The Pesticide Collaboration is a UK-based coalition that unites health and environmental organizations, academics, trade unions, farming networks, and consumer groups. Their mission is to significantly reduce pesticide-related harm in the UK, aiming for a healthier future. The group engages in advocacy, research, and campaigns to promote safer and more sustainable pest control methods. They work towards influencing policy and raising public awareness about the dangers of pesticide use and the benefits of alternative solutions.
They are calling on the UK Government to phase-out the use of pesticides in publicly-run areas. This, in practice, will mean that pesticides would not be permitted for use in the streets, playgrounds and green spaces of our villages, towns and cities.
Please sign the petition if you agree with their aims! https://pesticidecollaboration.org/go-pesticide-free/
