As the zooplankton take in Carbon through photosynthesis, they create and release Oxygen.
Estimates are the world’s waterways release slightly over 50 percent the oxygen created to sustain terrestrial life.
So they not only sustain aquatic life as food and generate oxygen in the water, they create over half the oxygen we need, and feed the fish we consume.
So, should we be concerned about poisoning all the water ways, now at rates, “The likes of which humans have never seen”, With trump and GQP eliminating all regs to protect that resource from Corp dumping? I would say, “he’ll fucking yes!!!!”
