I use to live in the Florida Everglades way back in a rural area surrounded by orange groves and sugar cane fields. There is a 2000 mile canal system that goes throughout the state and is part of irrigation and water (mis)management.
Whenever they would spray the groves I would get sick. I didn't give the water to my dogs. I filtered all the water. I would see EPA trucks out there all the time and stories people just don't want to hear. The chemicals used for pest on citrus and sugar cane are extremely harmful. I'm floored they still allow it... BUT all this runs off into the canal system that many use to water crops. I honestly question organic certification in Florida because of this. Not unless they are providing their own safe water source and even that is questionable.

Its really hard to escape it all. All we can do is limit our exposure and find ways to be safe as possible. I didn't put the poly on the greenhouse yet and it needs it badly. I wish I could afford 10 year solexx and not worry about it. But what I'd really like to find is which water filters remove radiation and the like.
