Global No Pesticides Use Day

India, Bhopal, 1984. Half past twelve on the night of December 3, an unexpected explosion occurs at a chemical plant making a means to kill various harmful insects. So-called pesticides. The escaping gas poisons more than half a million people in one hour. Further, the number of victims only increases due to the resulting poisoning. The Indian disaster in Bhopal has been called the Hiroshima of the chemical industry. Therefore, December 3, the day of remembrance, is the International Day Against Pesticides. Pesticides are poisons that are used to combat various types of parasites. They are also used to regulate the growth of plant organisms, to destroy bacteria and for various other purposes. This is a poison of the highest class of danger. People use it consciously, add it to the soil, spray it by air, developing new varieties every year that are more toxic in properties. When using such substances, pests and, unfortunately, useful samples of the planet die. UN specialists, experts on the effects of chemical poisons, are convinced that pesticides and their many varieties are destroying the Earth and are a slow-motion disaster. For example, pesticides poison pests in the forest, while simultaneously destroying young shoots of useful, medicinal plants. When spraying poison from an airplane, everyone understands perfectly well that the wind carries it not only to the target area. The poison ends up in streams and small rivers, which carry it to the seas. It’s not for nothing that even Antarctic penguins have pesticides in their bodies. Many examples can be given. Pesticides come in different types, groups, and subgroups. They are divided according to the method of application, purpose and impact. There are toxins that are quite persistent and cannot be destroyed in any way. They do not dissolve in water and accumulate well in living organisms. Therefore, it is completely natural for the appearance of mutations in the animal and plant world. The manifestation of various kinds of incurable diseases in people who accidentally inhaled poison while walking in the forest, or ate a poisoned product. The use of these chemical poisons is too high in agriculture. No one can be sure that he ate a pure, unprocessed product. Fortunately, scientists have put forward a concept for developing a new farming - organic. Natural pest control, replacing chemicals with organics.
