Make
your school a Pesticide-Free Zone!
Washington Toxics Coalition
Can
you be Pesticide-Free?
How are your school grounds maintained? Research the methods currently used,
and find ecologically-safe ways to replace them. Give students a voice to
call attention to this issue, and reward them and your school for making the
right choices. Washington Toxics Coalition offers great, inexpensive Pesticide-Free
Zone signs for order on their website, and will also send you information
about the effects of pesticides and healthy alternatives. Once your classroom
or grounds are Pesticide-Free, hang the sign proudly and show off your ecological
health!
