B.C. doesn’t answer whether British Columbians have a right to clean water

Clean Pure Water

The private logging in Wynndel also raises questions around British Columbians’ right to clean drinking water, as potential water scarcity in the future looms.

“There just is nowhere in the law where you can look and say, ‘There it is — there’s my right, I have a right to clean water,” Justice Mark McEwan said in 2019, ruling against the community of Glade in a dispute with timber companies.

Do we need to revisit our environmental practices from forestry to agriculture?

Canada’s Forestry Management

Herbicide Spraying and its impacts:

You may also wish to look at the concepts of what the Spring Forest Spongy Moth Eradication Spray practices from 2024:

Here is my own investigation into the btk spray, I was also not aware of adequate notifications going out to the public, which is something to consider taking notice of as well:

The Moth Math which goes into the ‘proprietary ingredients unlisted’ as well as the consideration of the monetary benefits versus human health components.

Forest fire practices:

Both talks with Nikki Florio and Peter Mac Issac in video links offer strong insights into their spraying forest fire retardants and also for Spongy Moth and their increase in fire volitivity and also toxicity of the region, and how the forestry practice of monoculture is destroying the natural forest fire retardant ecology.

Another point we may want to look into tracking with flightradar24 and planes flying above local forest fires that MAY reduce the chance of forming cumulous nimbus clouds which could put fires out naturally with rain.

Taking a look at our Forest Degradation:

Canada should rethink definition of 'forest degradation,' say 120 scientists

An open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calls for science — not economics — to guide Canada's 'forest degradation' policy.

Big Agriculture practices are also cause for concern according to the research in the Canadian Water Quality Index.

So what gives the environmental depletion compared with quality of life for monetary gains the rights? It is not for our health benefit… at what point do we learn the priority that health, above all else, there is nothing more important.

As industrial agriculture so often pollutes our soil, water, air, and people, this new documentary spotlights a different way to grow food and raise animals.

During the shipping embargo in Cuba during the Russian Missile Crises era in the 1960’s Cuba turned to Biodynamic farming.
