BEYOND PESTICIDES

Mission

Beyond Pesticides (formerly National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., which works with allies in protecting public health and the environment to lead the transition to a world free of toxic pesticides. The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns.

Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them.

TEXAS IPM PROGRAM

The goal of IPM is not to to eradicate pests, but to eliminate pest problems by strengthening and stabilizing the landscape so that conditions are more favorable for plants than for pests.  This balance is achieved by employing a combination of practices to prevent or avoid pest problems rather than treating them once they occur. By using scouting and monitoring practices for pests that include insects and other arthropods, actions to suppress population levels can be made in a timely manner, using a combination of the most environmentally-friendly and cost-effective tactics available.

Emphasis is given to cultural (non-chemical tactics) and biological (biological control using predators, parasite and pathogens) methods of control.  Properly-applied chemical control methods are used only when justified, and then by choosing the least toxic methods.

DIY NATURAL

This site – DIYNatural.com (which stands for do-it-yourself, naturally) – is run by us, the husband/wife team of Matt and Betsy Jabs.

In a nutshell, we grew tired of working unfulfilling jobs to pay for a bunch of unfulfilling stuff, and decided instead to define our mission in life and pursue it no matter what. Now we wake up every day and work to create information that empowers people to live healthier, happier, more fulfilling lives.

Our new mission is to empower you by supplying information that increases freedom, joy, and meaning in your life.

We’re honored to have you visit, read, share, and support our work and trust it will bless you.
