= 16 Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, April 16, 1996 Green Team has big plans for Earth Day 96 April 22nd, Earth Day is fast approaching, and local members of Scugog's Green Team will once again be taking part in a national "Pesticide;free Week" being coordinated by Citizens for Alternatives to Pesticides (CAP), a Montreal-area group which works to raise awareness about the hazards of and the alternatives to cosmetic pesticide use. Last year, more than 30 groups across Canada worked to spread the word about the dangers of using, chemical pesticides on lawns and parklands during the first Pesticide- free Week. This year, the theme of the week is "Building a pesticide-free community". The message is three-pronged. "1. To neighbours, we say: Pesticides are poisons. Stop using them and adopt non- toxic alternatives instead; 2. To Jocal politicians, we «» say; Please pass a pesticide by-law similar to the ones enacted in the past few years in e than 15 Montredl-area communities; 3. To federal politicians, 1] ng 91 KIN Snooze You Loose! Units Go Up Moy Ist From $1,300. Now Ml Pay $1,625 Later we say: Please act federally to ban the cosmetic use of pesticides until they are scientifically proven to be safe for humans, pets, wildlife , and the, environment. Two local events will tie in with the national Pesticide- free Week being observed from April 21 - 27. On April 22nd, the Green Team is inviting local Council members to.an Earth Day breakfast to introduce plans for an April 29th request for a local pesticide by-law. * As well, many volunteers will once Againg be delivering "Bear Neighbour" letters asking local Fogigenss to consider stopping the use of chemical lawn sprays. These letters will provide aterial on both the hazards of and suggested Nes to chemical care methods. The attendance of more 0 people at the Green Team talk pn "Your Lawn: Alternatives to the Chemical Fix" amply demonstrated that many people have become aware of the down side to the chemical approach to "the perfect lawn". * Letters will be delivered door-to-dgor in many of the T ow ship's neighbourhoods, Copies of the letter will 'also be available at pope Memoria] Librfiry and at the Earth Dance store (263 Queen St.) in'Port Perry.
