Re: Fwd: Pesticide info

Jeff, I've been thinking for some time about the conflict between what many
of us believe about the dangers of pesticides and our willingness as GWA
members to accept sponsorship by some manufactures who are part of the
problem. GWA depends on sponsors for webinars, symposia, even some regional
meetings, not to mention Plant-a Row. Without this sponsorship, meetings
would be much more expensive. As a former GWA Pres., how much are you ready
to compromise? Ellen Spector Platt
