Stop use of Roundup in Parks

This petition was published by Melanie Myers on Mar 02, 2010
Closed on Mar 05, 2010
Result:
The city agreed to stop using roundup in parks, rec areas and other public use areas effective immediately. Thanks to everyone who signed and supported the campaign.

Out of concern for the health and safety of our community’s children, we the undersigned Richmond residents ask that the city:

1) immediately cease using toxic chemicals to control weeds and other pests in its parks, recreation fields and public access areas; and

2) formalize this policy in an ordinance similar to those passed by the cities of Berkeley, Albany and Oakland.
