Toxic “forever chemicals” found in fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Toxic “forever chemicals” seem to be everywhere these days, from drinking water sources to breast milk. Now, it appears that the chemicals, also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have also found their way into fertilizers, according to a report published last month. The report was written by researchers from the Ecology Center and the Sierra […]

Scientists find toxic “forever chemicals” in home fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Many home gardeners buy compost or fertilizers to improve the quality of their soil. Unfortunately, some home fertilizers made from biosolids – nutrient-rich, organic materials derived from sewage sludge – contain alarmingly high levels of “forever chemicals,” or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Those are the findings of a recent report by scientists with Ecology Center, a nonprofit environmental advocacy […]

“Non-GMO” foods being grown in HUMAN SEWAGE SLUDGE and sprayed with glyphosate and pesticides
As the Food Babe has correctly pointed out, foods labeled “Non-GMO” are still grown in human sewage sludge and sprayed with glyphosate and pesticides.

Scientists warn that microplastics are harming earthworms, plant health and soil pH
Researchers from the Anglia Ruskin University found that microplastic can curb the growth of earthworms, potentially affecting plant and soil health. Earthworms play an important role in the soil ecosystem as they dramatically alter soil structure, nutrient dynamics, water movement and plant growth. But the presence of microplastics is harming earthworms, according to the findings published in the journal Environmental Science & […]

“Composting” dead humans creates bio-goo that gets flushed down sewage pipes, turned into biosludge, then deposited on crops
Washington state is on the verge of legalizing the “composting” of human remains, which advocates say will create a new source of “organic fertilizer” for food crops. But this so-called “organic fertilizer” is actually a toxic and just plain disgusting bio-goo that will easily make its way into sewage systems, only to be “recycled” and […]

Biosolids BIOTERRORISM? Learn how toxic sewage sludge threatens national security
A lot of people don’t realize this, but all of the nasty byproducts – think pharmaceutical residues and chemical toxins – that get flushed down people’s toilets doesn’t necessarily get fully filtered out at the wastewater treatment plant. As a result, toilet waste in general has the potential to be weaponized by bio-terrorists who, believe […]
