Pesticides - stop the foolishness To The Editor United Way Kickoff Campaign The United Way Campaign will kickoff next month with a fun-filled afternoon. While local bank managers serve up delicious hamburg- ers, you can cheer on your favourite team in the ‘Tricycle Rac- es’ along Perry Street, where local businesses will compete for the coveted “Tour de Perry” trophy! Guaranteed laughs and smiles — all to generate awareness of the United Way. Come out and enjoy this fun-filled event September 16, 12-2 p.m. in front of the township office. As we walk our dog through the f beauti- ful Port Perry trying to avoid the toxic smell of sprayed lawns, we cannot help but wonder - “what the hell are people think- ing?” These pesticides have been implicated by the Canadian Cancer Society and have a direct link to certain cancers and are especially dangerous to those most vulnerable, our pre- cious children. The Ontario College of Physicians and Sur- geons, thanks the leadership of the Provincial Government for Bill 64 and looks forward to pesticide-free communities. What more proof do you need folks? Do you honestly believe that the weeds you spray and the bugs killed this year will not be back next year, when the purchasing and spraying of these products will NOT be al- lowed? We will all have to figure it out in the very near future, why not start right now’ How about we all go out and buy a weed remover and get the kids off the couch and outside to pull some weeds? They will feel as though they have contributed to their households and communities and will be better humans in the future for having done so. They will learn a new skill and appreciate their environment. We can't just talk to kids about saving the planet; we have to begin to show them how! Children learn what they live! Stop the foolishness and when the weed person comes a calling, tell them you have already taken care of it!
