And the research hasn’t proven that reefs actually get cancer.
Ban the ban!
Points awarded to headline writer for “block”.
“because protecting people is more important”
What a thought!
Why would anyone apply sunscreen on coral reefs? Let them use beach umbrellas instead. Besides, maybe they want to get tan...
Better to make it a fine for the lifeguards to give out when they see one slathered and in the water if they want to protect the reefs.
Typical leftist rules. Like the Green New Deal, it ruins society thoughtlessly. The GND wipes out jobs worse than Hillary's war on Coal, it would bring back travel by horses (and the poo from them on the streets) and all who depend on energy (especially air conditioning in Florida) would suffer immensely.
I predict more of these leftist bans until we vote the B*stards out again and again until they can't get elected as a Dog Catcher. I expect the craziness to accelerate on the Left toward this November and pray all Americans will wake up before we let folks like these into power once again.
While Key West is banning sunscreen ingredients, does Miami still pump raw sewage into the ocean where it travels south covering and killing coral reefs in the Keys?
FL ping.
Either you get cancer or the reef does.
I hate to break the news to Democrats in Florida, but you’d need an oceanliner size tanker’s worth of sunscreen to be dropped directly on top of a reef, in one place, just to have a measurable amount stick around long enough to possibly do any harm. To put it another way, there is a LOT of water in the ocean, and it doesn’t stand still.
But this is a good illustration of Democrat priorities. They’re will to expose THEIR OWN PEOPLE to skin cancer to score some political points with environmentalists (think Fascists), as I understand beach-going to be a bipartisan activity. One can only imagine* what they have in store for us Deplorables, if they can isolate us first.
*and to get an idea for that, read up on what China does to their version of ‘Deplorables’, Fulan Gong and others - it’s called organ harvesting.
the govt. way in south Fla. is to ban stuff rather than enforce laws and rules with people actually having to leave air conditioned cars or offices to go out amidst the public where the rules and laws are being flaunted 24/7.
It’s stoopid to ban suntan oil or cream but smart to ban touching coral when you have it on your hands.Since local govt. is lazy they generally do the stoopid thing.
