A WAR ON WEEDS OR A WAR ON LIFE? - SCOTLAND'S ADDICTION TO GLYPHOSATE

10 months ago

A video about the use of the poisonous glyphosate based Roundup against weeds (theoretically, in reality also against the grass, trees and exposed wildlife) exposing the reality of the harsh attack on the environment perpetrated for years in Scotland and particularly in North Lanarkshire where a motion against the spraying was supposed to stop its use completely.
On May 2020, North Lanarkshire Council voted 12 to 11 against the reintroduction of glyphosate spraying as intended by the head of services. However, traces of spraying and unjustifiable mistreating of the existing vegetation have been observed by residents throughout the last half a year, as also cases of dogs falling sick or even dying with similar symptoms.
The video also raises an alarm on the widespread use of glyphosate in the Scottish agriculture, which has impacted for many years the health of the population, children especially.
