Who?
I think you got it backwards... from a Canadian neo site..

I will tell you what the future is now that Carol Browner is President Obama’s “environmental czar” and Lisa Jackson, formerly of New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection, is heading up the EPA.

The future is an all-out effort to ban or restrict the use of any insecticides that might actually protect PEOPLE against the transmission of West Nile Fever or any other disease organism by a mosquito or other insect species. Then add to their hit list the rodenticides that kill off rats and mice.

Toyota moves to cure pedal fault

Toyota's popular Prius is one of the marques involved in the 3.8m recall
Toyota says it will make changes to accelerator pedals on 3.8 million already recalled vehicles in the US.

It is the latest attempt to remedy a fault with the pedals which has been blamed for at least one fatal accident.

In September, the car giant advised drivers to remove their floor mats after it warned the pedals could become jammed under it.

In the latest move, Toyota will order dealers to shorten the accelerator pedals while it develops a replacement.

Popular vehicles such as the Toyota Camry, the top-selling passenger car in America, and the Toyota Prius, the best-selling gas-electric hybrid, and the luxury Lexus brand are part of the recall.
