<h1>Take the Pledge</h1>
<a href="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/MWGG_feet_web.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-2833 size-full" src="http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/MWGG_feet_web.jpg" alt="MWGG_feet_web" width="960" height="375" /></a>

More and more, MPAC receives your concerns about reducing the use of potentially harmful gardening and lawn care chemicals in our lawns, parks, and other public places. We want to turn your concerns into action by creating a community of informed citizens ready to organize and advocate for more natural lawn care practices at home and Midwest-wide.

But we need your help! By taking this Midwest Grows Green (MGG) pledge, you join an online, engaged network of citizen activists prepared to eliminate synthetic chemical use on your own lawn and/or garden and at all locations where children, pets, and wildlife live and play. Will you join us?!!

Your commitment today gives you access to natural lawn care resources, advocacy support, and event updates from our monthly newsletter and adds your name to the larger MGG effort as we recruit more pesticide-free parks, point-of-purchase retailers, and pledges.
