Parks are for people to connect with nature, not synthetic pesticides. Good on this little guy!

As a person with extreme chemical sensitivities, I find that I can’t even go into many parks-the smell and taste of herbicides and insecticides is too strong. It affects my nervous system and apparently my pancreas. I suffered my first attack of pancreatitis after a rodenticide application at my job. It sickened me so terribly that i actually had to go on long-term disability. I was previously a healthy, active, 25 year old woman. Don’t use pesticides-they’re truly poison.

This was in part thanks to the info they gratefully received from Beyond Pesticides! Thank you for what you do!

Hello! This is wonderful! Way to go Colorado kids!

I find it a bit disturbing that while I watch this video, an ad for a huge insect control company who uses tons of pesticides was flashing on the screen.
