The clover in the lawn isn't a w**d. It was deliberately included in lawn seed mixes until the 1950s, when broadleaf herbicides were introduced and couldn't distinguish clover from dandelions.

White clover (Trifolium repens) was a standard component of American lawn seed until the mid-twentieth century. It was valued because it fixes nitrogen — pulling nitrogen from the atmosphere through a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria and converting it into a form plant roots can use. A lawn with clover stays green without synthetic fertilizer.

The herbicide industry reclassified it as a w**d. 🌿

When 2,4-D (the first selective broadleaf herbicide) became commercially available in the late 1940s, it killed clover along with dandelions, plantain, and other broadleaf plants. Rather than developing a product that spared clover, the industry redefined clover as undesirable. Marketing campaigns promoted the "pure grass lawn" as the standard.

Before 2,4-D, a lawn with clover was a healthy lawn. After 2,4-D, a lawn with clover was a neglected lawn. The biology didn't change. The marketing did.

🐾 What clover actually does:

- Fixes nitrogen — reduces or eliminates the need for synthetic fertilizer
- Stays green during drought — deeper roots and better moisture retention than most turf grasses
- Feeds pollinators — white clover is one of the most visited plants by native bees
- Outcompetes many broadleaf w**ds on its own — reducing the need for herbicide
- Tolerates foot traffic and mowing

The "w**d" in the lawn is a nitrogen-fixing, drought-resistant pollinator plant that was standard in American lawns for decades — until the herbicide that killed it needed a market.

Another GMO corn approved. Engineered to produce its own pesticides and tolerate heavy herbicide spraying — and it still ends up in everyday food.

We can do better than this.

Support farmers who grow clean. Stop normalizing poison in our soil, our animals, and our plates. 🌽🚫 🌱

Got Corn Allergies? The USDA has just deregulated yet another toxic GMO corn - Bayer-Monsanto's MON 95275 - that produces two insecticidal proteins and a double-stranded RNA transcript from an inverted repeat sequence designed to match the western corn rootworm. The corn is registered with the EPA as a pesticide because that's exactly what it is: a pesticide. The insecticides are in the corn and can't be washed off. To make matters worse, it's genetically engineered to tolerate spraying with multiple toxic herbicides, potentially up to five. These endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic herbicides are absorbed into the corn and also can't be washed off.

This corn will be used for ethanol, conventional animal feed, and put into conventional processed foods that use corn, like Coca-Cola and Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

Products made with toxic GMO corn belong in the pesticide aisle, not on grocery stores' food shelves. If you have allergies to conventional corn products, now you know why.
