| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the Canadian "Supreme Court's decision regarding the right of municipalities to ban the use of pesticides within their boundaries." Suggests that "there is such a massive variance within the lexicon of pesticides with respect to use, formulation, persistence and toxicity that it is ridiculous to discuss them as a group." Recommends to "make...municipal councillors aware of the fact that there are already two levels of legislation dealing with pesticides and that any concerns of their constituency can, and ought to be, dealt with through existing legislation." Concludes that "[superintendents] use these products, not as poisons, but as plant medicines. It's only one tool in [the] tool box, but it's an important one, and [superintendents] don't want to lose it." |
