Pesticides Campaign

Pesticides = Poison

Consider the following:

• Medical studies show many pesticides cause cancer, asthma, birth defects, and developmental disabilities.
• Pesticide use has been linked to bee die-offs, salmon run extinction, frog reproductive issues, and many more examples of environmental destruction.
• The EPA and other government bodies responsible for regulating pesticide use acknowledge pesticides are damaging to humans and the environment, yet they still allow these pesticides to be used.
• Pesticides are everywhere. They drift beyond the site they were intended for into surrounding areas and beyond. They're found in our streams, our land, and in our bodies.

What Oregon Toxics Alliance is doing

Oregon Toxics Alliance is working to educate public officials and the public at large to the dangers of pesticides.  We’re searching for natural and safe alternatives.  We're working to reduce pesticide use and drift in public spaces such as schools, government buildings and public roadways. We're working to protect the health of ourselves, our children, and the planet we live on.
