Glyphosate is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic
herbicide.
“We are increasingly seeing more and more samples
of surface water coming up with residues [of glyphosate], and this is affecting frogs that live there,” Patty Lovera, assistant director of Food & Water Watch, an advocacy group, told IPS. “Potatoes and carrots are also picking it up in the soil – there are multiple routes of exposure.”
‪#‎Glyphosate‬ has previously been shown to be
an “endocrine disruptor”, which the National Institutes of Health has shown to
have long-term effects on reproductive health. They can be very dangerous at low
levels, thus restricting the amount allowed will not be effective.

    I love birds; I love water; I love
    art. 
    I feel privileged to have found a way to combine
    these three elements 
    and create images of the birds I so enjoy.
