Even as German I get the updates on that horrible #Pesticide in the USA from @biologicaldiversity.org, either in my newsletter, or on their Bluesky account.

Not only Americans will be bothered, by wind, rain, fog and snow the #Atracine may also end up here in Europe and in our drinking water. Most other countries banned that #Pesticide long ago yet.
