DOZENS GATHERED AT THE STATE
CAPITOL
TODAY, TO RALLY IN SUPPORT OF
OUR KEIKI.
THEY'RE TRYING TO DRAW ATTENTION
TO A BILL
MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE, THAT
WOULD ESTABLISH RULES FOR USING
PESTICIDES AROUND SCHOOLS.
IF IT PASSES, IT WOULD REQUIRE
LARGE FARMS TO
DISCLOSE ALL RESTRICTED USE
PESTICIDES..AND THEY WOULD ALSO
NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEM WITHIN
100 FEET OF SCHOOLS WHILE SCHOOL
IS IN
SESSION.
KEANI RAWLINS- FERNANDEZ, HAWAII
CENTER FOR FOOD SAFETY: this
bill would protect our students
...protect our keiki ..from
pesticide drift,
going from the fields into our
schools
JOE:
THE MEASURE IS SET TO BE HEARD
BY THE HOUSE
TOMORROW.
