Here's a posting from British Columbia: Doctors and nurses want British Columbians to think about whether a green lawn and bug-free plants are worth the risk of cancer, birth defects or neurological disorders such as Parkinson¹s or Alzheimer¹s diseases. A campaign, starting next week and led by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, is asking the B.C. government to reconsider its decision not to ban cosmetic pesticides. Advertisements, signed by more than 100 doctors and nurses and supported by the David Suzuki Foundation and Environmental Defence, urge the government ³to enact a provincewide ban on the use and sale of non-essential pesticides.² Judith Lavoie reports.
