Ecuador and Colombia At Odds Over Spraying

The neighboring South American nations of Ecuador and Colombia are not seeing eye to eye on the issue of spraying herbicides over a 10 mile area. Colombia has been spraying glyphosate and has no intentions of stopping. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa canceled a planned trip to Colombia until Colombia decides to stop the spraying.

Colombia is spraying the herbicide, with the backing of the U.S., in order to wipe out Coca fields.

There are questions as to the safety of the herbicide.

  1. this glyphosate is a very bad chemical
    it needs to be stopped
    legalize weed, so ALL cars can then run off hemp seed oil
