Love The Dandelions: Please Don't Use Commercial Weed Killers

Please please please do not use commercial week killers like Roundup on your lawns, parks, playground, restaurant patios, etc.

Here are just a couple peer reviewed, scientifically researched, articles discussing the horrible dangers of this product. Not only is it's active ingredient, Glyphosate, a known carcinogen and neurotoxin, the so-called inactive ingredients have been found to exacerbate the toxicity of the Glyphosate.

• From Scientific American: Weed-Whacking Herbicide Proves Deadly to Human Cells

• From Ohio Sate University: Researchers Study Roundup as Possible Cause of Harmful Algal Blooms

Plus, dandelions and other weeds are beautiful, food for birds like finches and people, and incredible medicine. They are good for body, mind, and spirit, and don't let billions of dollars in advertising convince you otherwise.

Let's follow Ontaio, Canada's lead and BAN the use of weed killers on dandelions! (In 2009 they banned the cosmetic use of commercial weed killers on yards, parks, and playgrounds.)

Love the dandelions. They are an amazing source of beauty, nourishment, and medicine.

East and West, Dandelion is Best

Love and Dandelion Wishes,
