Attention #boaters! Marine flares contain hazardous chemicals that pose risks to human & environmental health 🧨

If you have unneeded/expired flares, you can drop them off for safe disposal at the collection events listed below in Alameda, Marin, Contra Costa, Del Norte & Humboldt counties https://www.calpsc.org/cpsc-marine-flare-projects #boating #hazardouswaste #marineflares #flares #boats

> ... These activities come with other #EnvironmentalCosts as well, because the operation of #MilitaryEquipment requires the use of many kinds of toxic chemicals like thinners, solvents, pesticides, and so on. As a result, the #DepartmenOfDefense “generates 500,000 tons of toxic waste annually, more than the top five US chemical companies combined, and it is estimated that the armed forces of the major world powers produce the greatest amount of #HazardousWaste in the world.”

#OhioEPA is taking #ToxicTrainDerailment waste to #EastLiverpool https://virallysuppressed.com/2015/06/07/the-hazardous-wasteland-east-liverpool-ohio-the-environmental-disaster-that-time-forgot/ There is a river you do not swim in There are crops that grow in East Liverpool, but you do not eat them. There are brisk winds that blow through East Liverpool in the summertime, but you do not open your windows to let them in. You do not do these things because the world’s largest permitted #HazardousWaste facility in their backyard, East Liverpool is a place of sickness…a place of cancer…a place of death.

We have to make computer chips somewhere, but we've known for decades that 'somewhere' should not be in/next to residential areas

So it's already bad enough, but then I see what a mass scale #Apple is operating at in that plant

Including flushing 44,000 gallons of waste water a *day* while also failing repeatedly to test if the contamination is in acceptable limits

Also hauling out 750 tons of #hazardouswaste in one year

After resisting DT for more than 7 years, I've hit a brick wall and have run out of words. I was at a standstill.

Now I realize that for much of this time we have borne witness to the dismantling of much of what makes America work. Today *45 is in Ohio at the site of the toxic train derailment. He has more than a passing curiosity because it was his administration that allowed rail regulations to run out at the urging of the railroad industry. In effect he is returning to see the results of his handiwork firsthand.

More than 7 years I've lived inside his psychosis, actually the whole nation has, and it is exhausting.

I wonder how much he’s received in donations from the relevant industries? 🤔

“In the wake of a disastrous rail accident in Ohio, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says he doesn’t have the power to compel the rail industry to upgrade its safety equipment and procedures. But he does.”

This is really bad, both the spill and the lack of media attention: “A train derailment last week in Ohio has turned into a full-fledged ecological disaster, and it’s received surprisingly little national media coverage.”

Important read from @CalMatters: nearly half of California's toxic waste is shipped out of CA, often to states with weaker rules, in some cases to areas near Native American Reservations. This isn't right and needs to change! https://calmatters.org/environment/2023/01/california-toxic-waste-dumped-arizona-utah/ #toxicsite #hazardouswaste #environmentaljustice

#introduction

In a previous life, I was an Environmental Engineer #environment with my PE License in the State of Maryland.

I transitioned to being a Software Engineer, with a focus on #ui

Currently employed by an IT and Security company, but building out Hazardous Waste Management and Tracking software in my free time #hazardouswaste

Created a Mastodon server to consolidate like-minded individuals in the Tech and Environment spaces.

A looming, mainly #WEEE #hazardouswaste crisis is coming to the #AsiaPacific region. And as w/most #toxic #pollution #lowincome #communities such as those across #ASEAN will likely be disproportionately impacted. #Singapore-based NEU's #NUS-developed electrochemical technology that #recycles #Li @ a 95% recovery rate, and up to 100X less #polluting than heat or acid methods. The NUS method is exclusive to LFP EV batteries. #SDG12 #ASEANsustainable #goodAQIsaveslives

A 2019 #JICA report looking at the status of #LaoPDR #wastemanagement found 1. a rudimentary legal platform that reg. waste as either 'general' or #hazardous, 2. that even as a #Basel signatory, laws addressing #hazardouswaste mvmnt lack financial and operational resources for effctv. implementation. Further challenges lie ahead esp. w/a population-based rate of urbanisation incr. by 35% and accel. econ. investm. from regional counterparts #China, #Jpn, and #Thailand.
