Californian #almonds are bad for the world:
- their farming destroys the soil that it uses;
- water shortage leeds to use of deeper, salinated water, which sometimes contains arsenic, a poison...
- used pesticides are killing bees.
And yet, 80% of the world's almonds come from California. Think about it next time you're at the supermarket buying almonds.
