Round up on our streets and parks

I implore the town and citizens to be concerned about Round Up being used on our roadways, wetland areas, and parks. Glyphosate ( round up) has been implicated in honeybee decline, destroys milkweed, the only food for Monarch caterpillars, has been found to accumulate in breast milk and urine, and also is highly toxic to aquatic life. Currently, this herbicide is sprayed on our parks and
 roadways to kill weeds, but we must question it's cumulative
 affect on our human and environmental health of our town.
