Tomorrow, Tuesday 21 March, HRM Council is voting on the pesticide ban.

If you haven't phoned your councillor yet, please do so. You'll find their
numbers in the blue pages of your phone book. EVERY CALL COUNTS

Councillor Jerry Blumenthal phoned me today and said he would only support
a bylaw that results in a "gradual" phase-in of a ban.

Of course, there is nothing "gradual" about what pesticides do to a child
(or adult) with environmental sensitivities [although, one could argue
they have a gradual effect on healthy people].

I hope people will phone Councillor Blumenthal at 455-9868 (home) to urge
him (politely) to take a stronger stance.

who writes letters and bugs his Councillor. If you want more info on this
issue, please dont call me (!) ... call RATE:
