I lost my wife to Cancer Oct 2023 because of this plant. She was a very healthy woman. Until we moved to Waverly from Oklahoma. We had moved about 6 miles from Zahn's Corner Middle School in 2007. If we had known that this area was bad. We wouldn't had moved here. Over the years she kept getting sick each year. The local Dr's are in on it as well. I say that because they kept telling her over the years. That she had water build up on her lungs from Pneumonia after taking x-rays. When it was actually lung Cancer all this time. She was out of state visiting family. She got so sick that she had to go to an emergency room while in Oklahoma. Where she had found out that she had lung cancer and that it was so far along. That there was nothing that could be done to treat her. She passed away in Oklahoma. She didn't get to come home.
The Palmdale landfill is so close to my home. You can smell the garbage and it makes you nauseated. I can’t play outside with my kid some days when the smell is so strong. Also, all the different kind of animals it attracts, especially birds. There is so much bird feces in the neighborhood now because of the landfill.
I'm a nurse, and I would so much rather see some "weeds" than hurt any animals, children, or other citizens of our communities. Please find natural ways to remove problematic plants if you must, but above all else please keep poisons out of our plants, animals, water supply, and lives. I recommend the documentaries "Dark Waters" and "Into The Weeds" that show how chemical treatments hurt humans, not to mention wildlife. Thank you!
Please stop spraying pesticides! I have an outdoor adventure camp for children. We explore the parks, open spaces and bluffs on the coast. Please Stop!! There has to be a better way other than polluting children with toxic pesticides. Thank you!
Glysophate in particular is a known carcinogen. Monsanto and now Bauer have been sued for millions of dollars to people who have been sick. It’s mind boggling that chemicals are sprayed that can injury insects, animals and humans. It’s time to do the right thing and stop spraying of any kind.
