Happy Halloween!

We did not get to the "Trunk or Treat" at the drive-in again this year. The annual Halloween party was organized by the Wellfleet Fire Department. That's where all the neighborhood kids went. We did not receive any little trick-or-treaters, which is a shame. But, we did get one adult, and boy, was she ever dressed to kill. What a costume! I caught a glimpse of our big trick-or-treater through the kitchen window and trembled. Femke Rosenbaum, of Clean Water Art Action Cape Cod, had decorated her cape with the names of the herbicides NStar intends to use under the power lines. These herbicides are very scarey, too. She and husband Peter were on their way downtown to go trick-or-treating. The trick? Spraying herbicides. Don't you just love this American holiday? Yay for Halloween!

NStar wants to TRICK us into thinking Herbicides are safe ~ The TREAT is that they choose to spray Glyphosate (Round-Up) to kill vegetation under the power lines throughout Cape Cod. Unfortunately, the intert ingredient in Glyphosate stimulates the active ingredient which makes it stronger - to a state that harms all living things. Since listing inert ingredients is unnecessary, testing and proof by scientists is not needed. Independent testing has been done proving Glyphosate is harmful to human health. It hurts developing children the most. So, NEVER USE ROUND-UP! And tell everyone you know...If NStar sprays herbicides our drinking water will be contaminated.

Now is that a trick or treat? I think it's the scariest possibility since water is the source of life and we are made up of 75% water. We've got to tell NStar there are other ways to maintain unwanted vegetation to protect Cape Cod's drinking water - do it today - after December it will be too late.

*If anyone knows an environmental lawyer please have them contact me at Littlefieldlandscapes@gmail.com immediately. Thank you for any possible contacts to help protect all residents, tourists, animals and plants on Cape Cod. Is the cost of spraying really cheeper? and for what, the cost of human health? Now that is not a funny trick at all.

Now that's the most frightening halloween costume I have ever seen! Femka we love you and your commitment! I hope many people saw you and got the word. Thanks for all you do on our behalf! and that goes to Laura and Sandy too!
Very scary. I saw on another website people dressed as GMOs, another scary costume!

Love it! Yes, instead of fake monsters, for Halloween 2012, I think people should dress up like the real dangers in today's world, GMOs, pesticides, etc.
That Femke! I love the photos Sandy. In recent weeks, I came upon another creative combo...mixing the trickster's holiday with vaccines...and this was posted innocently enough at CVS. Not every eye that beholds this will see it: ...but with a skeleton promoting the flu vaccines, I could not help the irony. For the sake of profit, crisis scenario's are fabricated and sold to the public with increasingly fear-riddled campaign drives, whether it be the chemical, the drug (same thing?), the military. Would that they turn that same drive to serving the whole community!

Thanks much for the blog!.
