The earth does not belong to humans; humans belong to the earth.

Pesticide Free Edmonton knows it takes everyone working together to address the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. Social cohesion, health, and the environment are connected to the stewardship practices of each Edmontonian. We are calling on the City of Edmonton to step up with a strong cosmetic pesticide ban that allows pesticides for health crises only.
Our Values
Inclusivity
All Edmontonians deserve access to inclusive green spaces that promote health and safety without fear of compromising their health.
Reciprocity
We support respectful relationships with the land and among one another with the intention of bettering our community.
Transparency
It is imperative for the city to be upfront about its pesticide usage laws and to put the health and safety of Edmontonians first.
