All over the US are smoking bans...do people realize how much more harmful those lawn & landscape chemicals are to humans and the enviroment? Do people realize that chemical companies use PCB's, labeled as "inert ingriedients", as carriers for common lawn chemicals? Most provinces of Canada have already inacted bans on lawn & landscape chemicals.

Green Bay example of this problem is Grantek Inc. This company takes contaminated sludges from Georgia-Pacific Corporation's nearby paper mill. They dry the sludge, pellitize it, and send the pellets to a chemical company in Illinois, where it is used as the carrier "inert ingredient" for mosquito insecticides. Ironically, the original sludge was created as part of a water pollution control process, to prevent waste chemicals from entering an aquatic environment (the Fox River) - but the Grantek pellets are being spread back into wetlands and other aquatic environments in an effort to kill mosquitos. It's a complete circle. The paper company sludge is contaminated with PCBs, dioxins, toxic metals, and a host of other toxic substances, but people who buy and use the mosquito insecticide will never know this. (Grantek pellets are also used for kitty litter and as a carrier for livestock pharmeceuticals. Those customers are also uninformed.)
