The use of "possibly carcinogenic" weedkillers by council continues.
It gives me no pleasure to say that glyphosate-based herbicides are still being bought and used, despite revelations in recent years of just how harmful glyphosate is, not just to flora as a herbicide, but to our own 'gut flora'!
After the US Corporation, Monsanto, was bought by the German pharmaceutical giant, Bayer, the WHO labelled the substance "possibly carcinogenic". Circa 2019, those who developed cancer(s) as a direct result of working with substances containing glyphosate, won in lawsuits.
Unfortunately, such lawsuits were not elevated in corporate media, or even non-corporate media like the ABC, which appear to have lost their purpose in recent years. #weedsAreJustReallyEfficientPlants #notAllWeedsAreBad
