When chemical pesticides were first introduced in the 1940s for large scale industrial use, people hailed them as modern miracles of agriculture. Fast, effective, and easy to use, pesticides were able to wipe out unwanted pests at the slightest sign of an outbreak.

These miracles, however, exacted a deadly price. The same toxicity that proved lethal to insects is also poisoning children, farmworkers, and wildlife. Earthjustice has mounted aggressive legal campaigns to protect people and the environment from pesticides and promote healthy, sustainable farms.

With your help, we can make our nation's farms safer for everyone.
