Opting Out of Toxic Pesticide Fogging

Speak Out at Upcoming Board of Supervisors Hearing on Opting Out of Planned Toxic Pesticide Fogging which Effects Bees and You!

A little background: Last year Santa Clara County was sprayed US 19 TIMES up to 3 cities a night with a toxic pesticide known to be hazardous to animals and humans including bees according the MSDS. For pesticide info, please go to: http://files.meetup.com/674008/MSBDZenivex.pdf

I have personally witnessed bees dying and people getting sick (including myself) and the environment being raped with these toxic pesticides. What is so scary is only 4% of the pesticide ingredients are disclosed. The rest of the 96% of the ingredients are “TRADE SECRET”!

Santa Clara County Vector Control could be spraying us with anything! Please check out our website to get involved in our cause at: http://www.healthyalternativestopesticides.com/
