• FP is a regional resource. We have developed
the initiative and it is now time for the region
to come together to help us actualize this
vision.
• This project will be a legacy for future
generations and it is up to us if we want to give
these future generations a gift or leave them
with a debt.

On March 20, the World
Health Organization
announced that it was
officially classifying the
herbicide [glyphosate] — the
most widely used farm
chemical in the United
States — as a “probable”
cause of cancer.
“Glyphosate is a
“probably
carcinogenic”
pesticide. Why do
cities still use it?”-

Cause Cancer. Should We
