Publication: North Carolina Toxic-Free Schools Update Our
Toxic-Free Schools project has a new resource for community
activists: the North Carolina Toxic-Free Schools Update.
The update is a free quarterly newsletter designed
to keep parents, teachers and other advocates for school
pesticide reform up-to-date on efforts to eliminate
pesticides from our schools. The updates also include
“tips and tools” to help build skills for winning
local pesticide reform. To find out more and subscribe

Youth Soccer Drops TruGreen / ChemLawn Sponsorship We’re
happy to share the good news that US Youth Soccer dropped
their TruGreen/ ChemLawn sponsorship on December 31,
2004. More
information. Many thanks and congratulations to
all the Toxic Free NC Action Alerts subscribers who
wrote to US Youth Soccer last October to ask that they
protect young soccer players from dangrous pesticides
by dropping the TruGreen/ ChemLawn sponsorship.
Say
"Yes" to Public Campaign Fund on N.C. Tax Form
(Submitted by Democracy NC) Support the Public Campaign
Fund for fair courts and fair elections by checking “YES” on
your NC state tax return this year. Saying “Yes” doesn't
change your tax bill and refund; it just transfers $3 to
the new Public Campaign Financing Fund for each person
who says "Yes."
