Marblehead Pesticide Awareness Committee
MPAC is a volunteer activist group based in Marblehead, Massachusetts. 2008 marks the 10th year of a successful "Awareness Through Education" campaign on pesticide issues.
 MPAC's mission is to reduce and eliminate use of toxic chemical pesticides in our community.
Goals
Our goal is to educate homeowners, landscape professionals, and town officials about the threats to human and environmental health posed by these chemicals - and to promote the many alternative practices and products readily available which can prevent (and if necessary treat) both indoor and outdoor pest problems.
The Future is Organic
The overwhelmingly positive response our campaign has received from Marblehead citizens, as well as from other communities, has supported our view that the future is organic. Safe and effective products and methods are available to address the most common problems faced in the lawn, garden and home. Look for 'Organic Materials Research Institute' (OMRI) whenever possible.
