With all of the vacant land space in Ward 8, the residents of the Ward 8 communities deserve the right to utilize those areas by growing their own produce in the vacant lots. Store brought produce contains an abundance of harsh pesticides and chemicals that are very detrimental to health of the consumers. With there being little to no organic markets or healthy food restaurants in Ward 8, the residents of Ward 8 are obligated to buy and consume the produce that contain chemicals and pesticides from their local grocers. Studies show that these pesticides and chemicals cause cancerous diseases and illnesses.
