Consider making a tax deductible donation to Beyond Pesticides Ohio. We have accomplished so much by educating cities, schools and park districts on how to make communities safer for people, especially children, pets and the environment. This includes getting Cleveland Heights, South Euclid, Lakewood, University Circle and more to ban the use of pesticides on all public property. Recently we steered $25,000 grants to South Euclid and University Heights as part of Stonyfield Yogurts Play Free program. This project helps cities create safe, organic and healthy playing fields for children, families and pets. 

When Cuyahoga County passed their landmark ordinance banning lawn pesticides from all county owned land they did this to safeguard public health and also to encourage greater Cleveland communities to use this as a model.
 Indeed, this ordinance has been used as a model throughout the state and the nation. Most recently Philadelphia's Toxic Free Philly Campaign resulted in legislation banning pesticides on all public grounds. 
​
Huge Breakthrough. Recent multi million dollar jury awards for health damages (cancer) due to exposure to Monsanto's Roundup/Glyphosate is a game changer. Indeed, insurance companies are rethinking whether to continue insuring companies that produce pesticides.

Working to Protect People, Pets and the Environment from Unnecessary Exposure to Pesticides 

Since 1985, Beyond Pesticides Ohio (formerly Ohio Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) has been the only organization in Ohio that focuses exclusively on pesticide reform issues. Beyond Pesticides Ohio's mission is to educate the public and public officials about the hazards of exposing people (especially children and the chemically sensitive) and the environment to toxic chemicals and the availability of safe and effective alternatives.
NEW! Beyond Pesticides Ohio is working with Stonyfield Organic to create organic playing fields #Playfree. Learn more about Stonyfield's Playfree initiative here.
