Why is this important?  What are some Alternatives?

You want your outdoor living space to be as safe as your indoor living space.  Organics are a 100% safe and a natural treatment, helping to sustain your plant life and encouraging your plants and trees to grow healthier, without harmful chemicals.

"Eventually you and I will be drinking what we put on our lawns, plants and trees" said Paul Johnson, Owner.

Our professional staff use root injection equipment putting the food where the roots are, and we have special spray guns for treating trees up to 40 feet high.

We have found that when we treat a  home in this manner, that neighbors frequently also sign up because in our experience the results of Organic treatments achieve rapid results.  And the benefits for our children and grandchildren (and our pets) are well known.

Lawn Pesticides, A Real and Present Danger

"Each year, American homeowners us approximately 70 Million pounds of pesticides to maintain their lawns, mostly for aesthetic purposes.  Yet as the use of these chemicals continues to grow, reseachers continue to uncover the links between pesticide exposures and serious human health problems, including several types of concer, neurological and reproductive disorders and birth defects"

"Regulations concerning the marketing and use of these potentially harmful products do little to protect consumers.  Every pesticide on the market carries and EPA registration number, but this only means that the active ingredients are listed and instructions for its use are given, including warnings of acute health effects.  Warnings about potential long-term or chronic health effects from the active ingredients are not required." (The above two paragraphs are copy written by Grassroots Environmental Education )

Eliot Spitzer, New York State Attorney General adds, "Pesticides pose health risks, even when used and applied in full compliance with manufacturers recommendations and legal requirements".

The Grassroots Environmental Education adds: "Children are especially vulnerable to environmental toxins, including pesticides.  Their normal activities include playing on floors and on grass where pesticides accumulate, and they routinely put unwashed hands or other objects in their mouths."
