Food for thought...

BRONXVILLE, NY — Now that we are experiencing a wonderful influx of new young families to the Village, keeping it as safe as possible on every level is paramount.
With our lawns, both front and back, often used as our children's play areas, I thought it time to revisit the use of pesticides on lawns throughout the village. As you may remember, the Village Trustees banned the use of pesticides on all municipal properties well over a decade ago. Many residents followed suit but we still see a profusion of little yellow pesticide flags throughout the Village.
As background, post World War II, all of the U.S. chemical companies had warehouses full of potent chemicals left over from the war effort and re-purposed many into chemicals and pesticides for our lawns.
This new industry came at the perfect time for the post-war-boom generation who wanted to be suburbanites with all the accouterments that attached including manicured lawns and foliage.
Lawns were equated with an approved lifestyle and the Department of Agriculture along with the Garden Clubs of America and the USA Golf Association promoted the gospel of grass. Best lawn contests were held in neighborhoods and uniformity encouraged.
Scientific studies simply did not keep pace with manufacturing production so there is actually no reason to believe that just because something is on the store shelf, it is safe. You only have to look at the presence of Roundup on virtually every hardware store shelf to see that affirmed.
Chemicals used since the last 1960s are now only being tested for toxicity. As an example, those lawn flags stating the ground will be safe in 24 hours are not based on any scientific study rather it was a legislative compromise between the EPA and the large chemical companies.
Honestly given what we know now from scientific research, the perfect lawn should not be a source of envy but a source of potential harm.
As spring is here, it is not too early to consider alternative methods to care for your property as so much evidence points to the adverse effects on human health and the environment posed by synthetic pesticides.
Americans apply 80 billion pounds of pesticides annually at a cost of $2 billion and the use is increasing annually. Homeowners use 10 times the amount that farmers do acre per acre.
Many chemicals banned in other countries are still in use in the United States. The use of those chemicals is of particular concern to our young residents. Children are uniquely vulnerable to pesticide exposure as they spend more time playing on the grass and outdoors in general.
The pesticides can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, carried home on the soles of shoes and inadvertently ingested when children put unwashed hands in their mouth.
If a homeowner or lawn care professional chooses to spray chemicals on the lawn, it is imperative that you notify your neighbors so that windows can be closed and children, animals and toys brought inside as there is a direct relationship between this kind of pesticide exposure and diseases including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, prostate cancer, Parkinson's disease and lung cancer.
What was thought to be acceptable amounts of chemicals, scientists now know have a cumulative effect most notably of disrupting the endocrine system. This disruption actually has a direct link to breast and thyroid cancer, infertility and diabetes.
Regular pesticide use kills microorganisms in the soil weakening plants so they are vulnerable to pest infestation and disease. Pesticides also indiscriminately target and kill beneficial insects, frogs, birds and even household pets.
Just last year an EPA test found non-organic fertilizers in more than half of our water bodies nationwide and up to 70 percent in East Coast waters and a pesticide in at least in every fish sample.
Simply put, what we put on our lawns ends up in our water and is not all removed by water treatment.
As per our water supply, please consider vigilant eco-stewardship and water lawns only once a day and in early morning when evaporation is lowest, thus maximizing the effectiveness of the water and aiding in deep root growth that is more drought resistant.
Calibrate sprinklers so water is never directed on driveways or sidewalks.
Net net, simple adjustments to our normal routines can make the Village a much healthier place to live and work.
