FOLKS; ANOTHER WARNING SIGN. THE HEALTH OF OUR ENVIRONMENT, EVEN OUR OWN WELLBEING REST, NOT IN THE HANDS OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT WITH THE GIANT CHEMICAL MAKERS WHO CARE FOR THEIR BOTTOM LINES AND REALLY NOTHING ELSE AT ALL. THEY CALL THE SHOTS AND WITHOUT DUE DILIGENCE, WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME INTO OUR FUTURE. THANKS TO CNO FOR ANOTHER FINE PIECE OF JOURNALISM. 😞
