Advocacy
|
With the widely known toxic nature of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, it is necessary to encourage community members to implement organic land care practices within their own lives. The harmful impacts of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers can affect landowners, children, and household pets through water runoff, contaminated produce, and direct interaction with contaminated vegetation. This project aims to provide education about the harmful nature of pesticides and other synthetic fertilizers to the public, and gain support for the initiative to restrict pesticide use on all town land. By following the lead of other communities such as Marblehead and Manchester, which have introduced local legislation to restrict certain pesticides, local community members in Essex County can take steps towards implementing town wide initiatives banning pesticide use on public land.
