On July 3, 2019 Scott Mac Laggan took the following pictures at Ocean Beach Dog Beach, San Diego, CA. Why would the City of San Diego allow Round Up dabbers to be used prior to July 4, when the park was going to be packed with tourists, dogs and our families? Diversified Landscape has been approved to use herbicide to eradicate invasive weeds such as the European sea lavender.

Scott asked the parks department, "Why is a confirmed carcinogen herbicide allowed to pool in an open wheelbarrow in a public park, leaving a trail along the path where people, dogs and other creatures travel?
Shouldn't there be better control of and care taken with the use of this? Should it be used in a public park at all? There was recently a $2 billion jury award in a Monsanto Roundup cancer lawsuit trial."

Please write to our elected officials. Thank you!

We are asking you to adapt an organic Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
We are asking you to require the contractor(s) at parks to abide by the law as provided by the federal government and not permit the public in the areas that are being treated/sprayed.
We are asking you require that contractor(s) at city parks provide an “Intent of Use” sign to be posted 3 days prior to spraying in parks to provide the community the choice of avoiding the area, or not.
Thank you,
