A new law restricting the use of three toxic pesticides that can harm children and kill bees goes into effect Friday in Baltimore City.
CB 20-0495 restricts the use of chlorpyrifos, neonicotinoids and glyphosate (the main ingredient in the popular weed killer RoundUp) on public and private property—including lawns, playing fields, playgrounds, and children’s facilities, with few exceptions.
“From our flower-covered neighborhoods to the food on our table, we need bees and other pollinators,” said Steve Blackledge, conservation program director for Environment Maryland. “Baltimore’s new policy will keep bees buzzing and our communities charming. Bravo!”
