#and the runoff is mostly compromised of fertilizer and bacteria and pesticides from the agriculture and sediment from the eroded land

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
