Driscoll's Under Fire Over Pesticides
Description
Activists stormed Driscoll’s HQ with a bold “Enough is Enough” message, demanding an end to organophosphate pesticides near Pajaro Valley schools — despite a county study claiming no spike in childhood cancer rates. Critics argue the data ignores proven links between pesticide exposure and cancer, citing alarming air monitor readings and chemicals banned elsewhere. Their five demands? One-mile school buffers, real-time pesticide alerts, organic pilot programs, and full phase-out of toxic fumigants. Driscoll’s counters with investments in organic farming and urges broader data analysis — but protesters say the clock’s ticking.
