<h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">Reason #8</span></h3>
Green and Healthy Schools! In 2018 MPAC staff helped <a href="http://www.highlandcommunityschool.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Highland Community School</a> adopt a natural lawn care management plan for its playgrounds, organized a sustainable landscaping career informational session for three horticulture classes at Harold S. Vincent High School, and participated for the second time in the <a href="http://www.gscm.refloh2o.com/">Milwaukee Green Schools Conference</a>.  <a href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/the-problem/childrens-health/">Children are the most vulnerable</a> to pesticide use both indoors and out.  MPAC has already held meetings or conversations with a couple of Milwaukee-area schools and districts for natural lawn care implementation in 2019, but needs your support to eliminate lawn pesticide and fertilizer use on these spaces where children learn and play!
