Green Action Centre signed on to Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Manitoba’s call for banning the use of cosmetic pesticides last fall. As spring approaches, it is time to engage your MLA about this important issue to ensure that strong legislation is passed this year to protect the health of you, your family and the environment.
ACTION ALERT ON COSMETIC PESTICIDES
(A message from Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Manitoba)
Pesticide season approaches and we are still waiting for government action to ban these toxins. Unfortunately, there are signs that the government is wavering on the issue. That’s why the government needs to know that Manitobans support a ban. NOW is the time to contact your MLA with a simple phone call or email to express your support.
Phone numbers and e-mails for your MLA are available at:

Multinational corporations like Monsanto, Syngenta and Cargill have lined up to oppose this legislation in Manitoba.
It’s up to us as citizens to see that our health and environment are protected.
