I found the Pesticide Action Network while searching online and wanted to share. We farmgirls owe it to our loved ones and ourselves to reduce and remove pesticides from our food and lives. Many, many pesticides are carcinogenic and cancers are on the rise as big Agro giants like Monsanto are dumping a continual stream of toxins on our land, in our air and water. We all need to live as free of toxins and as organically as possible. For my part, I am looking for the most knowledge that I can get to fight a continually toxic world.

Anyway, enough preaching from this farmgirl I hope that some one finds info here that they can use.

Yes, Annika & Sherry! Thanks for posting those links. I'm so very concerned about the bullying going on through Monsanto & the domination of our food source at both the grocery (crops) as well as the seed level. I totally believe in positive change through education & grass roots involvement. Here's another wonderful site/link: http://www.organicconsumers.org/ Power to the Farm Girls!!

Sherry, thank you so much. I truly believe that chemicals and pesticides, not to mention GMO's in our food and in the fibres that we wear and in the feed that the animals are eating is not at all good for us. I'm trying to raise awareness and become educated in all that can to better help others and my own family.

Than you so much for the link, I will go look through the site!
Have a happy weekend!
