Chemical Use Reduction and Education (CURE) Task Force

Meets monthly. See our calendar for details.

Scientific evidence increasingly indicates that even small quantities of pesticides and other toxic chemicals -- those found in vinyl household products, dry-cleaning materials, Scotchguard, Teflon, flame-retardants, body-care products, flea collars, bug bombs, and others -- cause epidemics of chronic illness and disorders, from cancer to birth defects to neurological problems. These toxins also degrade our soil, water, and other natural resources.

CURE is committed to educating the public about these dangers and the safe alternative solutions which exist. CURE is also committed to educating the public about the role of compost in enriching the soil and in growng pest- and disease-resistant plants and produce.

Our portable awareness display (pictured above), funded by New England Grassroots Environmental Fund, offers many and varied educational handouts. Find out about scheduling this wonderful display FREE for your school, church, company, or group.
