The Answer My Friend is Blowing In The Wind. The Answer Is Blowing In The Wind: This man works for the City of Reno. As I write, he is outside my front door spraying Roundup on weeds. To me this is concerning enough. Factor in it's 2 p.m. and there are lots of people (to include children, babies, the elderly, myself and my dog) out and about walking. Ducks, geese, and birds feeding and resting mere feet from where he sprays. This man no sooner sprays a bush then an unwitting dog owne...r walks past and allows his/her animal to stop and sniff. I asked the man if he was spraying poison. He ignored me. I asked again and he replied "I'm spraying Roundup." I called the City and asked them to explain their logic of spraying poison with people and animals direcly underfoot. I was told "Roundup is not dangerous" and they have the official documents on file to support the claim (big money buys a lot of official documents and I don't, for a moment, believe Roundup is not harmful to anything other than weeds. Bullshit). I am far from a bleeding heart. Like many people...I have turned a blind eye to things like this because I didn't 'know what to do. It's easier to do nothing rather than something. As well, I dont want to be one of those people shouting about the ills of the world...but I tell you...poison is poison. Do not be fooled or lulled into complacency. Roundup DOES affect you and your family. It is killing our weeds, yes... but it is also killing our bees and sickening both animals, people, and YOU. This is not acceptable. What's a weed compared to this? #downwithmonsanto #roundup #poison #bigmoney #unpopularpost #werekillingourselves
