Green governments are cracking down on chemical fertilizer. The result? Hunger.

The Greens’ New Target

In Sri Lanka people rioted when the country slipped into extreme poverty. Why did it happen? Here’s one big reason: the government banned chemical fertilizer.

Environmental activists say nitrogen fertilizers shouldn’t be used, and Sri Lanka’s president listened. As a result, farms produced much less food, and food prices have risen 80%. Have the “green” activists learned from this? No. They continue to push for a chemical free world.

“It’s out of control” says environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, “completely unnecessary.” In the video below, he explains how this green dogma would lead to mass starvation.

Publicity Kills DEI: A Free Speech Solution to Woke Companies

Published on March 25, 2025

Todayville

For years, major corporations bragged about their wonderful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. They’re good for business and morally correct, they said. So why are they now cutting those programs?

Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice! But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.

Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was “crazy trainings” and “overtly racist hiring practices.” Now lots of people agree with him.

Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.

That’s the power of free speech.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
