Stop The Spray, VA
The investigation into the non-existent "VDOT No Spray List," and how our public servants are willing to deceive, placate, and poison us against our wishes.
Takeaways:
-
VDOT is aware that the pesticides they use can make people sick up to 10 miles away.
-
VDOT placates us by "recording our requests" to be put on the No Spray List, while failing to share that Virginia is NOT a No Spray List State.
-
VDOT claims to pull up beehive data on www.driftwatch.org while mapping their spray routes, but admits that calling 1(800) FOR-ROAD is not an adequate method of denying consent to roadside spraying on your property. (I will only share these contacts and phone numbers in-person or via handout.)
Update: No donations will be accepted until trash pickups begin. We are currently waiting on our several Adopt-A-Highway Applications to be approved! Thank you for your patience.
At the suggestion of VDOT's Bill Lewis 👍 Pray Plants is adopting highways across Floyd County! These FREE or donation-based events are for residents and neighborhoods who do not want VDOT to spray toxic pesticides on the roadsides near their homes.
Given all proper permissions, we will cut back the weeds and brush that VDOT would end up spraying, while we do the Adopt-a-Highway trash cleanups.
Please fill out the following application as the first step toward protecting your family, pets, and wildlife!
No donations will be accepted until trash pickups begin. We are currently waiting on our 9 Adopt-A-Highway Applications to be approved! Thank you for your patience.
