Without a ban on these hazardous chemicals, we risk killing all of nature, yet the EU has reversed their plan to ban 12,000 of these toxic forever chemicals due to industry pressure

Unfortunately, the EU is also dropping the ban on neonicotinoid pesticides and sending thousands of tonnes to low-income countries. Even worse, the UK is allowing the use of these banned chemicals.

We must take action now to protect the planet and our future.
3 million metric tonnes of pesticides are discharged into the environment every year. https://lnkd.in/eCCmwF5G
In 10 to 20 years, most insects (90% or more) on the planet will have been destroyed; this includes pollinators as well as soil biome insects. They are critical for our survival; terrestrial ecology will collapse as well as agriculture. The chemicals used by farmers are going to destroy our food supply. 385 million people fall ill every year from pesticide poisoning; these are mutagenic chemicals whose exposure causes cancer and, in some cases, DNA damage that could be passed down the generations. https://lnkd.in/evh7CpDp
I fail to understand why we continue to allow the use of toxic chemicals. Does the industry not know that it is poor business sense to kill your customers? Have they not heard of ecocide? Is the government so weak that it cannot stand up to industry? There is something very wrong here.
I call on the financial sector to get their act together and start exerting their influence over finance and insurance for polluting industries. The KPMG/MMIT study showed a decline until 2030, followed by a possible societal collapse by 2040.
We already know marine life is going to collapse between 2035 and 2045 due to ocean acidification, pollution, microplastics, and partially combusted carbon combined with toxic forever chemicals, and we know these chemicals become even more dispersed over land in rainfall. Terrestrial ecosystems will collapse at the same time. Every living organism on the planet contains toxic forever chemicals and molecular plastic, and its only going to get worse.,
The evidence is all there; how do we ban these chemicals? If this task cannot be achieved, then I cannot see a way forward for Nature and Humanity.
