One day Natalie, a mom and nurse who lives in my town, called me, furious, and said that a truck with a tank had just sprayed her street with Rodeo (a glyphosate-based herbicide). She had a picture of the truck spraying that day, so we filed a complaint with the county agricultural commissioner and went to the Orange County Public Works with a binder of studies.

After one meeting and a few calls and emails, the manager agreed to propose alternatives. Since then, after a few meetings, our city has agreed to stop spraying glyphosate-based herbicides in residential neighborhoods. We are told that by 7月 2019 our city will have organic land care. Due to the efforts of many committed parents, my son’s entire school district has also agreed to use alternatives such as safer chemicals, mulch, and weed whacking. This was especially important to me because we noticed that he would have trouble breathing, and had asthma symptoms, after the city workers had sprayed Roundup on the hillsides by his school. It is terrifying to see your child having difficulty breathing. I am so grateful that his school district has discontinued the use of glyphosate herbicides.

3月 8, 2019 – Oakland, California - - The trial of Pilliod v. Monsanto Company (now Bayer) begins with jury selection on Monday, 3月 25, 2019, in Superior Court of California for the County of Alameda before Judge Winifred Smith. Attorneys for the plaintiffs anticipate the trial will last about a month.

Pilliod v. Monsanto is the first case in the California Roundup Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings (JCCP) and the third Roundup cancer case to proceed to trial.

More than 250 Roundup cancer cases are consolidated before Judge Smith as part of the California Roundup JCCP. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit allege exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer caused them to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

More and more we are all hearing about the huge role our genetics play in our health. It is the age-old question of nature vs nurture or another way to phrase it is genetics vs lifestyle.

Disturbing news was released today by US Pirg showing even higher levels of glyphosate in popular wine and beer than the test results  Moms Across America commissioned in 2017. These results clearly show that glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) must be banned. Despite the fact that farmers have known since 2015 that glyphosate herbicides can cause cancer and many other serious health effects, they continue to spray GBH as a drying agent on their grain crops. Because the US EPA says it is safe to do so.   34 countries have banned または restricted glyphosate, but not the USA.

Sign the petition from USPirg to the USDA to test for glyphosate here.

The contamination of beer and wines is another great reason to join in the Friends of the Earth call to action and go to your local Kroger-owned Grocery Store this today or tomorrow ( find out of your local grocery store is owned by Kroger's here) and ask them to stop selling products with toxic pesticides in them! Find out more about the call to action here.

We thank the USPirg team for their excellent work!

Ladies, Mark Ruffalo. Need I say more?

Men, yes, I do. Here’s a little Valentine’s Day tip for you on what makes him so darn sexy.

Mark Ruffalo does not only raise the eyebrows of women around the planet because of his rugged good looks. There is another reason, one that has cropped up in the past few years. One that the media will not describe on CBS Good Morning Show or in the pages of the  “Sexiest Man Alive” articles in Vanity Fair. One that makes casting directors cringe and producers angry.

Activism.

私たちは自然にお互いを助け合うように結ばれています。それはDNAの一部にすぎません。それは私たちの種の中で最も例外的な特徴かもしれません。私たちの集団の歴史は、協力、協力、共感、支援の共有された先祖の記憶によって定義されます。忘れると物事はバラバラになります。しかし、危機のとき、私たちは覚えています-突然、私たち全員が同じ感動的な歌を聞いているように-そして私たちは音楽に合わせて再婚します。突然、私たちは1つです。そして一緒に、私たちは進化します。

I’m a professional organizer. In my professional practice, I help people to simplify so they can focus on the things that matter most: who we love, what we do, how, and why we live… because everything else is just stuff. I help my clients de-clutter and get organized, but all that work is really just a guise for saving the world.

あなたが最もよく使う製品であなたの浴室で始めてください。メイク、シャンプー、ローション、石鹸、歯磨き粉などのようなもの。化学物質や香料を含むものはすべて、切り替えの良い候補です。次に、キッチンとランドリーに移動して、洗剤の在庫を確認します。製品がなくなると着実に移行するか、単に捨ててやり直します。 Amazon、Thrive Market、Honest Companyなどの独立小売業者などのオンラインマーケットプレイスでは、化学物質の全体的な負荷を軽減することがこれまでになく簡単になりました。

金曜日に、ワシントン州のエリザベス・デジレはFacebookに投稿し、コストコの従業員から電話がかかってきたばかりで、コストコはラウンドアップを売却しないと伝えた。彼女は彼に手紙を書き、彼は彼女に電話をかけていました。私は興奮していましたが、興奮を抑えました。最近、偽のニュースがたくさんあります。私は本部に電話し、2日間のメッセージと電話の後、最終的に3人に、コストコがラウンドアップまたはグリホサートベースの除草剤を春の出荷用に注文していないことを確認しました。彼らはアメリカ全土のどの店でもそれを販売しません。これは巨大です！なんてすばらしい！ある従業員は、最初にオーガニックの代替案を検討し、結果に満足していると述べました。推論の一部として、複数の従業員が訴訟Johnson V Monsanto）に言及した。彼らは、それが正しいことだと感じたと言った。

I asked for an official statement and was told that usually, Costco does not issue press releases, etc discussing which items they have discontinued. Despite not hearing back from the Costco PR department, I decided to announce the information anyway. I told them that the 89,000 people who signed a petition to Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's deserved to have an answer. I knew that they would be happy to know that Costco was doing the right thing.

なぜ多くの農民、科学者、規制当局がグリホサートが安全であると主張しているのか疑問に思っていますか？ EPAがグリホサートは発がん性物質ではないことを示す科学があると言っている理由について混乱していますか？我々は持っています！

科学者のチャールズ・ベンブルックが両機関によって分析された研究を精査し、彼らが彼らの決定に至った理由を正確に発見したことを感謝します。推測して...サプライズ！チェリーピッキングは間違いなくプレイ中です！

要約すると： 

EPA cited 109 total assays not included in the IARC report, 87% of which were regulatory studies commissioned by industry, and all but one was negative.

IARC included the results from 67 assays not included in EPA’s analysis, all of which were from peer-reviewed publications, and 82% of which had at least one positive result for genotoxicity.

遺伝学では、遺伝毒性とは細胞内の遺伝情報を損傷し、がんを引き起こす可能性のある突然変異を引き起こす化学物質の特性を表します。遺伝毒性はしばしば変異原性と混同されるが、すべての変異原性は遺伝毒性であるが、すべての遺伝毒性物質が変異原性ではない。
