RE: Of Bats and Infant Mortality

many young people under the age of 20 were already infertile, it was discovered that the river they used for water supply was contaminated with the chemicals they used for crops

That is tragic. I'm sure there are cases all over the world. Surprisingly hard to find them. I don't think the companies and governments want us to know.

Here (on Long Island) we have the issue of nitrogen runoff and herbicide runoff. People want green lawns so they use chemicals to induce that look. Crazy! Every time we have a storm, the chemicals are washed off the lawns and into our surrounding bodies of water. Just to get a greener lawn!!!!

Thank you for your informative and perceptive comment, my friend @abneagro. I hope you and your family are enjoying a peaceful end of summer.
