Apart from joining our email campaign urging Jean Chretien's Liberals to eliminate synthetic pesticides from use in Canada, help is desperately needed in your very own community. Dozens of grassroots organizations across the country are involved in creating public awareness of the dangers of pesticide exposure. They are also instrumental in urging municipal governments to pass bylaws prohibiting the use of cosmetic pesticides on public and private lands and restricting pesticide use on farms to reduce exposure through spray "drift". Below, you will find a growing list of such organizations. Please contact one near you to get involved locally. If you don't see an organization im your area, email: caps and we will help you find one.
