Their rational is: 1) the poisonous sprays are now "better" which
means they are stronger and more deadly, so that they can use less; and
2) these sprays completely kill the vegetation so that it does not grow
again. Do we really want to completely kill our vegetation and the
wildlife feeding on it?
At the minute they are using chainsaws, cutting and mowing under these
lines, which means these people would be out of work, not a good thing
in the present financial climate. Also the huge honey bee die-off could
be due to pesticides. Thirty percent of our food supply is pollinated
by bees.
I suggest people get in touch with Green Mountain Power through putting
a note or letter in with their bill or writing on the bill itself. They
can also, of course, call or write separately. GMP, 163 Acorn Lane,
