Pesticide use

I heartily support a total ban on all pesticide/herbicide use, both residential, and commercial and public, for any cosmetic reasons whatsoever, including so-called infestation of weeds.
Perhaps the guidelines should be: if you can’t drink it, you can’t put it on the grass – that way we know with certainty that our children won’t be poisoned by the run-off.
It completely boggles the mind that common sense will not prevail in the issues of environmental contamination.
Really, how will we ever have a healthy place to live if we persist in pouring poisonous substances on the ground that we live on?      EM
