At Beyond Pesticides, I am thankful we recognize the immediate support needed in this regard, at the same time that we move ahead with the urgent work to ensure a sustainable future. We move forward, while affirming that we must collectively work to uphold scientific integrity, democratic institutions, academic independence, fair elections, social justice, equality, independent courts, and the rule of law.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>I am thankful that:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>There is an organization like Beyond Pesticides that focuses without equivocation on reversing the threats to health, biodiversity, and climate<\/strong> that are substantially elevated because of the continuing and unnecessary reliance on petrochemical pesticides and fertilizers. We have spotlighted over the last four decades the organic solution that has grown from an idea to a reality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We know how to operate productive and profitable farms and manage parks, playing fields, and schoolyards without toxic chemicals<\/strong> that contribute to debilitating and deadly diseases, biodiversity collapse, and dramatic disruptions to our climate\u2014that this is a current reality. We work every day to support organic agriculture and directly assist communities, through our Parks for a Sustainable Future program, in eliminating toxic chemicals in land management\u2014and, in the process, eliminate emissions from their production, stop exposure through their use, and repair the environment and health in partnership with nature.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>We are able to focus our resources, without equivocation, on empowering advocacy with people and organizations across the country and worldwide<\/strong>\u2014ensuring that scientific findings in real time are made accessible to inform the need for urgent action to eliminate pesticides and fertilizers and put in place ecological-based practices.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>We no longer use the word \u201creduce\u201d and, instead, define our efforts to \u201celiminate\u201d toxic pesticide and fertilizer use.<\/strong> Our strategy distinguishes Beyond Pesticides from campaigns against individual pesticides or pesticide families, which historically is an approach that leaves us confronting new chemical replacements and more complex problems. We are careful to shine a spotlight on flawed and outdated statutes and regulations that do not integrate into their standards the viability of organic practices as a social good to meet the urgency of the moment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beyond Pesticides has a history of experience.<\/strong> Our history is an important guide for us; a history that calls for a bold strategy that questions underlying norms that have brought us to this perilous point of catastrophic environment and health threats. As the threats mount, the strength of our nationwide and worldwide movement and the examples of cost-effective alternatives grow stronger.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beyond Pesticides uses holistic thinking.<\/strong> For us, to think and act boldly is to advance a holistic solution that challenges the assumption that toxic chemicals are a tool that can be managed with mitigation measures and restrictions that somehow make them acceptable. The science tells us, and history confirms, that pesticide restrictions have failed and that pesticides (mostly pesticides uses) withdrawn from the market after long negotiations between EPA and the chemical industry are replaced with new chemicals and new problems. Genetically engineered herbicide-tolerant crops were supposed to reduce pesticide use, but resulted in an explosion of weed killers, including the use of glyphosate (Roundup) linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Neonicotinoid insecticides, systemically integrated into the plant through its vascular system, were supposed to protect us from pesticide drift in the air, but they end up in the plant\u2019s pollen, nectar, and guttation droplets and indiscriminately poison foraging insects\u2014causing dramatic declines in bee populations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The National Forum Is Cutting Edge.<\/strong> At this year\u2019s 42nd annual Forum, The Pesticide Threat to Environmental Health: Advancing Holistic Solutions Aligned with Nature (2nd session December 4), we ask: Should we accept partial restrictions of pesticide use, despite the availability of cost-effective alternatives that stop the toxic assault and help to prevent the most serious associated diseases that invade and attack our bodies, our loved ones, our families, and our communities\u2014with breast cancer, prostate and testicular cancer, pediatric cancer, infertility, and more?\n<\/li>\n<li>We collaborate with grassroots people and organizations. We build our strategies together from the ground up, empowering strategic local action with science and technical organic land management know-how, while answering calls daily from people who want to get involved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether we live in a rural area, a city, or suburb, we are all intricately linked by the environment that we share. And for this reason, our program is intended to focus on how we can and must, in a practical way, embrace the natural systems that serve as the foundation for life.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely and all best wishes for the holiday season,<\/p>\n<p>Jay Feldman <br \/>\nExecutive Director<\/p>\n<p><em>All unattributed positions and opinions in this piece are those of Beyond Pesticides.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/give\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thanksgiving-Give-2025-II.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, December 2, 2025) A personal and heartfelt message from Jay Feldman, executive director, for the holiday season!

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\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"On Giving Tuesday, Beyond Pesticides Appreciates Your Support - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2025\/12\/giving-tuesday\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"On Giving Tuesday, Beyond Pesticides Appreciates Your Support - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog","og_description":"(Beyond Pesticides, December 2, 2025) A personal and heartfelt message from Jay Feldman, executive director, for the holiday season!

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\/40402","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=40402"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40441,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40402\/revisions\/40441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
