January 20th, 2006 - Become aware of the use of pesticides in your neighborhood

My state (WI) offers a Landscape Pesticide Advance Notice Registry. Sign up, and whenever a commercial landscaper (etc.) applies pesticides in your neck of the woods, they will notify you in advance! Check your state’s department of ag to see if you have one, too. (It’s under “landscape registry” here.)

I haven’t decided yet if there’s any benefit to me knowing that pesticides are in my neighborhood…but I guess I’ll see how I feel.

I wish I could be notified when it’s happening at work. One day last summer, the wind was blowing and as I walked back from lunch I got a FACE FULL of pesticides. How disgusting.
