Regarding farming, aside from poor farming methods, another sad reality is that a huge number of farmers bought into the cheap fertilizer sludge on the market. The sludge grows well but contains high levels of PFAS (toxic microplastics). Crops have been full of microplastics for decades. The same is true of fields and streams containing local deer and fish populations. If you hunt and eat those animals, you ingest PFAS as well.

In the USA, State and Federal agencies are starting to research the PFAS problem as well as fallout medical effects. Are ingested PFAS a cause for our high rates of cancer or mental health disorders?

As with everything they’re starting to ask for funding and nobody’s quite sure who’s going to pay for it yet.

A lot of migration patterns are changing, too. Where I live, Carolina wrens are now more common than they were even a decade ago. As climate change takes place, colder climates warm and birds common in warmer areas move in.
