In May 2015, the <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/05\/boulder-city-co-passes-bee-safe-resolution-restricting-use-of-bee-toxic-neonicotinoids\/\">City of Boulder, Colorado voted to restrict the use of neonics<\/a> on city property. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www-static.bouldercolorado.gov\/docs\/resolution-concerning-use-neonicontinoid-pesticides-boulder-1-201504101408.pdf\">resolution<\/a> moved forward primarily as a result of <a href=\"http:\/\/denver.cbslocal.com\/2015\/02\/12\/boulder-group-pushes-for-city-to-become-bee-safe\/\">efforts by grassroots activists<\/a> \u00a0with the local organization <a href=\"http:\/\/beesafeboulder.com\/\">Bee Safe Boulder<\/a>, who influenced surrounding localities to protect pollinators. Three months later, \u00a0the <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/09\/city-of-lafayette-colorado-restricts-bee-toxic-neonicotinoids\/\">City Council of Lafayette, Colorado unanimously approved<\/a> a<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cityoflafayette.com\/ArchiveCenter\/ViewFile\/Item\/1901\"> resolution to prohibit bee-toxic neonicotinoid insecticides<\/a> on city property. Other cities like <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2015\/08\/minneapolis-mn-passes-organic-pollinator-friendly-resolution\/\">Minneapolis<\/a> \u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2016\/02\/city-of-st-paul-mn-acts-to-protect-pollinators\/\">St. Paul<\/a> \u00a0have enacted similar resolutions in the last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local Ordinances Under Attack<br \/>\n<\/strong>Since the passage of local ordinances in Maine and Maryland, some legislators in those states have or are planning to introduce legislation to take away local authority and reverse the local action and\/or prevent other jurisdictions from acting. \u00a0The Beyond Pesticides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/assets\/media\/documents\/lawn\/activist\/documents\/StatePreemption.pdf\">report<\/a> on state preemption law and its importance in the local democratic process illustrates the benefits of permitting local governments to make decisions that respond to the concerns of their residents, as well as the negative ramifications of state preemption laws. The absence of preemption laws in the seven states that have preserved local authority to restrict pesticides more stringently than the state has been a commanding factor in several pesticide ban victories.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17937"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17937\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17944,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17937\/revisions\/17944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
