Help me stop toxic strawberries
I just took action and hope you can too. California's Department of Pesticide Regulation is considering approval of methyl iodide, a carcinogenic pesticide, for use on strawberry fields. A panel of Nobel laureates and expert scientists called methyl iodide "one of the most toxic chemicals used in manufacturing," yet the State of California is considering allowing it to be sprayed and injected into the soil.
Will you join me in asking Governor-elect Jerry Brown to pledge to ban methyl iodide as soon as he takes office?
Governor-elect Brown has the power to decide whether or not methyl iodide should be allowed on California's strawberries. It's time to put our health, the health of farm workers, and children's health before the profits of the pesticide industry. The state should be finding safer, healthier ways to produce strawberries -- not allowing more toxins into our bodies and our environment. Please join me in signing the petition to Governor-elect Brown!

Come See Jared and Others Speak About Water!
Friends, Collegues, Fellow Environmentalists,
Clear your calendars on the evening of December 8th!
As many of you know, our team at Below the Surface completed an expedition in September 2009 to better understand and film pollution sources along the Sacramento River, covering the nearly 400 miles of the Sacramento River and making our way down the nearly 450 miles of State Water Project.
San Diego Coastkeeper has invited me to be 1 of 4 panelists to speak about this at their annual Signs of the Tide event. The panelists will be discussing our team's observations on this expedition, the politics, science and at-home solutions for the water scarcity we find ourselves in as a region.
Check out the event at http://www.sdcoastkeeper.org/act/green-events-in-san-diego/signs-of-the-tide.html and join us on December 8th from 6-8 pm at the Urban Corps of SD 3127 Jefferson Street 92010
See you then!
Jared
