Becky Warner recently created a petition on SignOn.org entitled "City of Santa Rosa: Stop the use of Round Up!"
My neighborhood has been asking to stop spray for six years, often chemicals such as toxic Roundup and Atrazine, without posting signs.
Recently,I watched a worker spray Atrazine at Ridgeway pool without posting signs, shortly after kids were playing on the grass. The staff has no clue about the data.
Here is Becky's quote:
"We are asking that the city of Santa Rosa stop the use of the highly controversial herbicide Round Up. Sonoma County is known for its forward thinking and general care for the environment, so promoting the use of this product is a step backwards. Round Up contains 1,4-dioxane, which is carcinogenic and is known to damage the liver, kidney, brain, and lungs. Spraying vinegar or other natural herbicides seems to be a much better and cost-effective solution. I walk my dog and my children play in areas that have been sprayed, and it concerns me that they are in contact with this product. We stand up and ask the City of Santa Rosa to find an alternative, safe herbicide."
You don't have to live in SR to sign, this means a lot to us!
That's why I signed a petition to City of Santa Rosa, which says:
"City of Santa Rosa: Stop the use of Round Up in public places."
