In this month’s Organic Gardening Podcast we chat to Nick Mole from Pesticide Action Network (PAN UK) about why pesticides should be banned in urban areas.
“Knowing there are alternatives to pesticides that work, makes pesticide use in our towns and cities completely unnecessary,” says Nick, policy officer at PAN UK, in our August podcast. “France has banned the use of all non-agricultural pesticides. They have legislation in place and it works. It’s often hard, councils are facing all sorts of difficulties – so we need that support from our legislators.”
Fiona finds out more about the #GoPesticideFree campaign, which runs until September, and is calling on the government to ban pesticide use in towns and cities. And finds out how communities can be affected by pesticide use.
