Paul Tukey on Non-toxic Lawn Care at Crossroads

About a year ago, representatives from Door Property Owners, Sustain Door, and Wild Ones gathered at Crossroads to preview a film called A Chemical Reaction. In this award-winning documentary, spokesman Paul Tukey exposes the harmful consequences of the overuse of pesticides and profiles the experience of a small Canadian community’s successful battle with an industrial giant in stopping the nonessential use of lawn chemicals. The film examines evidence that pesticides harm the environment and can be detrimental to human and animal health, leading to cancers, neurological damage and other autoimmune disorders.

The film so moved everyone at the screening that those in attendance created the organization Safe Lawns in Door County.

In conjunction with the Sustainability Fair, Safe Lawns in Door County is bringing Tukey to Crossroads on April 26 at 7 pm. During this lecture, Tukey will address the hazards of lawn care products and explore the benefits of non-toxic lawn care with safer and equally beautiful alternatives.

This program is free and open to the public.

Crossroads at Big Creek is located at 2041 Michigan St. in Sturgeon Bay. For more information call 920.746.5895.
