‘Forever chemical’ bans face hard truth: Many can’t be replaced

Sadly, it goes both ways: This woman devoted her life to try and bring peace to this land, but it didn't help her on Oct-7th
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/11/13/canada-peace-activist-vivian-silver-dead-hamas/
Silver, well known in Israel for her peace activism, was among at least 80 people killed during Hamas militants’ attack on the Beeri Kibbutz
Silver moved from Winnipeg to Israel in 1974 and was a longtime member of Women Wage Peace and other organizations campaigning for peace in the region.
She was dedicated to denouncing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians; she had fought against the blockade of Gaza, in place since 2007, and would pick up Gazan children at the border to drive them to Israeli hospitals.
