Stopping the toxic pesticide spraying over Kalamazoo and SW Michigan

The Issue

The residents of Michigan were given very little time, warning and consideration for the use of toxic pesticide chemicals that will be dropped from the sky in an attempt to kill the mosquito born illness EEE. The side effects and ecological consequences far outweigh the risks of the virus. Our pollinators will be devastated and the toxic poison will inevitably leach into our topsoil and water with dire consequences to the fauna in the effected areas.  The opt out option is a farce and cannot possibly prevent contamination with an arial drop as well as not enough warning given to the people to prevent this onslaught.  Use your voice to stand against this literall mass poisoning of the people! We don't have a lot of time to be heard, so please share this far and wide and ask others to do the same!
