we need less toxic pesticides used in this world in growing food. we need atrazine, pfas, 

glyphosate and other toxic chemicals completely eliminated from the growing of fruits and 

vegetables. we cannot continue to allow our water, air/streams/oceans to be full of toxic 

chemicals just because it is easeir for ag profiteers to grow that way. we now carry about 278 

toxic chemicals in our bodies due to this overuse and overexplotation of these toix chemicals 

and it is affecting american health so that people lives 2 years less now and wildlife is dying 

from unclean toxicity in their outdoor lives. we canot allow ag profiteer to poisonj the entire 

gulf of mexico and they are well on their way to do that. every stream is full of toxics these 

days. we want a move to organic farming. this commegn is for the public record. please 

receipt. jeanpublee jeanpublic1@gmail.com
