Demand Transparency and Safety: Stop Spraying Chemicals on Train Tracks Without Proper Warnings

Purpose: Protect public health and the environment by demanding that railway companies provide clear information and adequate warnings about chemicals sprayed along train tracks, particularly in areas where people forage for wild foods like berries.

Background: Railway companies often use herbicides and pesticides to manage vegetation, but there is a lack of transparency about the chemicals used and their potential health risks. This is especially concerning for those consuming wild plants from areas near the tracks. If these demands are not met, a lawsuit will be filed against the railway companies for failing to ensure public safety and environmental protection.

Key Points:

Lack of Transparency: Insufficient public information and warnings about chemical use.
Health Risks: Potentially toxic chemicals that could cause serious health issues.
Environmental Impact: Negative effects on wildlife, soil, and water sources.
Demands:

Immediate Cessation: Halt chemical spraying until safety measures and notification systems are in place.
Disclosure: Publicly share information about chemicals, risks, and spraying schedules.
Public Warnings: Install warnings in areas where foraging is common.
Safe Alternatives: Implement non-chemical vegetation management methods.
Legal Action: Should these demands not be met, a lawsuit will be filed against railway companies for negligence and failure to protect public health and the environment.

Conclusion: Join the movement for greater transparency and safety from railway companies to protect our communities and environment.
