The eco-documentary "Chemical Reaction" brings the story about a little town named Hudson fought off lawn care and agriculture corporations and became the first place in North America to ban pesticide use on private lawns. This result came after years of campaigns, protests, activist activities, research, and community outrage. The story comes to a head when a 10-month old child is paralyzed due to exposure to a chemical compound that is commonly found in lawn care products. Even today, chemical companies like DowAgroScience are suing the Canadian government for upholding the bylaws established by to block the use of their product. Watch the Chemical Reaction trailer and see for yourself.

I have a video on youtube as well; it's about atrazine. It is a pesticide and I would appreciate if you could offer me some feedback on the video.
