Comment on Kerstin's post 9-24-07

I agree with what Kerstin said on how there are a lot of restricted pesticides. This website is a list of the different pesticides, herbicide... that are restricted by the federal government. On the website is says the Active Ingredient, Trade Name, Pesticide Type, Restricted Formulations and Use Patterns. What i found interesting was that most of the restricted chemicals were used for herbicides and Insecticide. This comes back to my topic for the beyond the borders project. I find it very interesting how many different chemicals were once used and are now banded.
