I am pleased that when residents and visitors use the parks, they will not be exposed to pesticides. That was always important to me when my children were small,\u201d said Ms. Nogaki. <\/p>\n<p>The Township of Ocean joins 38 other communities, and is one of six communities in Monmouth, which have designated Pesticide Free Zones (PFZ) in parks including Asbury Park, Colts Neck Hazlet, Neptune, Wall, East and West Windsor, Irvington, Newark, Manasquan, Ocean City, Pine Beach, and the counties of Burlington and Cape May.<\/p>\n<p>Many scientific studies indicate that pesticides threaten the public\u2019s health by increasing the risk of cancer, learning disabilities, asthma, birth defects, and reproductive problems. These chemicals can also poison animals, pollute local streams and rivers and seep through the ground into underground aquifers. Every body of water tested in New Jersey has evidence of pesticide contamination, according to a study by the U.S. Geological Survey. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/schools\/index.htm\">Children<\/a> are especially sensitive and vulnerable because of their rapid development and behavior patterns. Currently New Jersey uses about four million pounds of pesticides annually for lawn care, mosquito control, agricultural production, and golf course maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe especially want to protect children because they are closer to pesticide applications on the ground, and they are still developing and absorb more pesticides than adults,\u201d said Ms. Nogaki.  <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, alternatives exists that are cost effective and friendly to the environment, simple things like hand pulling weeds, mowing at a height of 3 inches to shade out weeds, mulching areas properly to prevent weeds, planting native plants that do not get insect problems, and reducing or eliminating lawns to cut down on the need for watering, fertilizing and mowing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need residents to do their part in reducing pesticides in our environment and keeping our air, water and land safe from toxic chemicals,\u201d said Mr. Pogwist, chair of the Ocean Township Environmental Commission who brought the PFZ resolution to the attention of the town elected officials. \u201cResidents can participate by making their own property a \u201d\u02dcPesticide Free Zone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ocean Township manages the Colonial Golf Course, Community Pool and Tennis Facility, Joe Palaia Park, Oakhurst First Aid &#038; Fire Company Memorial Fields, Wanamassa Firemen\u2019s Memorial Park, Dave Dahrouge Park, and Wayside Park.  <\/p>\n<p>For more information on non-toxic lawn care and \u201cPesticide Free Zone\u201d ladybug logo yard signs see NJEF\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleanwateraction.org\/programinitiative\/pesticides-free-campaign\">Pesticide Campaign<\/a> and Beyond Pesticides\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/lawn\/index.htm\">Lawn Care Program webpages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleanwateraction.org\/njef\">New Jersey Environmental Federation<\/a> <\/em><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, May 10, 2010) The environmentally friendly ladybug is alive and well in Ocean Township, New Jersey, thanks to a newly adopted Township resolution that declares parks, playgrounds, and fields as \u201cPesticide Free Zones;\u201d requires Township property to be managed with Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a program that manages and prevents pests using environmental information, with a focus on non-chemical pest management methods and tools (sanitation, mechanical, biological and, as a last resort, \u201cleast toxic\u201d chemicals) that are least likely to impact human health or 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\/3588","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=3588"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3592,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3588\/revisions\/3592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
