67,000,000 birds are killed by pesticides every year, and approximately 70% of all marine mammals are negatively affected by pesticides each year. Exposure to pesticides can cause fertility, reproductive issues, diabetes, obesity, degenerative diseases, cancer, asthma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. Do you want to risk getting any of these diseases? I’m sure the answer is no which is why we should work together to ban the use of pesticides.

 Beyond Pesticides is a Non-Governmental Organization who provides the public with useful information about pesticides and alternatives to their use. With this information, people can and do protect themselves and the environment from potential adverse public health and environmental effects associated with the use of and misuse of pesticides. Beyond Pesticides has historically taken a two-pronged approach to the pesticide problem by identifying the risks of conventional pest management practices and promoting non-chemical and least toxic management alternatives. The organization's primary goal is to affect changes through local action, assisting individuals and community-based organizations.

By sharing this information with family members, friends, and other people, you can help make a change and help others.
