Comments on: Aerial Spraying of Pesticides on the Rise http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=2446 News on pesticide science, policy and activism Thu, 16 May 2013 16:03:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Rose Marie Raccioppi http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=2446#comment-85030 Rose Marie Raccioppi Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:22:07 +0000 http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=2446#comment-85030 This practice continues to defy logic and discernment. With all that is known about the long term ill effects of toxic pesticides, with all the research and studies that document how health and our environment are adversely affected, how or why do we yet allow the powers to be to carry out programs in defiance of health and well being? Let your legislators know that there is another way. Connect them to the information and resources here at Beyond Pesticides. I have learned that our leaders in government have a lot to learn – we cannot allow their ignorance of alternative, sustainable practices to compromise our well being. Be informed – inform – and let us reap a new harvest of awareness.
