Aerial spraying of chemicals to eradicate the light brown apple moth (LBAM) has begun in Santa Cruz/Monterey counties and is planned here in early 2008. No testing has been done on the safety of these products and their aerial application on people or the environment. No documentation exists on the damage of the LBAM in the field. Many people have become sickened after aerial applications in Santa Cruz/Monterey counties. Looking for people who would be willing to deliver legislative packets to their lawmakers before the end of the year.
This is urgent.

Please go to http://www.stopthespray.org for information on the LBAM and organizing efforts of citizens concerned with the health and safety of California Department of Farming and Agriculture policy decisions which will effect on people and the environment.
