Dear Hawaii County Council,
i
We thank you for continuing the conversation about the dangers posed to our community by chronic low level exposure
to herbicides as sprayed by the County on our roads and parks.
However,the science is clear—we don't need to wait for more studies. Our vulnerable populations need action now.
We need a bill written to protect the community from exposure to harmful chemicals—like glyphosate and dicamba—
that ultimately requires the County to control vegetation in public spaces using other methods besides the application of
these dangerous herbicides. j
Now is the time to protect public health and the environment by getting herbicides out of the County's parks and roads!
Mahalo!
Sincerely,
Barry Blackburn
