Some good news came out of Manitoba this week. The province has introduce legislation that will ban the use of cosmetic pesticides on the following:
-
lawns;
-
adjoining sidewalks and patios;
-
school grounds, playgrounds and playing fields; and
-
health-care institutions and child-care centre grounds.
Use of pesticides would still be allowed on farms and for forestry purposes. As well, things like gardens, golf courses, or usage on dangerous weeds with no alternatives will be allowed.
