After reading the material provided and watching the videos, the most important thing that stands out to me is creating a safer environment. Many approaches can take place to eliminate hazardous chemical use.
One policy that could be put in place is creating a safer environment by implementing rules to monitor the use of pesticides. I think that since pesticides have such a great impact on our health and are found in almost all of our food, it is important to create a safer environment by their elimination as much as possible.
Either by completely eliminating pesticides or placing laws to monitor the use and replacing them by safer options, we can look at a better future for the human race. Although, not all may be on the same page in the beginning but I think by taking the first step towards this goal, it will eventually work better.
We definitely need better monitoring practices when it comes to chemicals such as these. If we absolutely need to use them, better safeguards must be in place to protect people from further harm. I agree that either this or complete elimination is the best way to go about improving the future of humanity!
ReplyDeleteI think you make some great points above about elimination and effective chemical policy. I was really interested to learn more about the Louisville Charter, and especially about how the movement grew out of the toxicity of the town itself. Grassroots-level initiatives such as these are critical to pushing chemical policy forward, and offer a great deal of promise for our future.
