Sounds like a fertilizer shortage is coming.

Also, for the ones who don't know what sewage fertilizer is, it's the sludge that remains at the end of the process in water treatment plants. The good bits are human shit that we flush down the toilet. The bad bits are everything else that gets flushed down the drain. And there's a whole lot of bad that's flushed by industrial production, like PFAS. All that ends up in the sewage sludge. Then the sludge gets spread on farmer fields aa fertilizer. Then the extra compounds end up in the leaves of the lettuce in the grocery store.

    Why? They just let farmers use the same fertilizer as before.

    I'm referring to the US-Israel war on Iran creating a fertilizer shortage.

    I doubt the EPA killed those rules because of incoming shortages. This administration hates all the rules that prevent corporations from doing anything they want. It would more surprising if EPA passed any new rules under Trump. Killing them is expected.
