The desire for the perfect lawn is leading millions of homeowners to expose their children, pets and water supplies to toxic lawn care pesticides.

Children are at Risk: Research links the pesticides used by TruGreen ChemLawn to nausea, vomiting, dizziness and headaches and chronic illnesses such as lymphoma, leukemia, bladder cancer, and learning disabilities. Children are especially vulnerable to toxic pesticides.
Workers are Exposed: Pesticide applicators and the workers who launder their uniforms suffer the negative health effects of daily exposure to toxic pesticides.
Pets are Vulnerable: Your pet has an increased risk of cancer when exposed to lawn pesticides.
Our Environment is Being Poisoned: Pesticides can contaminate drinking water and can harm or kill birds, fish, and other beneficial wildlife.
TruGreen ChemLawn is the number one lawn care provider in the United States, servicing more than 3.5 million households. While any pesticide legally used in this country must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this registration does not ensure safety. The registration process is full of loopholes and does not guarantee that the pesticides have been fully tested for environmental and human health effects. In fact, an analysis of the products TruGreen ChemLawn offers on their customer receipt shows that:

17 of 32 (53%) of TruGreen ChemLawn's pesticide products include ingredients that are likely carcinogens, as defined by the EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
All 32 of TruGreen ChemLawn's pesticide products include ingredients that pose threats to the environment, including: threats to water supplies, aquatic organisms, and non-targeted insects.
13 of 32 (41%) of TruGreen ChemLawn's pesticide products include ingredients that are banned or restricted in other countries.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Cancer

Hold it! You need to approach things in a calm, controlled manner today otherwise you're likely to get yourself into a state in no time at all. That's especially likely if you're trying to meet a deadline because you'll start to panic and then become all fingers and thumbs. You might also get extremely ratty with anyone who gets in your way or asks stupid questions. Come on, is that fair?
