there are alternative safer pesticides
Yes, there are alternatives.
But the article stated parents wanted ALL pesticides & herbicides banned.
Because of fear over news reports about the Roundup court cases.
This is how irrational fear is initiated and then spreads:
* There is a court case about Roundup & cancer, therefore all herbicides & pesticides probably cause cancer and should be banned
* People who spilled undiluted Roundup on themselves later developed cancer, therefore all people exposed in any way in any concentration of Roundup will develop cancer.
Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution. - Albert Einstein
