Conservation and public health groups filed a formal notice with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin today to force the agency to develop water-quality standards for atrazine, a cancer-linked pesticide that has been found at dangerous levels in thousands of U.S. waterways and in drinking-water supplies. The notice comes ten days after the Trump U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released its finalized review of atrazine, concluding that the potent endocrine disruptor does not pose an extinction risk to any threatened or endangered animals or plants. This contrasts sharply with the EPA’s 2021 finding that widespread atrazine pollution is harming more than 1,000 threatened and endangered species.

Shopping trolleys are a very important property but waterways continue to rely on the goodwill of volunteers.
"Rockhampton environmentalists call for action as supermarket trolleys pollute local waterways. Behind the rust and gunk are the logos of major brands, including Coles, Woolworths and Big W, whose stores are only metres away...We do not find Aldi trolleys or Kmart trolleys in here at all; they are coin-returned trolleys."
"The wildlife, they have to live with this. I have found dead cane toads, that just goes to show how putrid the water is." >>

Children come away with a deeper sense of how water moves, transforms, and remembers — and how every part of the cycle is connected to every other. #STEMThroughStory #Waterways #LittleWitchSeries #Protyus
