Earth Day Action—Thank you for Organic Land Management

To skip below to the Action form, please click here or on the "Action links" (>>) included below!

If your community is one of a growing number across the country that has taken action to protect its citizens and environment by adopting organic policies and practices in its public spaces, 📣 please take this opportunity to thank your community leaders. However, be aware that the pesticide industry is seeking to take those policies away from you.

Message: Thank you so much for implementing pesticide-free, organic policies and practices in our parks and public places! I love to spend time in our parks, knowing that I will not be exposed to toxic chemicals. It is great to know that toxic chemicals will not run off from our public spaces into streams and other water. It is wonderful to know that flowers in our parks can provide nectar to pollinators who face so many threats these days. Thank you. 

>> Tell your mayor thank you for implementing pesticide-free, organic policies and practices in our parks and public spaces. 

The targets for this Action are U.S. mayors, as available in the system. If your mayor is not listed, please send their office an email! One tool is the USA.gov "Find and contact elected officials" page, which also lists other options for finding local elected officials in your community.

Thank you for your active participation! The Action is a multi-step process, so please click submit below to proceed to step two, where you will be able to personalize comments before final submission. The comment maximum limit is 4,000 characters, so please feel free to personalize your message!

Why we TAKE ACTION:

During these times, Beyond Pesticides urges sending a message even to those who refuse to listen. As we strive to adopt the changes essential for a livable future, we must create a record that is based on science, even when the science and the facts are dismissed by those in power. To this end, the failure of action to address the existential health, biodiversity, and climate crises by those in Congress and the administration empower lower levels of government and some corporations to step into the void left by those whose actions or inaction threaten life. Please feel free to reach out to the Beyond Pesticides team with feedback.
