Mission Statement

  
Beyond Pesticides began in 1981 as the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides, a non-profit membership organization that was formed to serve as a national network committed to pesticide safety and the adoption of alternative pest management strategies which reduce or eliminate a dependency on toxic chemicals. We are governed directly by our membership, including individuals and organizations, which elects a 15- member board of directors. In 1998, the board of directors decided that the name Beyond Pesticides better captured the mission of the organization.
  • Geographic focus: national
  • Membership: 1,100 individuals and groups
  • Other organizational activities (not directed specifically toward children): advocacy, education, organizing

    Beyond Pesticides assists its members in the evaluation of pesticide problems and pest management practices as well as the adoption of alternatives in homes, schools and communities. Beyond Pesticides offers information on pesticide hazards and safe pest management solutions and represents the public interest on crucial federal and state decisions. Beyond Pesticides addresses those sub-populations most vulnerable to pesticide poisoning-children, pregnant women and agricultural workers-through its work on integrated pest management for schools, endocrine disruption and wood preservative products.
