WHEN: March 5, 2008 - 6pm
WHAT: Since 1991, Pesticide Watch Education Fund (PWEF) has worked side-by-side with communities to clean up and prevent pesticide pollution and pesticide exposure. We believe everyone has a right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live in a healthy and safe community.
Two years ago, we moved our office from San Francisco to Sacramento, to play a larger role in state politics, and to fill a need in the Sacramento Valley to reduce and ultimately eliminate the use of toxic pesticides, while providing safer alternatives and increasing food security. On March 5th, we will be celebrating our efforts over the past two years, with local music, food and speakers, and fundraising money to continue into the next.
