The Town of Fairivew has started spraying herbicide (KillzAll) along the road edges in town. I think this is an unnecessary expense which has little impact on road life. I'm also concerned with the chemical being used. There is much more detail in the file link below including a recommendation. If you support this recommendation please sign this petition. The recommendation will be presented to the town Environmental Committee and/or the Town Council.

i honestly cant believe how quickly this took off. seeing so many people speak up about the spraying gives me a lot of hope that we can actually change the minds of the council members.

This stuff is going from roadsides to ditches to creeks to back yards and pastures, along with all the water we see everywhere lately. I'm not a scientist, but it seems like it's an unnecessary risk.
I am in remission from multiple myeloma. A study partly sponsored by the EPA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that found some users of glyphosate were observed to have a higher risk of multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting bone marrow, than people who never used the chemical. I do not want to be exposed to this chemical!
Please stop the usage of toxic chemicals in our town. The chemical that Fairview is spraying has been proven to cause cancer and Parkinson's disease.
This chemical has been linked to so many illnesses that it is amazing we have not banned it all together. The power of Monsanto :(
Please keep our neighborhood free from chemicals. Thank you.
Please refrain from spraying toxic herbicide in our Town. There are better options available...take the responsibility to research them!
An unconscionable action by the town of Fairview. Repairing pot holes is what saves the blacktop.

If the Town of Fairview is trying to "Keep It Country" using the chemical Glyphosate is certainly going about it the wrong way. Weeds, like chiggers & mosquitoes, are here to stay. However, if we continue using these chemicals most likely the wildlife that comes into contact with it won't be.
