Ending Toxic Dependency
New report on state IPM policies : Ending Toxic Dependency: The State of IPM, a July 25 report by Beyond Pesticides, assesses state-level policies on Integrated Pest Management and finds an alarming dearth of meaningful state program nationwide. It highlights ten states with policies while noting "only four states call for pesticide reduction and alternatives that do not rely on toxic chemicals in their IPM law." Co-author and Beyond Pesticides executive director Jay Feldman said that, "The toxic and petroleum-based pesticides are not needed and it's wrong for states to do nothing or fall short of their responsibility to health and the environment."
