Pesticides

Resource Conservation Manitoba has spoken out about pesticide use recently.  We raised concerns about Malathion fogging for Mosquito control and about how Dursban is applied in Winnipeg for the control of Dutch elm disease.  We would like to know what you think of our interventions.  Do you think RCM should be involved in the pesticide debate? Are there other pesticide issues in Manitoba you want RCM to address?  Answer our poll question.  If you have further comments, please include them on our message board.

Should Resource Conservation Manitoba speak out against overuse of pesticides in Manitoba?

Pesticide use is an important issue. RCM needs to have its voice heard to reflect a precautionary approach.
Pesticide use is too controversial or complicated an issue. RCM should leave the topic for other organizations to address.
RCM should only speak out about pesticides under special circumstances.
