We don't live in a vacuum, folks, and glyphosate is not used in small amounts or independent from other chemicals and procedures.

There are many, many things that have extremely low toxicity but are nonetheless, detrimental to the health of people and the planet.

And that extends to introducing some very detrimental plant species that can decimate native fauna and flora.

so it’s a double edged sword. I don’t think introducing invasive species and leaving them alone is the best option either. Mechanical management alone isn’t often enough or possible when has its own impact on the land through disturbance.

I don’t know about you guys but seeing forest areas completely taken over by things like Kudzu or honeysuckle gives me anxiety.
