The fact that this rubber will dry from sun and players will be breathing plastic particles 🤦🏻‍♂️…

I have a feeling that all these people will regret not wearing respirators for this work.

sorry but for some reason I find this material revolting, not to mention the fresh and cool sensation that running on fresh grass offers you

When it comes to running shoes, cushioning is key, especially for long distances and fast paces. Minimal cushioning means feeling like you are running on bare feet while good cushioning means a comfortable run and protection for your feet and knees. #nikealphafly3 #adidasadizero

The media is fuming after an Australian reporter was shot with a rubber bullet while covering the LA riots. Where was this outrage when unarmed Australians were fired upon in Victoria for justifiably protesting the state's draconian lockdowns?

"I think Cricket Australia have been playing with fire for quite a long period of time when it comes to pitches. I think the (Shield) pitches have been going downhill for probably four or five years now." 🗣️ Will Pucovski on the state of pitches in Australia

The Turf Is Artificial, But The Harm Is Real...Cancer Increases 10X When Recycled Tires Replace Grass. The Billion Dollar Corporate Greed Of Turning Old Tires Into 'Crumb Rubber' Playgrounds Has To Stop. Toxic Lead, Mercury & Arsenic Is Causing Rampant Childhood Cancer... The EU (European Union) banned the use of crumb rubber tire infill in 2023 & the Netherlands have banned it & are currently replacing crumb rubber & artificial turf with natural grass. Synthetic turf & 'Crumb Rubber' Artificial turf is made up of several layers, including plastic grass blades & the infill is recycled ground up tires called “crumb rubber.” "Crumb Rubber" contains 100s of harmful chemicals like lead, mercury & other heavy metals, benzene, arsenic, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), PFAS & phthalates. Crumb rubber is filled with carcinogens, neurotoxins & endocrine disruptors. There are gaps in what we know about synthetic turf because manufacturers are not required by law to reveal all of the chemicals used. Because these toxins don’t naturally break down, they are causal for cancer, liver problems, thyroid issues, birth defects, kidney disease, decreased immunity & other serious health problems. Developed & Marketed By Monsanto First developed in 1964, the first artificial turf was marketed as “Chemgrass” by Monsanto & renamed Astroturf more than 2 years later when it was installed at the Houston Astrodome football field. Big Industry Finds A Way To Dispose Tires For Profit The use of crumb rubber, derived from recycled tires, as infill in artificial turf fields & playgrounds creates a market for the tire recycling industry. Millions of discarded tires, which are processed into 'crumb rubber' granules, previously were a huge cost in the billions, as landfills charged a fee for each & every tire discarded. This created a brand new way to generate trillions of dollars by marketing & selling the toxic 'crumb rubber' to athletic, playground & industry officials. Always profits over people...profits over health...profits over children...profits over future generations. Real grass playing fields are safe for humans, wildlife & the environment. Natural grass has the added benefit of oxygenating the air, captures carbon & absorbs water, which reduces flooding & stormwater runoff. If you can’t avoid 'crumb rubber' playgrounds & artificial turf fields, here are some tips for reducing your exposure to toxic cancer causing chemicals: 1⃣Avoid playing on rubber turf on very hot days. 2⃣Always wear shoes on crumb rubber & synthetic turf. 3⃣Wash hands before eating, drinking, or adjusting mouth guards. 4⃣Avoid using it for passive activities like sitting & lounging. 5⃣Ensure good ventilation of indoor fields by opening doors & windows & using fans. 6⃣Monitor young children to prevent ingestion of rubber. 7⃣Clean any cuts & abrasions with soap & water. 8⃣Brush hair thoroughly after play & shower immediately after returning home. 9⃣Shake out sports equipment & clothes outside or over the garbage. 🔟At home, take off shoes before entering to avoid tracking in crumb rubber & vacuum any infill. 👇Artificial Turf & Rubber Tire Toxicity👇 👇The Hidden Truth Behind Rubber Playgrounds👇 👇92 Toxins Found In Crumb Rubber Mulch👇 Speaker: Kash Khan Video: blue.biohacking

Please before you buy your rice or egg, make sure it is not artificial. It is very difficult to differentiate the original from artificial. It boils, smells and tastes the same. Man's inhumanity to man because of money. Plastic Rice. Rubber egg.
