Risa,
We are showing the film to several state legislatures in the coming months. We will very aggressively take that approach in the months ahead. Organize a community screening and invite your local elected officials. This is the way the film will really make a difference.

Paul, You need to constantly let us know what we need to do out in the field and in the blogosphere to make a difference. I am sickened by the fact that we continue to pollute our water and poison our pets and our kids. We see a movement towards organic lawns, but we really need a law just like in Canada (I lived in Montreal when the rule changed) to make it a reality. Lawns there aren’t really that bad and frankly, no one notices the weeds when everyone has them. I’d love to see that change in my lifetime.

These signs sicken me when I see them in the neighborhood in the spring and summer. But, you’re right, to see them on a playground is just insidious.
