--001636418183cc68040480bf469d Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 *NS Provincial Pesticide Ban - TAKE ACTION NOW to make it happen!* If you haven't yet responded to the consultation on whether to ban lawn pesticides throughout NS, there is just two weeks left to let the government know -- YES, WE WANT A BAN ON SALE AND USE OF UNNECESSARY LAWN PESTICIDES. The government's consultation on whether to ban lawn pesticides *ends March 7*. The Landscape Industry is hard at work spreading misinformation to oppose the ban. You may have seen the article from Landscape Nova Scotia in the Chronicle Herald with the claim that vinegar is twice as toxic as Roundup. We need everyone who supports a ban to respond to the consultation. NUMBERS COUNT! PLEASE, take a minute right now to reply to the consultation with this core message: * * * "I agree that NS should ban the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides. Cosmetic pesticides pose an unnecessary risk to our health and our environment."* * * *Then add a sentence (or more) that reflects why YOU care about this issue. Are you a parent, a grandparent, a health professional, a person with chemical sensitivities or asthma, a cancer survivor, a person who wants a healthier planet - maybe all of the above.* Send your message to Email to Policy@gov.ns.ca Phone: 1-888-320-0555 Fax: (902) 424-0644 or respond on line at https://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/pests/comments.asp The government's position paper is available on line at http://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/pests/discussing.pesticides.asp. Check out the Cancer Society's Pesticide Free video on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU24HbMxwcE . But first, SEND YOUR EMAIL TO THE GOVERNMENT! If you have responded already, thanks. *Please pass this on to anyone you know who wants a healthier environment in Nova Scotia.* --001636418183cc68040480bf469d Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div class=3D"gmail_quote"> <div><strong><font size=3D"3">NS Provincial Pesticide Ban - TAKE ACTION NOW= to make it happen!</font></strong>=20 <div style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 14px"><br></div> <div style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 14px">If you haven't yet responded to the cons= ultation on whether to ban lawn pesticides throughout NS, there is just two= weeks left to let the government know --</div> <div style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 14px"><br></div> <div style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 14px">YES, WE WANT A BAN ON SALE AND USE OF UNNECE= SSARY LAWN PESTICIDES.</div> <div style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 14px"><br></div> <div style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 14px">The government's consultation on whether= to ban lawn pesticides <b>ends March 7</b>.
