Find alternatives to chemical pesticides for your lawn. Despite your best efforts, your garden may develop some pest problems. Insects are a natural part of a garden ecosystem. Employ treatment only if a pest is doing unacceptable damage or threatening to take over. The goal is to control it with minimal disruption of other species.
Consumers can send powerful signals.
Support natural methods of growing fruits and vegetables by buying organic produce. If it's not available at your local grocery, ask to have it stocked. Learn about organic gardening methods, which begin with the least toxic or intrusive control tactics. Use chemicals only as a last resort and not for long-term maintenance. In all cases, choose the least toxic alternative available.
