So today I was listening in my car to WPR - to the dismay of my children. My dad used to torture us in the same way -I guess it wore off. Anyway, they were talking to one of the guru's in the organic lawn care business about the terrible effects of lawn care products on our children, grandchildren, dogs, and yes even adults. These effects have be known for quite some time, but the lawn care business is a powerful and well-funded lobby. I was so frustrated and fired up after listening, I considered streaking with my hair on fire just so I could talk about the dangers of pesticides etc. on the news. Alas, my friends and family are safe from humiliation - I didn't have the guts, the body or a babysitter. I could go on and on and on and on - but I won't.
There is a new documentary coming out on the dangers of pesticide. It is called "A Chemical Reaction." I am putting a link to the trailer. Take a minute and watch - it is far better than me streaking. And hey, did you know that Canada is outlawing weed killers/pesticides and Home Depot Canada pulled the bags off the shelves as being too dangerous . . . . hmmm
