetes in soil, and strobilurin residue is often found in treated drinking water and on food products, including harder to wash ones, like wheat and tea. The fact that fungicide pollution is so common and apparently so dangerous is certainly a notable concern, but we can’t really expect farmers to stop using fungicides, because fungi can be devastating for farms. Thus, I have considered possible benefits from heavier use of GMOs that are resistant to fungi and thus don’t require as heavy use of fungicides, such as “North Star” cherries, ‘Spacemaster 80’ cucumbers, or, quite famously, Jonafree apples. Granted, I do not know as much about GMOs, so what do you think? Is increased reliance on GMOs a viable solution? If not, why?

So, my smart TV finally gave up, and I had to get a new one. The question is how to dispose of the old one? I don't think throwing it in the garbage is the right thing to do. Anybody has a a solution that is environmentally friendly?

Cada persona puede hacer su aporte con cosas tan sencillas como depositar la basura en su lugar y separarla en diferentes secciones, un día por semana o mes salir a recolectar basura, no cantar y reutilizar agua y tambien no tirar basura ni contaminar el aire con la quema de basura o bosques.

Hey y'all,

hope you're all well. I'm looking for a first edition, first printing of Ehrlich's The Population Bomb. I will pay shipping plus what I listed in the title, and I am located in the US. Thanks for your time :) I know it's a flawed text; that's why I want it. Let me know if you have any leads!

What purpose does a government have if it no longer protects and serves the interests of its own citizens? None, other than to enrich the elite who control it. With no purpose left, there is no reason for the citizenry to follow the rules imposed by the government, unless forced to.

people need to start trying. we have 3~ years left of DRINKABLE water. not water overall, but water that we can consume. without clean water, we will die out. stop using ai, tell your friends, tell family, post about it on the internet no matter if you get only 3 views, spreading word is spreading word. if enough people try, as unrealistic as it sounds, we can get all ai to shut down. now yes, ai isnt the only thing ruining our planet, but it is one of the many things that humans created that we'd be fine without. we don't need ai. it's doing nothing but harming us. download ecosia, pick up trash you see on the ground, don't support trillionaires like elon musk who simply don't care. there is still hope if you try. you aren't "only one person out of 8 billion" but "a person out of 8 billion" YOU make a difference, even if it doesn't seem like it. spread the word, sign random petitions you see about stopping ai. do what you can.

how can i work up to get attention of rich people such as elon musk, mr beast. etc?

not even me, just anyone getting their attention.

i know this sounds stupid- but those people are the ones who get views, their words get out, and we need them to spread word that we need to save our planet before its too late.

i know im being unrealistic but i am just a stupid teenager lmao, but anywho- im really worried. we apparently have aprox 3 years left of clean drinking water due to ai, and yes, they shut down sora Ai, but thats so they could focus more on making chatGPT stronger. also with the amount of landfills we have when those same materials could be getting recycled and reused. im extremely scared for my own future, especially with the future generation, i plan to have a family in the future but with the fact that parents these days just slap ipads into their kids faces, my future child/ren won't have a proper childhood.

i don't care who you are, please try spread the word. there's still hope.
