Did you know Copenhagen Denmark's capital , has been Pesticide Free since 2007!
Often when Glyphosate discussions take place in the UK , an excuse made by council or those protecting continued use - is the EU voted to relicensed it (albeit the vote was very narrow and there was an advisory to limit use ) Anyway it was relicensed
However isn't it interesting that many progressive countries within the EU have actually gone against this EU advice and made their own decision to stop the use of Pesticides for weedcontrol.
While U.K. councils continue to have endless meetings & find ways to continue to use glyphosate it is important to remember there are many cities just like Copenhagen that for years and years have successfully been Pesticide Free!!
Copenhagen Mayor of 2008 Line Barford talks of the capital cities success :
•'Copenhagen have actually saved money going Pesticide Free.'
•'You cannot go out there with poison and not kill other species .'
•'Poisons are toxic to humans & we cannot have poisons that our children & ourselves can be exposed to .'
