Now it's backing an EPA rule that would stop the bleeding.</p><p>by Schuyler Mitchell, March 21 2025</p><p>"Last August, 11 industry-friendly red states, led by Nebraska and Iowa, submitted a 436-page petition asking the agency to amend its labeling rules under the Federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Insecticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Insecticide</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rodenticide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rodenticide</span></a>, and Fungicide Act, or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FIFRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FIFRA</span></a>.

Still, the EPA’s decision could have disastrous consequences if Donald Trump’s second administration is as friendly to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChemicalIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChemicalIndustry</span></a> as it was in his first. </p><p>"'It’s telling of the lengths that pesticide manufacturers will go to make sure that nothing interferes with their profit margins,' said Brett Hartl, government affairs director at the Center for Biological Diversity.
