I am compiling information to write a paper to a Christian organization I am involved with on why they should NOT be using a specific "lawn care" product to kill weeds in their lawn.

I used to have a paper I wrote up on it but, sadly, it is outdated since I wrote it 5 years ago for college. There have been many more new studies that have shown results even worse than what I had wrote about.

Now that the certain company (The Big "M") is protected by law I am having a hard time finding the cold, hard, facts on their products and why they (the products) are super unhealthy for kids, adults, pets and our food/water.

Does anyone have any links to studies, information or anything on the big M and why a place that has tons of people (especially kids) on the lawns should NOT use these products and what are the alternatives? Thanks in advance, a lot of people just use stuff because they people the government wouldn't allow unhealthy/unsafe things on the market... I need to make sure this place is informed and also let them know alternatives. Thanks again!

You might find some info here http://www.panna.org/issues/frontline-communities/schools-playgrounds
There's also a link to the Pesticide Info Database.

Good luck on your paper, very important information.

Try March Against Monsanto. There are many links that they post on their FaceBook page. Some of the stories are shocking! I hope you find what you are looking for.
