As I drive around, I see the curbside yellow with Roundup-poisoned grasses.
How completely ridiculous to spend millions of dollars on poison spray!
They employ young folk to spray it, usually unprotected, which is a huge cancer risk. All they are doing is turning green grass into hay. It’s just one flick of a cigarette away from a catastrophic fire! Roundup kills insects, bees and butterflies.
The insanity of the human race is just unbelievable. In Europe, hedgerows are allowed to flourish. They understand that birds and insects need grasses and hedges.
But here, there is dead grass, yellow and poisoned, all along the motorway and country lanes. Thousands of kilometres – how many tons of liquid poison are being used? Do we ever learn? Imagine the money saved if it were spent on something better?
Okay – rant over. If you are in Council, please take note. Let common sense prevail! Thank you. RIP Jane – We are trying.
