Field Burning Update

The field burning campaign is at a crucial point. Legislative hearings on the bill to ban field burning begin THIS WEEK.

The Western Environmental Law Center is organizing testimony (see below for contact information), and Oregon Toxics Alliance will be soon releasing our report to dispel the myth that a ban on burning will lead to the use of more pesticides. Remember, field burning is an air toxics and public health issue.
