BREAKING: Victory for New York City! City Council voted unanimously to make NYC the nation’s largest city to ban toxic pesticides from routine use by city agenc...ies, and to push its parks to control weeds, insects and vermin with nature-based techniques of organic gardening. Seven years ago, a kindergarten teacher at P.S. 290 in Manhattan was following her students’ curiosity about the origins of food when she led them in a role play on how toxic pesticides harm people, ecosystems and even to the 5-year-olds’ horror turtles like their class pet, Soccer Ball. But Paula Rogovin has a rule for teaching small children: Whenever you expose them to upsetting problems, remind them that they can look for solutions. So they decided on a goal: to ban pesticides in the city’s parks, playgrounds and open spaces. And they came up with a chant: Ban toxic pesticides! Use only nature’s pesticides! Pass. A. Law! Since then, through a sometimes-contentious battle, the maturing students, their younger successors and an expanding circle of grown-up allies have shouted their demand in playground rallies, on the steps of City Hall, and in City Council chambers, where on Thursday their wish came true. The work payed off and the kindergartner activists won. We should all be chanting, "Ban toxic pesticides!" and working to remove dangerous synthetic chemical toxins from regular use in our environments.

VICTORY for NYC residents! Chemical pesticides are now BANNED from our public parks! Thank you City Council for a unanimous vote!
4pm Eastern...Happy Earth Day Eco Tribe! JOIN THE CONVERSATION TODAY at 3pm CST: USDA Organic doesn’t require food to be grown in soil anymore, and organic cheaters are keeping animals in factory farms. Meanwhile, it’s illegal to sell in grocery stores some of the most healthy and regenerative organic foods, like raw milk. And new synthetic genetically engineered foods that aren’t safety-tested or labeled are being touted as a climate solution.... This insanity was happening before government officials, corrupted by their financial ties to the pharmaceutical and tech companies, decided to try to lock us in our homes until we agreed to vaccine passports. But the answer to these problems is the same: It’s time to fight for our right to organic food and natural health! Register here: https://YourFreedomHub.com/NaturalLivingRights
