Pesticides are not the "Natural Way"

HELP! Our neighbor values a green lawn more than a life! They constantly have their yard, trees and shrubs sprayed with pesticides. Pesticides that are on the EPA's list of endocrine disruptors. We have a pesticide free yard and organic garden. Every month, we have to cover my garden and fruit trees to keep the lawn care company from over-spraying onto our garden and fruit trees. This last time, I caught them spraying full blast and it coming through the fence that clearly divides our property lines. I stopped them just short of spraying my honeysuckle vines that cascade over the fence. They know I am pesticide sensitive and am trying to keep the spray off my yard. The lawn care company boasts they have the right to do this!!! And that they can spray anything that is on the neighbor's side of the fence and that our concern for over-spray is not substantiated. They are saying I do not have the right to a pesticide-free yard!!! We must go cry out to our city, county, state and federal governments to get over-spraying to be illegal. Every homeowner in America should have the right to NOT HAVE HARMFUL CHEMICALS SPRAYED ON THEIR LAWNS VIA THEIR NEIGHBOR! Help me start this fight! After all, the tomato you pick from your organic garden may have the pesticides from your neighbor on it. Do you feel safe feeding it to your children? Contact the Governor of Colorado, Bill Ritter and tell him Bev Veals wants Residential Pesticide Use Guidelines! I am a 9-year, two-time, advanced stage breast cancer survivor. PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

We are registered as pesticide sensitive. I explained that in the video. My "nut bag" wife would stay inside if the company's sprayers would correctly do their job. She would not have a problem with the spray if the first sprayer continued to spray the properties. She would also not have a problem if this company wasn't threatening her hard work every 3 or 4 weeks.

I find it interesting "MThorp1" that you had a profile on the morning of 9-19-08 and now it is cancelled. Hiding from something?

Have we not learned that our ecosystem is only respondent to survival if all aspects of the system are present? Man just by himself can not sustain the planet. Through the sin of Adam and Eve, God gave man the knowledge to care for this world. When we destroy the balance of this planet through laziness and irresponsible tactics, such as with pesticides, we fail God. For the love of money, man continues to fall. God does not shed His Grace on such destruction. The Devil smiles. And Jesus weeps.

I thought this was America!!! You know, NRA... PTA... FFA... Pesticide-free... If someone doesn't want chemicals on their yard, that's their right. Right??? You go, sister!!! Palin would be proud to have you in her corner!!!

You've lost touch with reality my friend because covering a few trees with plastic doesn't do much except make a lot of work for yourself. That spray is up in the, air its on your fence, its on your grass, its on that plastic (that you will pull down and store every week) You should realize though that we breathe in all nasty poisons everyday from car plane truck pollution acid rain chemically treated water, almost all food bought in a store is treated with pesticide. It's your choice to stay.
