Katherine Levy remembers a childhood deeply rooted in the natural offerings of Lake Tahoe – water-skiing in the summer and working as ski instructor on the surrounding snow-covered mountains during winter months.

She recently moved back to live out her retirement along the lake’s north shore. But she doesn’t like what she has found upon her return: a US government plan to spray multiple types of herbicides, including the cancer-linked glyphosate weed killer – within national forest property that abuts the community’s cherished lake.

    Same thing that happens any time the current occupants of an ecological niche die, new ones move in and replace them, fucking duh. Nothing in this link supports your weird hippie claims, try again.

            Because glyphosate is extremely good at what it does and relatively harmless when used responsibly. Most tools aren’t safe in the hands of an idiot, doesn’t make them any less valuable.
