CELA strongly supports a province-wide ban on the use and sales of cosmetic pesticides. In collaboration with a broad-based coalition of health and environmental organizations, we have supported Ontario's legislation to ban the use and sales of pesticides intended for unnecessary or "cosmetic" purposes. In a world of multiple chemical exposures, we must remove needless risks from lawn and garden pesticides, particularly to reduce risks to children. Beautiful gardens don't need toxic chemicals.
