Hello, we are an organization at Santa Clara University called Pest- Aside: Fighting Water Contamination. Pesticide contamination is especially damaging our water supply since 50% of the nation’s water usage originates from groundwater. With the increasing changes in the global climate leading to rising sea levels, the United States is experiencing an increase in the presence of pesticides in groundwater. Our campaign focuses on the impacts of pesticide water contamination and its increasing threat- and more importantly- what we can to do preserve our Earth.

The goal of Pest- Aside: Fighting Water Contamination, is to raise awareness of the connection between pesticide use and water quality. Our ultimate goal is to increase regulations on pesticide use in order to improve our water quality. SIGN THE PETITION to urge the regulation of pesticides that are harming the population.
