This Friday will will be speaking with local members of the New York based National Coalition No Spray.Org
Local No Spray activists are Ballard/Magnolia citizens group opposed to the spraying, of Toxic Chemicals in urban environments and along with the Sierra Club, the Green Party, farmers at the Interbay P-patch, an organic community garden, and the Washington Toxics Coalition, oppposed three aerial spray applications of the pesticide Foray 48B over a one mile square area of Ballard and Magnolia to eradicate European and Asian gypsy moths. Foray 48B has a poor safety record. They're also worried that the identity of ingredients in the pesticide have not been disclosed, and that the state will not use a buffer zone when spraying near Salmon Bay.
