City of Santa Rosa: Stop the use of Round Up!

City of Santa Rosa: Stop the use of Round Up in public places.

Why is this important?

We are asking that the city of Santa Rosa stop the use of the highly controversial herbicide Round Up. Sonoma County is known for its forward thinking and general care for the environment, so promoting the use of this product is a step backwards. Round Up contains 1,4-dioxane, which is carcinogenic and is known to damage the liver, kidney, brain, and lungs. Spraying vinegar or other natural herbicides seems to be a much better and cost-effective solution. I walk my dog and my children play in areas that have been sprayed, and it concerns me that they are in contact with this product. We stand up and ask the City of Santa Rosa to find an alternative, safe herbicide.
