YIKES! 😟We must do better by increasing #pesticidfree farming! "Analysing 92 of the most common agricultural #pesticides, scientists have estimated that 710 tonnes of pesticide active ingredients leach into the world’s #oceans each year." @guardian theguardian.com/environment/…
"After adjusting for sex, age, smoking, or region of origin, researchers find the risk of #ParkinsonsDisease is independent of these factors, and the odds of developing PD increase 2-fold from (>30 days/year) household pesticide exposure" beyondpesticides.org/dailyne… @ByondPesticides
"A Precautionary Tale by Philip Ackerman-Leist shares the inspiring story of a group of citizens in Mals, Italy who fought Big Ag and won and, in doing so, became the first place on Earth to ban pesticides by a referendum vote" @chelseagreen #pesticidefree chelseagreen.com/2018/pestic…

PLEASE GIVE IN SOLIDARITY to provide heat & smoke relief for #farmworkers in Idaho! We wouldn't have food on our tables without their hard work in the fields. @IdahoAlliance will be buying water bottles, electrolyte drinks, cooling clothing materials, etc givebutter.com/LBk3uV
It's #PollinatorWeek- we must DO BETTER!! "Neonics are feared by some experts to be capable of an unwanted sequel to 'Silent Spring'.... An Iowa State study reports that a single kernel of neonic-treated corn can kill up to 80k honeybees" #neonics news.yahoo.com/experts-sound…
#NOXIOUSWEED ALERT! #Bindweed is flowering right now- it looks pretty, but these plants can easily choke out native species. If you notice bindweed, hand pull it or use other methods outlined in our guide linked at the top of this page: pesticide.org/resources_for_…
