Quebec was the first province to introduce a ban on the use and sale of lawn pesticides — including 2,4-D, a chemical produced by American chemical giant Dow AgroSciences.

The David Suzuki Foundation and Équiterre are working with legal counsel at Ecojustice to vigorously defend Quebec's ban on lawn chemicals.
