I encourage other Corvallis Residents to take the pledge

Thank you for all the work you do and for the incredible wealth of information on your website. I have known about NCAP for decades and I with others here in CG are working to get South Lane School District to stop spraying herbicides in the spring. I’m raising holy hell so to speak! We worked on educating the district staff last spring after applications were made and now we are doing our best to make sure it doesn’t happen again this spring!!!!! I have downloaded and printed info on 2,4,D Glyphosate and Dicamba. This will help our argument for safe alternatives. District staff need “suggestions” of safe alternatives. Industrial strength vinegar is on this list of alternatives. Mechanical methods of course are effective but have been explained as “uneconomical and impractical” due to lack of “manpower available”. (This is where I want to gnash my teeth! ( – : ) I am going to look further on your site for ALTERNATIVES.

Aloha!

Here on Maui the Department of Transportation stopped using Roundup two years ago, replacing this herbicide with Avenger. This is an organic herbicide made from orange oil that is approved by the EPA and allowed in Hawaii. We are trying to educate everyone here on this tiny island to stop using Glyphosate and use alternative methods that are safe for the environment and the Aina.

A large group of Landscapers and hotels continue to use this product without reading the 4 hours re-entry violation written on the MSDS, exposing everyone to the chemical. The Park and Recreation Department are heavy users of this product. DLNR are also heavy users. We have documentation that are are spraying around children and in area that contaminate our reefs. The County of Maui has yet to stop using this product knowing that it is dangerous to the public. Education is the key, and we are trying very hard to get the word out and convince them to change the procedures they have been doing for so long. Make them understand how fragile this environment is and we need to start thinking about protecting it at all costs. We have Monsanto doing experimental testing here on Maui, exposing the surrounding homes with multiple spray schedules, stacking toxic chemicals and not thinking twice about the thousands of people here on the islands that are getting sick from the exposure. Education is the key, and we need as much help as we can possible get from everyone here in Hawaii and those who want to see Hawaii as the picture perfect Paradise from around the world. Our government protects large corporations and allows them to use Hawaii for profit. We have to introduce Stewardship into the minds of everyone who lives here. We have to protect and defend this tiny land mass from the constant bombardment of pesticides that are being used by everyone. Our reefs are dying and the soil in contaminated by atrazine, 2,4D, roundup, coal ash, mercury, polado, arsenic and so many others that are imported into Hawaii without any thought about how this will end for Paradise as we once knew it to be. Our native birds are almost extinct, the fish on our reefs are disappearing, the water we drink is contaminated with pesticides.

We are trying to make a difference, but we need a lot of help.

Thank you for listening,

Thanks for all that NCAP is doing to educate and inspire people to transition to safe alternatives! Here is Ojai, CA we have a similar organization, “Transition to Organics”. Our website: www.transition-to-organics.org.

My yard is safe for people and pets!

I’m always pesticide free ;3! Onyl 71 pledges out of 5,000 goal though….. saaaad haha good luck

Please stop the spraying of pesticide in Orange county

Pesticide-free Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary for 18 years…

So excited to be a part of this!

I’m working hard to get our townhouse complex of 89 units pesticide free (the groundskeepers use Roundup), and your site is very helpful in providing resources! Thank you for all the good work you do!

It is so obvious that a toxic-free world is in ALL our best interests, i just marvel that we have to create pledges for this. Thank you for doing this work and raising awareness.

The only thing I want to wash off my garden is bird droppings and the little bit of dirt that splashes when I water.
