As schools start to welcome the students for the new school year, EcoSMART is gearing up an effort to remind parents of the harmful effects of pesticides used by schools for their classrooms. Pesticides and other known toxic chemicals are commonly used to ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of schools but the fact remains that their remains or fumes can be harmful to kids.

EcoSMART offers information online for parents to learn about how commonly used pesticides with harmful chemical ingredients can be a threat in school and at home for children, and supports the nonprofits Beyond Pesticides and Healthy Child Healthy World in providing information to help parents better understand the issues of pest control.

EcoSMART is thus urging parents to talk to school officials about the SEPA ruling, and health dangers of toxic pesticide use, and to take initiative in their own homes, and gardens, to make the living environment free of harmful chemical pesticides.
