And I was hoping for a good answer from an admin. I haven't gotten one. But thanks for trying.

There is nothing that will save the plant at this point. They are letting it go

I'm an art and design major, so maybe I'm reading the SDS incorrectly, but this doesn't sound too great.

LC50 between 0.1 and 0.3 mg/L and odorless. Not a good combination.

You people with this shite. The planet will be fine for billions of years. When she’s sick of our shite, she’ll burp and we’ll be gone. Humans won’t be around anywhere close to what the Dinosaurs were. All this save the earth crap is disingenuous. They should be screaming to save our own asses.
