As communities try to protect themselves from COVID-19, a respiratory disease that has brought the world to its knees, claiming 106,241 lives in the United States so far, we at Pesticide Free Rowayton were alarmed this weekend to see a bare foot child playing on a lawn doused in pesticides — the yellow sign still posted revealing it was sprayed just three days earlier.
On the same Rowayton Street, a father of two young children was seen spraying Roundup on some weeds that dared to poke through his gravel driveway.
