Our meeting with the Facilities Director was yesterday. It has taken over a month to get in touch, voice our concerns about the use of pesticides where our children play, and get a meeting scheduled. Not only did I never hear back from Gus even acknowledging my email, but he only responded to Abbey and Anna after the reporter that we contacted called him for comments. BUT, we got our meeting, and we showed up along with 10-15 other residents that we talked to. AAAAND, we got somewhere with it. For the next 45 days, there will be no spraying of Roundup in our gardens. Gus also informed us today that he has found four natural alternatives for weed control, which they will be testing around the office building during that 45-day period. He has already tentatively set up our follow-up meeting and has agreed to contact each and every resident of SV via mass email to allow everyone the opportunity to come and be involved in this process.
Yay for getting important shit done.
