Concerns surrounding the use of pesticides have been growing due to their impact on biodiversity, human health, and food safety. Petitions within this topic address various issues, including banning specific pesticides, promoting organic farming practices, and increasing regulations on pesticide usage.
One notable petition calls for the ban of a widely used pesticide linked to bee population decline, highlighting the importance of protecting pollinators for ecosystem health. Another petition advocates for stricter regulations on pesticide residues in food to safeguard consumer health and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.

I'm a nurse, and I would so much rather see some "weeds" than hurt any animals, children, or other citizens of our communities. Please find natural ways to remove problematic plants if you must, but above all else please keep poisons out of our plants, animals, water supply, and lives. I recommend the documentaries "Dark Waters" and "Into The Weeds" that show how chemical treatments hurt humans, not to mention wildlife. Thank you!
Please stop spraying pesticides! I have an outdoor adventure camp for children. We explore the parks, open spaces and bluffs on the coast. Please Stop!! There has to be a better way other than polluting children with toxic pesticides. Thank you!
Glysophate in particular is a known carcinogen. Monsanto and now Bauer have been sued for millions of dollars to people who have been sick. It’s mind boggling that chemicals are sprayed that can injury insects, animals and humans. It’s time to do the right thing and stop spraying of any kind.
