Hawaii Fights EPA

Huffpost reprots that in the early months of the Trump Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency reversed an Obama-era proposal to ban the widely used insecticide chlorpyrifos, which has been linked by ample research to inhibited brain development in children. However, on Wednesday, the state of Hawaii pushed back. Governor of Hawaii, David Ige, signed Senate Bill 3095 bill into law, banning chlorpyrifos, which is produced by chemical giant DowDuPont, starting on January 1, 2023.
