we actually did it because the city agreed to stop using those toxic sprays for good. i am so proud of how we kept pushing until they finally listened to us. stay tuned because i want to keep an eye on things to make sure they stick to the promise.

We are asking the City to stop the use of toxic pesticides and herbicides in San Clemente, and not to allow the multiple agencies working within the City to use these harmful unsafe toxins where we live.
I asked one man what he was spraying and he told me the product was Roundup. I am not sure if you are aware but there is international concern for Roundup and other products with the main ingredient of "Glyphosate" which is used commonly for weed control. A ever growing large body of evidence / research, the EPA and medical professionals agree the use toxic pesticides are linked to the pandemic of health issues and the rise of diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Alzheimer's and autism, just to name a few. These health effects are not inline with the healthy lifestyle we desire to have in San Clemente.
There are many studies showing the harmful effects to our health especially children when these toxics exocrine disruptors are used where we live. Please visit www.NonToxicSanClemente.org for more information.
Our children, family and pets should not be exposed to toxins designed to kill on a regular basis. We do not want to be playing and walking through chemically treated areas with harmful toxins for the sake of a weed to die. The health consequences to our children and loved ones are not worth it.
Spraying pesticides also kills the microorganisms in the soil and then they soil can no longer absorb carbon. When the sprinklers go off these toxic chemicals go directly into the storm drains and wreck havoc in the ocean, if you read the insert for the pesticide products you will see Glyphosate is acutely toxic to aquatic creatures.
Toxic chemicals have been directly linked to the dramatic bee and butterfly population declines.
I ask that the City adopts and organic policy model for weed control ASAP, as reliance on harmful pesticides and herbicides are poisoning our children and community and putting everyone in harms way.
Glyphosate is banned from use in 26 countries. Why are we spraying something so nasty where we live?? The risk of these harmful pesticides and herbicides are great and not even fully understood the entire picture of the damage they are causing.
We also know that "Glyphosate" is it highly toxic and a health risk based on the EPA’s website and classification. Many studies are showing the kidney damage, Cancer, Leukemia, Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are linked to the chemical toxins the City uses for landscape management.
We want San Clemente to be pesticide and herbicide free.
Thank you

My neighbor sprayed their huge empty lot with Round-up. I'm very concerned what high concentration saturating his lot that it will run off into the storm drain and has poisoned the eco-life under the soil. Burrowing Owls lived there,
Enough already. Stop the poisoning of our land, ocean and residents. This is crazy. pediatric cancer is not a rarity in our town. My son is one of those who is fighting the fight. He is 7. This is a no brainer.
Please ban all use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides etc as there are natural alternatives LIKE NEEM OIL etc that work and have been used for centuries that don't pollute the environment and harm humans (cancer, leukemia, birt defects etc)
I just went to my first HOA meeting and shared my concerns about Roundup and other pesticides. They said I'm not the first. My next plan is to bombard their email with all the useful articles I can find to educate them since I did get some push back.
we are so close to the Ocean, and we should be a leader in going all natural...so much poison is used in landscaping, on street ways, and golf courses...I would love to see San Clemente take a stand, for our children! For our Ocean! For the birds!
Stop spraying toxic chemicals.Keep my grandchildren safe
Stop hurting our children by spraying toxic chemicals where they play and swim.

The rate of pediatric cancer in our community is very high. My 8 year old son just finished 3 years, 3 months of daily chemo. No child or family should endure this. Make our city safe. We are poisoning our residents, pollinators and pets. Time to wake up
