Children\u2019s body sizes, as well as their penchant to roll around in the grass, means they ingest chemicals at a greater concentration, Mr. Benson said. Similar initiatives are already in place in Newark, Montclair and about three dozen other New Jersey municipalities, Mr. Benson said. Many residents welcomed the initiative. One parent, called the village\u2019s initiative \u201cawesome.\u201d \u201cWe won\u2019t have to worry about our kids getting harmed.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The village\u2019s resolution is scheduled for a vote at the village trustees\u2019 April 12 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Last fall, another New Jersey municipality, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=2570\">Hamilton Township<\/a>, joined other communities in the state that have made their parks pesticide-free zones and have adopted an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for managing town property by passing a resolution adopting a pesticide reduction policy. So far over 30 communities in New Jersey have designated Pesticide Free Zones in parks including Burlington and Cape May Counties, and the townships of Bernards, Chatham, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Asbury Park, East and West Windsor, Hightstown, Montclair, Ocean City, Dennis, Colts Neck, Hazlet, Neptune, Red Bank, Pine Beach and Wall Townships.<\/p>\n<p>Other places around the country are also moving forward to protect their residents from harmful chemicals. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=1668\">New York State Parks<\/a> recently passed a similar policy that also establishes pesticide-free zones. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=1513\">Chicago City Parks<\/a> has reduced pesticide use by 80 percent in their parks, many of which are pesticide-free; in the Northwest U.S. there are more than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pesticide.org\/pfp.html%20with%20pesticide-free%20policies\">50 parks<\/a>; as well as in communities throughout Massachusetts, Maine, New York and Connecticut.

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\/3408","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=3408"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3413,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3408\/revisions\/3413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
