Subject: I support the prohibition of toxic herbicides on County owned and maintained parks,
roadways, waterways, and other county spaces.
I respectfully demand that you vote to prohibit the use of toxic herbicides, such as those containing glyphosate (Monsanto's
"Roundup"), on County owned and maintained parks, roadways, waterways, and other county spaces.
The World Health Organization and other health organizations have recently brought forth more evidence concerning the negative
effects of glyphosate on human health and to the environment. In my opinion it would be irresponsible to continue to igagEtk2
cries of so many to find alternative means to deal with weeds that are less harmful to our people.
To instead simply do another study or to only undertake some pilot project would be doing next to nothing.
I look forward to reviewing your votes on Bill 71 and sharing this information with my community.
Mahalo,
Judith Roberts
