Here's an easy way to help local biodiversity:

Parks are for parents pushing their babies, for walkers & runners to exercise, for birds & bees to live in.

Please DO NOT apply toxic herbicide in #BrooksideGardens tomorrow morning --

#BrooksideGardens is for people, kids, babies, and wildlife to enjoy. It's past time to put away the toxic herbicides for good! @MikeRileyParks @CaseyAndersonPB

Posted all over #BrooksideGardens today. When will ⁦@MontgomeryParks⁩ stop exposing kids & pollinators to toxic pesticides? If residents have to follow the #HealthyLawnsAct, so should our tax payer funded parks ⁦@MoCoCouncilMD⁩ ⁦@EvanMGlass⁩ ⁦@CmHucker⁩

[SafeGrowMontgomery @SafeGrowMC]

The active ingredient, Prodiamine, has been linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, is neurotoxic, and has possible reproductive effects, and birth & developmental effects. This chemical should not be used in #BrooksideGardens tomorrow! @MontCoExec @Marc_Elrich @hansriemer

The USDA says pollinators are responsible for 1 in every 3 bites of food we eat! So, this year on National Pollinator Week, let’s #SaveOurPollinators and our food! Thanks @repblumenauer for introducing the Saving America’s Pollinators Act #organic #PesticideFree

[Re:wild Your Campus @rewildcampus]

Happy #OceanMonth2021! Pesticides used on land leach into waterways and bioaccumulate in marine life, devastate seaweed and coral habitats, can cause cancer in marine animals, and fuel toxic algae blooms. Let's protect our soils and our seas and stop using synthetic pesticides!
