BEMA International. When we POST others read and take action. U.S. Farm Bill, Environmental Protection Agency Violations 20% of Annual Revenue\Profits.

Change the paradigm.

What if ........

• EPA violations were 20% Annual Gross Revenue\Profits of an organization? 
• Ex. Annual revenue\profit $100 billion, annual violation..$20 billion
• cleanup and restitution to communities
• to create job, education and training in the local community for cleanup.
• Are EPA violations built into many organizations budget?

===================

Food and Agriculture System Food and Agriculture system have been hijacked by massive corporations that control industrial food production. But the new food and farm bill that Congress is working on this year is a chance to take back the system.  Our food and farm bill  should protect consumers from corporate monopolies,  keep farm workers safe and  midsize farmers on the land, and  safeguard our food supply from the worst effects of the climate crisis.  Environmental Protection Agency The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the laws it helps carry out, such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, are designed to protect our communities and our environment.  Firmly grounded in scientific evidence, these protections, and others like them, have made the United States a safer, healthier place to live.  However, when corporations push back and prioritize profits over the best available science, people are put at risk.  For instance, ethylene oxide is a colorless gas used in facilities that sterilize medical equipment and some food products, and in the production of certain chemicals.  The EPA’s own research shows that ethylene oxide is extremely dangerous, but thanks to weak standards and insufficient monitoring—largely the result of industry opposition—millions of people may be exposed to this cancer-causing chemical, often without their knowledge.  And new UCS research shows that two types of facilities that emit this cancer-causing gas are disproportionately polluting  communities of color,  low-income communities, and  non-English language speaking communities.  We must work together to ensure the best available science is used to protect our communities from dangerous chemicals such as ethylene oxide. —Katy ============ Black Emergency Managers Association International   Washington, D.C.  20020 bEMA International Cooperation, Collaboration, Communication, Coordination, Community engagement, and  Partnering (C5&P)   A 501 (c) 3 organization “We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice.  Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity.  Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the pressing urgencies of the great cause of freedom…a time like this demands great leaders.”      Martin Luther King, Jr.
