Boulder City Public Works: Avoid dangerous pesticides and herbicides in city landscaping

Urge Boulder City to be proactive in eliminating Round Up and similar dangerous chemical combinations in City fields, parks, and landscaping.

Why is this important?

Many countries and even some American cities are banning the use of glyphosate-based chemicals used in landscaping, due to its link to an assortment of health concerns. Boulder City, NV, has the reputation of being "clean and green". As a longtime resident, parent, and teacher, I would urge the city to pursue alternative forms of pest and weed control.
