overview
Last fall, the State of California sprayed pesticides over Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties to control the potentially invasive Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM).
In the following weeks, over 600 people reported adverse health effects, ranging from breathing problems to rashes.
Since then, tens of thousands of Californians have called on Governor Schwarzenegger to investigate the health complaints and place a moratorium on future aerial pesticide spraying.
Now the State wants to spray pesticides over our communities again...
