Two concerned scientists, DR. DANIEL HARDER, UC Santa Cruz Arboretum Executive Director, and UC Davis Entomologist DR. JAMES CAREY share research showing that the State's proposed aerial pesticide spraying program will not only be ineffective, but is also unnecessary.
Three concerned citizens tell what they learned from the forced aerial pesticide spraying of Santa Cruz and Monterey, and how citizens in other targeted counties can join the fight to stop the spraying.
MICHAEL LYNBERG - Documented 643 reports of people harmed by forced aerial pesticide spraying in Santa Cruz & Monterey, CA
ROY UPTON - Found dead seabirds the day after the spraying that started him on a citizen's investigation of the toxic chemistry, flawed science, undemocratic politics and backroom economics driving the spray plan.
FOSTER GAMBLE - Followed the money, found the laws and penalties that outlaw such spraying, and suggests a win-win solution in which democratic control can be restored and officials can avoid jail.

Six concerned citizens report on their serious health effects caused by last year's aerial spraying of pesticides over Santa Cruz and Monterey:
TIM WILCOX - An Air Force Major's infant son almost died twice from two exposures to the aerial pesticide spray.
SHERYL KERN-JONES - A psychologist and mother tried to protect her child's yard with tarps and got sick cleaning up the pesticide contaminated rain water they collected.
SHARMAN MURPHY - A chemically sensitive poet, teacher and ocean swimmer tells how her health has been ruined by exposure to the pesticide.
MIKE & JANIS DE LAY both had serious respiratory illness after being exposed to the aerial spray and became activists on the issue.
LAURA VITALE, a chemically sensitive artist and filmmaker sealed off her ecologically-built house from the spray and still got sick. Her response: a just-released documentary film, WEAPONS of MOTH DESTRUCTION.
