M8.5 Blog about an ideal chemical policy

An ideal chemical policy I would implement would be to protect ourselves from doing any further harm to our bodies. If it is inevitable that we  must handle these poisons and toxins, we must be educated to do so. For example, in India where pesticides and toxic chemicals are heavily relied on to have a "good business," they should be educated on the risks and associations of handling such chemicals. A chemical policy should be if chemicals are actively and knowingly being sold and distributed, there should be advocates /representatives ready to educate the population and provide resources and materials on how to protect yourself. I doubt the workers in India are aware of the defects they are causing for unborn children and to themselves, let alone know how it can affect them in the long-term.

We need to take a look on how successful Europe's policy has been on creating a uniformed protection for many chemicals that are still actively used today in the US.

My chemical policy would focus on protecting the users and environments by banning such chemicals from distribution and subjecting farmers / crop owners to random testing once a month to ensure they are not using strong poisonous pesticides on their crops.
