Herbicides on the city of Boulder's lawns and playing fields? A city of Boulder committee recommended it, but the city has said no—at least for this year. City manager Jane Brautigan adds that the city's IPM (integrated pest management) policy is "out of date." We couldn't agree more! More information. Coverage in the Daily Camera. |
Kids Speaking Out Thanks to all the children who spoke so persuasively at the city council meeting on May 18. Nice job, all of you! Beyond Pesticides has a post up on its blog about the local kids who protested herbicide applications in Boulder parks. "Boulder kids rally against herbicide use in parks." Read about it in the Daily Camera! And check out photos of the event on MyTown Colorado. |
