It is scandalous that Fremantle Shire should still be using Glphosphate for weedkilling. Why can they not use the steam alternative that is used along the edges of pavements?

I am. Hair of SHAC (Sustainable Housing for Artists and Creatives) we are all appalled that a development that is supposed to be adhering to principles of One Planet Living etc should be sprayed with poisons.

Spraying of this toxic compound affects wildlife like Bobtail crawling on the floor, insects in the soil and birds eating insects from the soil as well as dogs running in the soils, trees who's roots are in the soil, humans who sit on grass, all the water birds as it leaks from soil into water and back into human for chain.

I believe the local school has a excision there soon and I heard they just sprayed. Are there no alternatives??

This needs to be stopped now, I live next to a park, it horrifies me every time I see them spraying, and then watch the young children and babies laying and playing on the grass on the same day.

Monsanto has for long enough lied and deceived. The evidence of the damage from glyphosate is sufficiently clear and its application should be ceased entirely!

Time's up for Roundup. It's well past the time when it should be done away with. It is well known as a dangerous chemical. How about Fremantle Council take the lead in showing a way forward?
