🚨The US Forest Service plans to spray up to 75,000 Acres in the Lake Tahoe area with glyphosate, including campgrounds, trailheads and ski areas. They are doing so to purportedly accelerate wildfire recovery. The reality is that they are killing deciduous trees, native shrubs, flowering plants, and anything that competes with the commercially attractive conifer trees used by the timber industry. Additionally, the suggested benefits of spraying glyphosate for wildfire prevention can be achieved through other, non-chemical methods that don’t kill entire ecosystems. We need your help. Please call all of these offices and tell them why you do not want glyphosate sprayed. Leave a message if they don’t pick up.

There are other ways to manage forest regrowth and fire prevention that do not involve carcinogenic chemicals that will contaminate the entire area and kill ecosystems. This plan to spray is unacceptable.

The exact formula of wildfire suppressants are trade secrets, proprietary to the handful of companies who make them. New research suggests those mixtures have heavy metals in them, contributing ~ 380,000 kg of toxic metals to the enviro between 2009-2021. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Fun fact: I have many ICS certifications [Specializing in bio/chem/nuclear incidents with labs, tests and outbreaks] to be part of the first response team on scene and the management of incidents
Interesting that they're conducting contract tracing. Most likely andes virus variant if human-to-human transmission
