Just found this recent article in Time magazine about a Harvard study that examined the amount of pesticide residue in the urine of children. The higher the rate of pesticides in a child's urine, the more likely that the child had ADHD.
I think I'm starting my crusade soon.
Why I Am Here
It all started in spring 2009 when I noticed that almost every residence in my suburban town had one of those scary "Pesticide Application" signs on the front lawn. And then my father, a lifelong gardener from a family of gardeners, mentioned to me that he now has to pollinate all of his vegetable plants by poking his fingers into the flowers because he has so few bees in his garden... I've seen more of these signs lately than I care to count. I'm exhausted.
