We believe that all communities have the right to be healthy.  This means clean air, clean water and an environment free from toxic chemicals. We want to help citizens to advocate for public health where they live.

Are you worried about the effects this may be having on the health of your children, pets, wildlife, and the public? Do you want to change what’s happening but aren’t sure where to start?

We can help you.

"The early phase of our transition efforts, between 2004 and 2009, focused on reducing or eliminating the use of all inorganic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides, and significantly reducing the use of organic nitrogen fertilizers in our maintenance programs.  Our experience convinced us that chemicals and synthetics can be systematically eliminated and replaced by programmed encouragement of the natural cycles of support." - Harvard University
