I can avoid the next crash. I look beyond the problems to see the challenges or benefits or a door that I can open. I have to be a little bit creative in problem solving. There are alternatives for everything. You don t have to do things in the same way that you ve always done them. For example, people say, I have to use pesticides, I live in Louisiana and we have flying roaches Well, I lived in Louisiana for twelve years before we moved, and I have not used pesticides since 1985, and I don t have pests in my house.

Trans Coastal Marine Services (formerly Envirosystems, Inc.) and Louisiana State University (LSU) have developed several bioreactor systems to facihtate petroleum hydrocarbon mineralization and the bioremediation of organic wood preservatives utilizing an immobilized microbe bioreactor (IMBR) technology. These technologies can treat petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, pesticide-contaminated soils, and contaminated groundwater.

US scientists tested water samples taken from the Mississippi Embayment (Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Teimessee), a major area for cotton production in the United States L Dicrotophos (WHO Ib), an organophosphate used extensively in the cotton growing areas was the most frequently detected (35% of samples) . Methyl parathion (WHO la), the most used insecticide in the cotton growing areas was the second most frequent contaminant (18%). The researchers also found traces of profenofos (12%), malathion (12%), cyanazine (46%), fluometuron (57%), and norflurazon (49%) - all pesticides applied to cotton growing in the region . ... 

Misuse of pesticides can occur. Methyl parathion (11.11) is an insecticide that is permitted for use on crops outdoors, but is banned from indoor use. It was used for control of cockroaches in 2700 houses in Mississippi and surrounding states in 1996. About 330 families had to be evacuated from their homes. Decontamination is expected to cost 50 million dollars.41 Ironically, some people in Louisiana deliberately sprayed their homes with methyl parathion to obtain free repairs. As mentioned in Chap. 1, pesticide residues on foods are monitored and are not normally a problem. However, there have been some instances of pesticides used illegally on food crops.42 This tends to happen more often on foods imported into the United States and Canada from developing nations.43...
