About Us
We are Westchester residents who are concerned about the impact of pesticide usage we see in our everyday life based upon education about their toxicity. We seek to share this information with our neighbors to help them make decisions to benefit themselves and the environment. Our main goal is the dissemination of information to help change minds, and we encourage people to share our website far and wide to raise awareness of the serious harm lawn pesticides cause.
Purpose of this Website
Provide easy access to non-controversial information on pesticides
We focus on primary sources of information, with a significant amount from governmental sources (emphasizing our own)
Develop a pathway to contextualize the information for our personal choices
- Increase awareness of something many of us take for granted--the routine application of chemical pesticides to our lawns.
- Understand where your potential exposure to lawn pesticides could be a problem for yourself, your family, pets, and the environment.
- Review information on how long pesticide residue remains.
- Review information on what is really known about toxicity at these exposure levels.
- See the response of knowledgeable parties with responsibilities for safety.
- Re-evaluate the decision to use lawn pesticides in light of the objectively established harms to humans and the environment.
- Disseminate this information via each individual's networks.
Foster communication among residents with similar concerns
Concerned residents may wish to help us spread knowledge, share our website, or stay in touch for potential educational events.
