Customers don't want toxic #pesticides, and neither do #pollinators @HomeDepot @Lowes! It’s reckless to sell products linked to #cancer when safer, #organic alternatives exist. 🐝🦋 #RejectRoundup #SaveTheBees 🐝🦋

In the old days, miners would carry birds with them to warn against poison gas. Hopefully, the birds would die before the miners. Farm workers are society's canaries. Farm workers-and their children-demonstrate the effects of pesticide poisoning before anyone else. - #CesarChavez

Buffalo was not an isolated incident. There has been growing white nationalist violence, and Oregon ranks sixth in the nation for violent extremist attacks. As legislators, we can and must do more to protect our state from domestic terrorism. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2…

A group of scientists has alerted the authorities to the ineffectiveness of protective equipment for agricultural workers against pesticides. For fifteen years. In vain. This is their story. lemonde.fr/le-monde-in-engli…

We are all about avoiding artificial dyes & ingredients!
Using all-natural dyes like fruits, vegetables, & spices keeps artificial ingredients away from your #EasterEggs and gives you the chance to control what goes in your food.
Happy egg-dyeing! 🐣

Start your week off by taking action — urge your Senators to co-sponsor and support passage of the Protect America’s Children from Toxic Pesticides Act (PACTPA). It's time to put people and pollinators over pesticide corporations’ bottom lines. bit.ly/3r1fFCJ
