Aloha,
Weed killers cause cancer. Do we need any other reason to stop using it(there are plenty)?
Information is already available that it causes cancer and there are already lawsuits against
Monsanto and other corporations that make pesticides. It's just a matter of time before the
county is sued for negligence.
Pesticides don't just harm people,they harm everything living. They aren't necessary. I spray
plain white vinegar to kill weeds on my property. We need to protect ourselves and the
delicate ecosystem of our island. And if we don't care about that, then at least care about the
millions of dollars you will save the county in lawsuits.
Thank you for listening,
Michelle Escobar
