Dear Erin & Suzanne; Thanks so much for your efforts to help us all improve our quality of life & become more educated & empowered! Would be spectacUlar if y'all did a this is what I like sort of report on what you do & use around your homes & for your loved ones too. Cleaning techniques, preferred products, garden techniques, water filtration, favorite foods & things to do, pet tips yadda yadda! Good news & views we could use & be enthused or amused. FYI facebook/instagram is doing a platform creators push coming in 2022 & if you had a FB show that's be the place to learn, live & go to grow show! Thanks for being HumanKIND!
Ed Rosenthal, maker of Florikan fertilizer in Florida also saw the need to help stop the Florida horrors on on-going & ever growing Red Tide & toxic algae bloom(s) crisis plaguing our nations. The products they developed are even used to grow food by NASA in space! I look to NASA for all kinds of science proven facts by their own employees & outside contributors for facts & science. I love science & wish we'd utilize IRL ancient history + science proven facts & acts will continue to kick our butts & make us all sicker quicker until we learn how to stop the proverbial burn.... Utility companies use this stuff which also contributes to the fire chaos & crisis in areas of our country so they don't have to mow the grass... Agriculture farms small & large use these products & it runs into our lakes rivers & streams which is also a majority of our drinking water supplies.... These toxic chemicals sold to the public & beyond weed killers are also a huge contributing factor in creating the run-off mess & algae blooms of doom & our water contamination distress which is the total opposite of Good Faith business practices.... Americans can do better working to educate & empower together.... For the record my grandparents grew dandelions in a special section of their garden for salads! They have healing properties for humans & are a life saving food source for bees.... FYI if you yard has dandelions that means you have a calcium deficiency & you can easily change that without deadly killer lawn impacts... It's do or die without any valid alibi for the ramifications that infiltrates all our 4 oceans... Logic & reason is always in season... We have laws about dogs running lose & owners picking up dog poop but not the poisoning of our invaluable resources? Detrimental & cumulative impacts to Mother Nature is creating mass dead zones, effectively making it official there's no safe place to call home for all circle of life creatures, animals & humanKIND. We literally hold the answers to nearly everything in the palm of our hands, with a flick of the finger we can have a better survival for life game plan... We can see beyond black holes & the farthest stars & make plans to settle people on Mars but decide to allow corporations to get billions in subsidies + tax breaks all while we pay the price with our health, lives & future... Crimes against earth & humanity insanity = POPP! Poison On Purpose Profits STOP IT! #PoisonOnPurposeProfits #ForAllKidsSake
excellent article, which reminds me of a question I have: how to get rid of leftover jugs round-up left by a former co-dweller (I did NOT remind him of the stuff when he left, not wanting it used on his new lawn, etc . . .) - leaving it on the "nasty chemicals" shelf at the county dump will make it free for someone else to use . . . how do I get RID of the junk?!!!! Anything I can pour into the remaining stuff to modify/disarm it? HELP!!! sigh . . . Thanks!
Call your local county/city hazardous waste disposal unit and they can dispose of it safely. The stuff properly diluted breaks down in soil when the temperatures of the soil reach a certain temperature (somewhere above 90F over time). But that is just using it. The bottles probably have concentrated residue in them. One MSDS says 115F will begin to break it down, but there is nothing that says how long that will take. Most farmers pressure rinse the bottles and then use the rinse water to make a new batch and spray it on their field.
The only sure, safe, approved way is to take it to a hazardous waste program for high temperature incineration.
and GREAT LUCK! countywide annual hazardous waste collection (which I only found out about via search per your comment/post, thank you!) next Saturday - a waste disposal outfit from out of state is coming several hundred miles, and this is NOT an event where people can pick up free abandoned old paint, pesticides and lawn poison - I called to check - yaaay!!!
thanks, Ken - I'll look for such a waste program - the local "intelligence" is to put it on a shelf in the dump for someone else to claim . . . high temp incineration sounds like nasty out-gassing, but presumably there are filters to keep bad stuff out of the air? (And I live on what ideal planet that's not being destroyed by idiots who don't take chemical poisoning seriously?!!!)
Everyone needs to read this! E V E R Y O N E! I missed this earlier!
Thank you for this critically important for our health post! T H A N K. U !

This is a tough topic. Thank you for the article. The hard conversations need to happen.

And, make sure you write P O I S O N on the bottle with a marker
