Me when doing my environmental science homework, at every available opportunity:
#wish there were a class discord or a chill teacher so i could share it
#fr though I'm like “oh we're talking about freshwater? hey did you know that agricultural runoff is causing accelerated eutrophication?”
#and that a lot of the runoff is bc of erosion caused by the destruction of ecosystems and their vegetation that would've kept soil in place
#and the runoff is mostly compromised of fertilizer and bacteria and pesticides from the agriculture and sediment from the eroded land
#and that crop irrigation is so inefficient that literally 40% of irrigation water never reaches the crops
#and don't even get me started on the FUCKING CORN SUBSIDIES
#god those fucking corn subsidies
#“hey boudicca what's the worst policy choice the us government made in the 1930s–40s?”
#“was it American isolationism? maybe increased militarization? the garbage treatment of women and minorities?”
#wrong! it was not stopping those fucking corn subsidies
#(this is a joke obviously those other things were worse)
#(I'm not actually saying this silly little agricultural practice was worse than Japanese internment don't worry)
#but i AM saying that at some point they should've fucking phased out those goddamn corn subsidies
#do you wanna know why California grows so much corn even though it's an incredibly water intensive crop and California is dry as shit?
#I'll give you three guesses
#anyway sorry for rambling my point is fuck industrial agriculture
