At the beginning of Pesticide Free Balerno concerned residents were ‘reassured’ by council/councillors that Glyphosate was legal for weedcontrol…
Factually this is true , however it is no consolation to our environment or health getting slowly poisoned.
Just because something is ‘legal’ does not necessarily mean it is safe!
•DDT
•Asbestos
•Thalidomide
These were all once aggressively marketed as safe , however years later we find out how harmful they were.

When safe alternatives for weedcontrol are readily available we must request that our councils make this positive change
Thankfully in Balerno this toxic chemical no longer poisons our trees , soil , waterways , biodiversity , pets and ourselves
