I've been writing about the use of Monsanto's infamous herbicide, Roundup, at the El Dorado Park Nature Center, and what action I'm going to take to try and get it banned from use. Think I just found myself some Nature Center allies! The best part of it is, I took this info. right off of the Long Beach Park, Recreation and Marine's very own website!

Broken Hearted: http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=309&i=180
I am heart-broken to find that my Beloved Nature Center is using Roundup, a potent herbicide, to kill weeds. Can Mother Earth forgive us? Can we forgive ourselves?

Herbicide: Drink Up! http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=309&i=181
The Superintendent of Maintenance at the Nature Center told me that the herbicide they use to kill weeds, Monsanto's Roundup, is "safe enough to drink"!

Nature Center Illusion Shattered, or was that Delusion? http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=309&i=182

This writing from my other blog, Spirit Speaks, addresses my thoughts about what positive action I might take to remedy the situation at the Nature Center, where I go to re-connect with Great Mother Earth. I asked my Guides and Great Mother for some input: They told me to come from a place of Love & Integrity: http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=356&i=54

Herbicide, Round 6!  http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=309&i=188
Since I wrote the original blog about the El Dorado Nature Center and the use of the herbicide Roundup, I've found out some new information:  The herbicide used at the Nature Center does not contain surfactant, the inert "detergent" additive that is known to cause environmental devastation.

Volunteers Needed!  http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=309&i=190   I sent an e-mail out to my physician-friend regarding the use of herbicide at the El Dorado Nature Center. I have posted her response below. She believes that the Center's use of herbicide, without the detergent additive that causes so much environmental devastation, is a step in the right direction, but more community volunteers are needed.
