Golf course designed to sink


Messenger letter by Lynn Ford on April 28, 2022


Excerpt:

β€œThe environment suffers from the vast quantities of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, pesticides, and fertilizers golf courses use for 'turf control.'

The Material Safety Data Sheets (M.S.D.S.) state these products as "extreme health hazards with Eco-Acute Toxicity to fish, birds, invertebrates, algae, and bees." How many pounds of this poison does the golf course deliver into Lake Hiawatha, Minnehaha Creek, Mississippi River and, ultimately, the Gulf of Mexico?

This is a question and pollution problem that needs to be addressed.”
